What do I like about him? I dunno. I guess...I like that I don't have to be anything special for him. Like...I don't have to put up a farce or pretend to be something I'm not. [Not that he had to do that with Jade, but with Feferi he'd had to be a rock for her when her nanny died.] I can just be me.
