>>41481276Ah, I look at Sword-kun similarly. A bashful, unassuming boy, but with undeniable proficiency in the things he does. Though, mostly importantly, a big heart! He's gentle, and polite, but not everyone will get to encounter the truest face of Sword-kun. His brightest colours.
Hop, on the other hand, is a bright-eyed lad. He's energetic, earnest, and charismatic in a manner not unlike his older brother, yet still uniquely his own. Hop's the sort of fellow that could breakdown the walls or melt the ice of anyone's heart over a period of time. And considering the long, deep bond nurtured between the two boys over many years, it is clear that this is not a simple opinion formed to solely say nice thing about him!
As for their very first meeting with one another... I'd say things went well. Marvellously, even!
