As per backroom post, comment with your character's name (past, present, or uh, future?) and I will tell you:

1) how Tom Riddle or Ingress's opinion of the named character has changed over time, or
2) why Tom Riddle or Ingress does or does not get along/like/other with the named pup.

If you really want to ask about poor neglected Missouri, cracktastic Mojo Jojo, or any of my old characters (Susan Pevensie, Albus Dumbledore, etc.), go for it.

Hmm.

I want Tom and Raven, or Tom and Galadan, or Tom and Dean.

(Ingress and Raven is love, too!)

They haven't threaded a lot but their first meeting was not in the best circumstances so Tom and Will.

I am curious about Tom's opinion of River!

I figure I probably know Ingress's, but I ask anyway.

Also, for old times' sake: Susan Pevensie and Alain.

Also also, Tom and Lan, and really I stop there for your sake. *grin*

Although I hasten to add that you totally do not have to address all those unless you want to.

Ingress-Mal, or Tom-Sallie.

Tom and Ingress on Marian!

I think I gave you all but Tom and Galadan in your post! I was proactive!

Tom has always been intrigued by Galadan because he senses that "like calls to like" thing. They've had some really interesting conversations, and Tom would love to run into him again. Er, we should really make that happen.

Tom considers Will as a nice fellow. He's a regular of the bar, and so one of those who "belongs", and he is good to talk to (when they get a chance to talk). Even with the incident in question, Tom knows Will had his side of the story to tell (and knowing Draco, it was likely the better of the two). He'd seen plenty of arguments and fights in the bar by that time. ;-)

Tom cares for River a great deal, even though he doesn't see her, well, ever, anymore. :-P She falls into the category of "young women he is sworn to protect". This group consists primarily of Door, Anthy, River, Tonks, and Amy.

Now, he knows full well that none of these young women really need his protection, but he will offer it in case they ever do. So she taps into his newly awakened chivalrous side that borderlines on chauvinism, because hey - born in 1927. It's a thing.

He also respects her as a warrior, but because she is a little off (he's polite about this kind of thing), he thinks she is a little more fragile than a warrior like Faith, but a warrior nonetheless.

He thinks of her often. The trip they made together was one he'll never forget.

Ingress thinks River is neat, but she's also sad, and maybe sick, a lot of the time. When she sees River unhappy, she takes it upon herself to make her feel better, to cheer her up. Of all the "big girls" she talks to, River is the one most like a kid to her.

Funnily enough, I don't think she knows that River is a gunslinger.

I almost forgot about this, but didn't quite!

Tom thinks Lan is stoic (duh) and aloof. He doesn't mind that, but he does wish he could be one of the fellows that can just sit and talk.

Hey, on that note, Ingress hasn't had a swords master to teach her since Arithon faded away. That's been a long time. Might we arrange something between the two? I fear her forms are getting rusty, and that will not do.

Mal is one of the jolly fellows who makes Ingress' life a happier one. She would never believe he was considered anything less than a good guy, but even when she finds out he's not always on the right side of the law, she'll adore him nonetheless. Good old Underside upbringing - moral ambiguity is fun!

Tom doesn't know Sallie all that well. Have they threaded???? Egads! He never got the concept of grandparents, since he never even had parents, so he doesn't relate to her in that way. He knows that Ingress does, and Sallie makes Ingress happy, so that's brilliant.
