Varian spends a lot of time with Blade! Even with the forge in the Fortress now, he makes a point of going to Hyrule at least a few times a month to spend time with Blade. And of course, is happy to have him come over to the fortress!! They talk shop and they SO talk about mechs! Jun has been showing Varian mech anime too, so he will bring these up too.

Husk checks on Blade on a semi-regular basis, in a "I don't actually give a shit, BUT" way. He worries about him even if he doesn't want to show it. He's technically family and that means Husk will be weird about giving a shit around him! Yay!

Zulius bothers him every time he comes anywhere near the Vogue. He gets dragged to a seat and told fill him him in on ALL the goss he missed! ALL of it! If he can't think of any? Well... he better!
