Aww, Remi! He'd have been so proud of her for coming out and being more comfortable with herself. :''') So YEAH, definitely met through Lyra, definitely friends now.
I am very much looking forward to him meeting Calliope and Thomas! He'll be pretty ~high five~ about growing up in DC, though in vastly different worlds, lol.
I agree about Dottie, too! They are officially bros.
He is happy to have everyone and anyone come into the shop. :3 Depending on how regular they are, I'm sure he knows their name and is chatty with them whenever it's slower and he has the chance to.
