Shrike isn't someone who goes zero to "we're friends now" very quickly but she warmed up to Cobalt pretty fast—I think both because he's friendly at just the right level to coax her a little bit out of her shell, and also because it turns out they have quite a few things in common, despite their worlds being incredibly different.

Basically, he's very comfortable for her to be around, which is a deeply rare circumstance for her that she values quite a bit. Good hug friend.

Especially after witnessing one of his more recent memories, though, and not being able to follow up, she'd like to be able to become better acquainted so that she can offer support properly. She doesn't want to overstep, because it's such a personal thing, but basically she'd like to hang out and talk more, because he's been so kind to her.

cr me back~

Cobalt likes Shrike a lot, and has pretty much from the first time they spoke. Even though they're still relatively new friends, he feels like Shrike probably understands where he's coming from a lot more than other people do. He feels a lot of solidarity with her, which is really important to him.

Cobalt has only mentioned to a few people that he's worried his home was worse than Imeeji, but Shrike has been the only person who seems to actually relate to that. She also seems to understand that feeling of "I am a soldier but I don't get any joy from it, and will avoid it if I can." Both of these are things he kind of feels weird talking about with other people, but with Shrike it feels like he can finally relax about it, because she's right there with him. It's such a relief.

Not only do they have a ton of stuff in common, Cobalt finds Shrike to be easy to be around and interesting to talk to. He'd really like to get to know her more and just... hang out sometimes. He likes her a ton.
