WESKER → AL
Wesker's CR with Al is a little weird, in that Wesker really isn't used to hanging out with much younger people? He has before, but generally he doesn't spend time with the teenager contingent since the last time he did that it ended up being kind of weird and upsetting for him because the teenagers in question were taken off the network but were still either living with or spending time around people he was close to that were still there. Since then he kind of avoids them, both for age bracket reasons and because he really doesn't like the reminders of all of that.

And Al does remind him a lot of one of those kids he used to spend time with, in that he's really blunt and doesn't tend to think his issues are weird, he just asks a lot of questions about them, but he doesn't find the curiosity to be a bad thing? He still thinks he's the last person that should be offering advice to teenagers but he's...trying, anyway, just because that's one of the hazards of being on the network. But generally speaking he doesn't mind Al at all, and he wouldn't mind doing further things with him in general because he's aware that the damn kids can take care of themselves and Al isn't an exception to that.


CUMORE → AL
Cumore isn't altogether sure what to...do with Al half the time, honestly; part of that is honestly because he's a lot like Derek is in terms of temperament and personality (he's very blunt and overall self-centered and tends to be volatile, viewing things through a lens that generally centers everything around his specific views of the world and getting very frustrated when things don't work out like he thinks they should, and while he's got slightly better people skills he's got about all the self-awareness and social grace of a well-educated rock) and generally speaking there's going to be some personality clash there, and part of it is just that Cumore is kind of weirdly-socialized and as such he doesn't always understand why people talk to him about anything personal? He does this with his closer friends, too, not just Al; he just literally doesn't understand why anyone would tell him about personal things or trauma or their families or whatever, because he isn't going to care. He's super-narcissistic and has a lot of emotional problems and Is Uncomfortable When We Are Not About Him, and as a result when Al talks to him about his problems or tries to get Cumore to open up about his own, he's always just kind of internally screaming and wondering why the hell we're doing this at all because he doesn't understand.

That isn't to say he doesn't like the kid or anything, he's not opposed to him? He generally doesn't mind his presence or anything, he's just...badly-socialized with a lot of his own problems that he's not sure he wants to work through right now and as a result he's kind of awkward at everyone. So...sorry about that? Al is right, though, in that he does have problems and issues and a lot of them are centered around bizarrely sentimental or emotional things. ...That said, he isn't currently planning on acting on anything he knows about Al at the moment in terms of blackmail, but he absolutely wouldn't be above it, either, so, uh. There's that.


ARTHUR → AL
So Arthur kind of has the weird distinction of being both the most sincere and the least genuine person I have in Recollé right now - he does believe everything he says, and he's very honest about his thoughts on things, but his actions are a lot less altruistic than they seem and almost all of them come down to his personal moral code as opposed to having anything to do with actual feelings toward anyone. He assisted Al by giving him somewhere to sleep, but it wasn't because he genuinely cared about the guy and what happened to him (that first impression was not a good one, and he actively disliked Al at the moment); rather, it was through a sense of obligation. Al was obviously messed up, and he could do something about it, so he was obligated to actually do something instead of just letting the situation stand or ignoring it. He's very neutral toward most people; they have to earn respect and care from him, and Al frankly hasn't quite managed that yet. He'll continue to be kind and still do whatever he can to help him, whether it's offering physical assistance or a place to stay or just someone to talk to, because he doesn't like the idea of people suffering or going without; at the same time, he doesn't particularly care about him on an individual level, and he isn't doing it because he likes him any. Maybe that will change someday, maybe it won't; either way, it's more just because of who Arthur is as a person than anything.
