This meme looks like fun.

And god knows I can expound on inter-character relationships for hours.

So. Have at!

Name either a character or a relationship between characters (not necessarily romantic) from canons I know and/or Milliways and I will a.) give my rambling opinion of him/her/it and b.) tell you one thing I really like about him/her/it.

So. Raven and Moiraine. What to say about them. *thinks*

Raven and Moiraine's first meeting kind of sets the pattern (oh irony) of the entire run of their relationships to date. They spoke of patterns, and Patterns, and how one might control the way a world goes. Ha ha ha.

And then they didn't talk for a while. The next thing to draw Moiraine's attention was Wash's resurrection, in which Moiraine was like 'AHA, a cure for DEATH. SWEET.' Only it wasn't. And then things kept going.

I think what cemented Ravens' affection for her, beyond the fact that she is a mischievous little scamp, but also very intelligent and clever and capable, is that she kept seeing him at his worst. Over and over and over and over. And then he kept seeing her at HER worst. And it was kind of like 'well, shit, we should band together over here'. So he tried to help her--which lead to the first teaching thing--about how to hold her world together using thread.

And it would have ended there but for Blodwen--wherein Raven saw Moiraine balefire a chair when she was crazy, and he went 'oh'. So then he told her that balefire could hurt him, and he's kind of crazy, so if Blodwen drives him entirely mad, plz kill him. And she said 'okay'. So now that her hand was on the killswitch, he could kind of relax. Around her, around other people--it was nice.

And he realized she needed to have fun, and so he'd torment her, and try to get her to eat, and pulled her hair and teased her, and eventually *gasp* she teased back! And now they have their own running joke, which is 'The Wheel weaves', and then Raven makes funny noises, or is like 'yeah, whatever, crazypants'. And it's kind of cute. And he cuddles with her when she's a kid. ANYWAY.
