Hey y'all, I just thought I would leave y'all with Val's relationship sheet. Let me know via PM if any ideas pop in your head or if you'd like to go a different way with things, but otherwise, this is what I'm rolling with:

[hider=Relationships]
[b]Samantha "Sam" Igorina Semenova:[/b] Val knows Sam as the daughter of Professor Semenov and he's definitely bought furniture from J. W. Stewards' when he moved out of the dorms, so Val has run into her more than a few times. They're not well acquainted beyond that and the occasional chitchat, but he thinks her aesthetic is cool, despite her intense aura.

[b]Tobias Malkinson:[/b] Tobias and Val are coworkers at Phil's Coffeehouse, with Val coming to work there about a year after Tobias had started. Val appreciates Tobias' friendliness and work ethic, but he does feel Tobias leans uncomfortably too much into the people-pleasing. He tries not to smoke when Tobias is around and occasionally probes Tobias about his writing. Val doesn't know that much about Tobias' family apart from the fact that Tobias has a sister, and he doesn't ask out of respect.

[b]Aoife Fitzgerald:[/b] Aoife was the TA for an elective course at Sanctuary Hills University in which Valeriano was a student. He doubts he stood out much as there were certainly more brilliant students in the class, although he always made sure to ask good questions occasionally and visit during office hours.

[b]Rose Blossomdew:[/b] Val doesn't know Rose on a personal level, although he knows of her - she does come from one of the most widely known fairy bloodlines, after all. He is expectedly apprehensive about her family's business dealings, but he wouldn't hold that apprehension against her.

[b]Georgia Patricia Keen V:[/b] Georgia is Val's preferred mechanic. Since he drives a beat-up, navy-blue 1979 Dodge D/W and there are some repairs better left for a professional, they naturally see each other regularly. He might lend a hand if Georgia asks for one, but otherwise Val will play Georgia a few songs, originals or covers, while she works her magic. He'll sometimes bring her a free coffee, or he'll use his employee discount when she stops by the coffeeshop. As such, they're well-acquainted friends, who occasionally hang out.
