relationships
jade harley - she somehow tolerates his bullshit, which he is secretly really thankful for - as well as how nice she is to him despite his constant bullshittery and lying and generally being a huge asshole. he really likes her, but he keeps likening her to feferi in his head. as well as being a dumb thing to do anyway, he’s mentally blocked out any memories of what he did to feferi and kanaya, and as such he just gets an inexplicably ominous feeling whenever he thinks of feferi - and this includes jade.
sollux captor - he’s pretty sure by now that their truce is pretty solid. it’s taken some weight without buckling and eridan would kind of maybe like to call it a friendship. anyone else would have no qualms, but… he kind of has issues with that. not to mention the occasional pang of pity he feels for the lowblood whenever they talk about anything that actually matters, and he’s trying to stamp that out wherever it appears but it’s not working so well.
