PERSEPHONE is cute! They need to talk more but Phoenix is just like, this person seems very soft and also introverted. But also really kind! Because his first impression is still of Persephone doing his best to help newbie Phoenix by taking him somewhere quiet and safe.
He would love to just hang out and get to know Persephone, maybe have tea together some time. Do something really quiet and low key that seems to be Persephone's jam. He's kind of consumed by his unit's drama with things atm but he still has make friends with everyone goals and Persephone is definitely on the list.
Three things to keep in mind with Persephone: 1) he's never really had friends ever in his life, so he doesn't get this Friendship thing, 2) he doesn't trust or like people very easily, and 3) at least for right now, he's nice to everyone, even people he doesn't trust or like.
And he doesn't dislike Phoenix? But he finds him somewhat exhausting, and he doesn't trust him. Persephone is slow to trust and he kind of doeesn't trust anyone on Bad End=Dead End who was in the game. He totally understands that it was a mistake, but why go right for the risky option? Why gamble on the risky option? And more importantly, why not change your mind with the messages you got back? Mistakes happen. Bad plays happen. On purpose bad plays happen, especially if you're trying to protect your unit. But that kind of reckless behavior?
So that's where he kind of is on Phoenix, and it's probably not changing any time soon. Especially because he likes Kazuebiko, and...yeah. That being said, he'll still be willing to like, get to know him and he'll still be pleasant and nice and kind.
This was Phoenix's second game ever so he's like, yikes about everything because he didn't really understand... Anything about games until now but now he's like, hm, well that fuck up has taught me a lot! And the thing is he knows deeply he's gonna have a harder time with his make every friend!! Goal, but that doesn't bother him exactly, because the goal is just to personally befriend everyone it's not a PR thing so if it takes a million years or some people just don't like him he'll be sad but not upset.
Mainly he is kind of down about how it'll be hard for people to trust him, and yet he feels he's earned that (He probably has not earned that, the main reason he went the way he did on that game was he's so new, he would have argued different tactics if he weren't so baby) and he's the type to just be like "Well I should face my mistakes head on" mostly so charging... Forward. Taking on way more responsibility from the game than he probably has any right to, but he doesn't want to seem like he's running away from taking responsibility so... He's ready to face any consequences. Friendship consequences are the worst though, but he's gonna make Persephone go on a tea date with him regardless! He may never know he's not trusted too, but he wouldn't really be shocked if he was ever told.
Like Persephone wouldn't really let him know? Like the closest he came was telling Nine-Nine after the game that were he in Taisho or Alcheme's shoes that he wouldn't forgive them. like it wouldn't be fair and he acknowledges that but he also like, loves his unitmates more than his life. (and said it in those words). And honestly Persephone's scale of liking people is kind of broken anyway. Like even if the game hadn't gone down the way it did, he still wouldn't like...trust him for a while, but that's because he's not on sensitiv. Sorry not sorry.
Poor Phoenix, though.
Tea dates would be cute. I assume Phoenix would pay for the tea? (Persephone doesn't remember yet but after he Exalted, he usually like conned dudes into buying him dinner and stuff. so what's paying for his own shit???).
Yeah he's the type to pamper others and if he's asking someone to join him naturally he should be paying?? He's pretty naturally chivalrous. And he likes tea and quiet company a lot. He likes pretty much everything honestly, he's very laid back and ready to do most activities but tea and cute company is really calming.
