he would lose what little he has left of his mind if something happened to her, so this shouldn't end poorly. she reminds him simultaneously of the good story he once had and also his current one where he's powerless to do anything. even still, she makes him feel like he can do something cause he's actually a bleeding heart.
he likes her obviously, though it wasn't really like-like until she reaffirmed that he is hers. cause he didn't even take himself seriously then, but once she mirrored it back to him later he was like. oh.
he knows they wont have a happy ending and thats okay, but he's always been as much of an opportunist as he is an optimist. if he can save just her, then thats more than worth everything.
honestly shes probably a large part of the reason hes trying to be a bit bold with knight stuff now because. hope.
he totally picked them because they're both 2 guys who went the job done and also personally not be broken up about it. that part is important bc a.) it means its less work for him and b.) he...doesnt really want to break someone whos not already broken? at least when hes thinking clearly/not in complete piper mode.
honestly theyre a bit too good at their jobs but thats kind of a first world problem? he still would and (has in a sense) stuck his neck out for them because even if theyre not fairy tales he considers them part of his familigia so. protecc.
and said absolutely nothing because he'd actually prefer people to think bad about him, even among his capos. all that aside, this isnt a relationship hamelin has really had before; he's more used to playing with the fast and loose types and mcgillis is just...the opposite of that in every way.
its gone better than he thought? to the point where hes like man maybe i should have listened to scarlet more? oops. he appreciates the commitment here even if he would not be upset if mcgillis turned on him. just as long as he makes it out ok?
...like he cant even promise that right now but he wants to promise that because he is a don first and foremost and he meant that. also kinda wants to headpat him at some point when hes being all serious but he'd have to jump on his desk for it.
Ahaha. He gets it? As much as he will allow himself to get anything anyone is feeling because.
Oh man a cursed existence!!!! It's kinda interesting the different (and similar) ways they've played it, though. Hamelin ain't gonna judge either way though because sometimes the best(?) you can do is keep moving to the beat of a drum no matter what soundtrack it plays.
he feels like if he took jack home with him, scarlet would have a stroke. hansel and gretel would love him, though.
this boy makes his job too easy! the #1 reason hamelin keeps poking tenn is because he needs to make sure enough people hate him enough to really fight him in the end cause hes sure its gonna come down to that. plus, thats how heroes grow, like he did it with caramia and so many other people.
tenn has his heart in a good spot and the more he thinks hamelin is just a violent sadistic asshole, the better. hes happy to keep feeding this perception, it satiates his inner voice a little and it steels tenns resolve so its a win win.
hes said too much but maybe its easy to say too much to a bird? its not a bad thing in the end, and kinda like tenn, hamelin's ok with just letting nageki's mind fill in the blanks to how much of an asshole he is.
aside from the white hair comment (he's blond ok!!!), nhs just reminds him of one of his brats. its fun to joke around with him even if the other prolly doesnt realize how much he really is playing but...that's the fun in it.
god hes just... reminded of kyrie (really cunning, perceptive, logical to a fault). which is complicated because hey someone else he should spur on carefully to keep this story going on! but also augh bc hamelin isnt a mind-games type of person and hes honestly kinda terrified of moriarty catching onto things before the end and that would be.
angels really do exist? he wonders if lucifer wasnt in some ways like the old him. well, much stiffer obviously but! just make his coffee sweeter please, but he'll always eat what people give him.
he's half sorry about the spiders. also pleased with how hes gotten one of the evil dudes to fully be against him because it means hes playing his part right!
he gets it, he really does. sometimes your emotions just [ INTENSE AOL DIALUP NOISES ] and someone you care for is dead bc your hand slipped and grabbed a knife.
would have been so incredibly dangerous for him if she lived!!! he...was kind of bothered by her death actually but since it was so early he could just. stuff it down.
getting betrayed by a close friend really sucks, and he knows it. also oops on the medicine bit but tenn was practically begging him to blackmail him so....you do what you gotta do.
logical, level-headed and all other things hamelin has never understood actually. interesting though because of his relationships with yeager and raven. if cops existed in his homeland, hamelin figures alexei would fit right in with 'em.
ah he really does know what it feels like be the convenient scapegoat. also doesnt feel the need to so aggressively put up a villain front with him, since he figures yeager will always act in his own self-interest anyway.
having someone besides yuri who he can chat somewhat normally with is nice.
a good head on his shoulders and someone he should have treated more antag wise but. idk talk to him about mafia anytime bc he misses his familigia and its easy to talk too much.
not that its a bad thing to talk too much since. ya know theyre all gonna need it but. he def legitimately likes him
someone he would prolly hit too many notes with if they talked more. her wish is one he understands completely; he's always run his familigia that way, just a place for everyone to belong even if it's not all proper like the rest of the mafia.
Might have considered him for a caporegime but he's never been much of a snake guy. its funny bc hamelin does value loyalty highly but obviously sought out duplicitous people to be his caporegime.
gin though is kind of another level entirely. gretel would like him, though.
raven obviously doesnt trust hamelin OR red which is. valid.
considering theyre the same person and all. but! his heart still seems to be in the right place which is good. hes torn between wanting to talk more (as red) and being content as things are bc it means he has less a chance of his cover being blown.
this is a familiar type of relationship he knows all too well, which is nice. he could be less of an asshole to her but he needs her solve to stay sharp.
plus it helps satiate his crazy side.
he would be absolutely fine with it if she could kick his ass.
Quiet, but doesn't have bad instincts. Honestly he's kind of wondered if he didn't have enhanced powers here, would she qualify as an animal-person? How do fairy?????
If he ever gets the chance he'll probably try to go for it and deserve everything he gets in return.
