ISAIAH IS CUTE.

Uh, so, I'll get Reid out of the way first, but I think between Reid being socially inept and Isaiah being so introverted, they probably don't interact much. If at all. :(

Diego knows him from choir, music and a few classes, though! And, well, Diego needs everyone to love him, so... either Isaiah is already his friend, or Diego has been trying to MAKE him be his friend for the last three years. He'll shower him with attention, try to get him to open up, drag him to social events if he can, suggest musical collaborations, etc. etc. etc. Completely your call on whether Isaiah likes Diego, or wishes he would go get lost in the woods somewhere.

Calvin is, of course, a fellow Ribbonfin, and he also has a crush on Isaiah's roommate, Ravi. So sometimes he comes by the Ribbonfin senior boys' dorm asking for help on homework he doesn't actually need help with. He's probably flustered around Isaiah sometimes, too, because... I mean, look at him. Calvin's in choir with him, and like Isaiah, he's a big huge nerd who studies all the time.

RIGHT?

Yeah I'm gonna guess you're on the money there. Oops.

LOL actually it's probably a bit of both. I feel like Isaiah probably WANTS people to like him and want to spend time with him, he just has NO IDEA what to do with it when it happens, and also he gets drained by social interaction quickly rather than recharged by it, so he's like..whyyyy does this guy keep dragging me places but also don't stop but also STOP ahh. The music thing is a good bridge, though I feel like they probably have very different taste (Isaiah is more of a classical/orchestral guy, it's the technique that he's interested in, and pop music bores him completely and rock/indie/whatever is only sometimes interesting and he couldn't actually care about vocals much less,) BUT he's probably more open to Diego because of that than he would usually be to people.

Aww, Calvin. Isaiah is usually always lowkey flustered around everyone so he might not even notice? Though he is probably sometimes like ...why is this kid in my bedroom we do not need more people in my bedroom there are already five people here GO AWAY. BUT ONLY IN HIS HEAD.

...apparently I have a lot of Introvert Feels, I wonder why.

Reid's going to be a challenge for me, I'm going to be saying "THEY MIGHT NEVER TALK...." a lot.

Awwww, Isaiah! Diego is very attuned to when people are unhappy, but he's not great about knowing what to do with that? So he'll know Isaiah is some kind of displeased, and smother him with attention and charm to try and turn it around. AS FOR MUSIC, PARDON MY BABBLING, their tastes will be... moderately different, but actually not tooooo much? He's kind of modernized for a pureblood, but actually isn't as hip with the times as he acts. He's not in touch with top 40 pop. Diego's comfort level with technology is that of someone's 60 year old uncle who just thinks facebook is the neatest. Diego started on classical guitar, and he dislikes any music that doesn't sound organic enough, which is why he's attached himself to folk and all its subsets. He does love music with vocals, though, and he's ~a singer~. He's currently learning the cello, so maybe he can bug Isaiah for help with that!

SORRY ISAIAH Calvin thinks he's being smooth.

I 110% sympathize with poor Isaiah. I'm playing two big loud extroverts that are going to bug him all the time, though.

	Sigh. We will fight this demon together. Isaiah will actually be happy to help him with cello, I think. Play to his strengths, Diego! LOL he is not. Sorry, Calvin, you are not. Hey, man. I love to torture my characters, so. (Reply to this) (Parent)
