That would make sense. Ambrose's mother probably hosted a small fundraiser or awareness banquet and managed to rope in the founding families that wished to come. There was an unspoken rivalry there. Ambrose and Damon would have definitely run into each other, but the rivalry doesn't transfer over to their children. Just like "oh hey, a kid my age and generally close to my status... neat."

Maybe they have that sort of friendship that has verbal jabs. To give up the appearance that the families don't really care for each other, but it's all in good fun.

Yup, sounds good.

Prefacing this, Toby is the kind of character who when approached first by anyone for any reason, will probably be pretty clingy and attached. Very, very low standards in terms of relationships and friendships for her. So any one of the other characters could conceivably become a very close friend to her quite easily.


[@SilverPaw]: Toby would definitely find Damon interesting and be generally friendly towards him, though I don’t think they would be friends right off the bat, unless he made the first move. She’d relate strongly to his desire to be liked and appreciated.

Well, he'd definitely reciprocate friendliness. Maybe he'd be kinda like 'oh, you're my fan?' and try to show off (possibly just to annoy her cousin Audrey at first, haha), and maybe something more could develop from that eventually (which we can leave for the IC).

Aaand now for those I've not yet got to previously.

[@Teyao] They could have done a thing here or there together. Possibly a 'yup, can be fun to do things with him' relationship.

[@King Cosmos] Would relate to her ambition for sure. Also, obligatory social media buds. Might invite himself alongside on her and Will's adventures when the mood strikes.

[@Cassette] At the very least, he would have got acquainted with Elias to spite his father (who's recently fairly averse to outsiders in general). Pretty sure he'd be (secretly) jealous of Elias' relationship with [i]his[/i] father, though, so he'd likely keep a bit of the metaphorical distance.

[@webboysurf] I think they could relate re wanting to see, visit, be other places than this town, and also because each of them has a dream/passion they wanna pursue (even when they’re so different). And if they got along well enough, Damon would be willing to act as the occasional ‘social awareness’ check for him.

If anyone's got alternate/additional suggestions or w/e, feel free to mention 'em. Also, hope I didn't somehow miss anyone.
