They're really cute and I like their interactions and how their particular brand of crazy... Meshes. More bonding for real lasting broship needs to continue.
And Shark is surprisingly honest and straight forward in general, except when he's not (duh) but he's pretty damn open with Blizzard.
ALRIGHT META AND STORIES
Shark isn't sure. Obviously the cliches and story tropes are important in this world, and he's seen some crazy as hell shit in his few days so it's not like he can just disbelieve any of it, and he doesn't want to anyway. Because it's exciting and cool and interesting and fun!
And he LIKES cliches. He likes stories. He likes that kind of thing, so being in one, as a "hero" really really appeals to him actually. He's got pride and vanity in a weird way that may not be immediately apparently, but being a "hero" appeals to both of those negative traits a lot, especially in the way he has them. So even if he isn't settled on the boundaries between reality and fiction in Aather, or if there are boundaries to begin with, the concept appeals to him. The idea of using meta knowledge to dictate a story's progression appeals to him a lot because, and this is part of Mikado's canon issues, it's kind of a power trip if he pulls it off. Like playing god with his own destiny and the "Storyline". It's exactly the kind of tool for steering the progression of things that would most excite Mikado and thus most interests Shark.
What about Blizzard? Any issues with being a story character?
