Re: LINES: Scott

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Scott's the sort of uptight/socially awkward that Manuel can't help but want to mess with or try nudge out of his comfort zone. It's all in good fun, honest. That said, he'll ultimately follow Emma's lead when it comes to Scott most of the time. Are we dragging him somewhere to broaden his horizons? Are we making nice because of Emma's crush? Are we teasing him about Madelyne? Whatever, he's down.

Despite their (many) differences, they're both control freaks because of the lack of control they have over their powers and they're both driven by a need to prove their value, so I think he feels some sort of reluctant kinship with Scott. :| But he doesn't know what to do with that.

i think Scott was very wary of Manuel in the beginning, because having emotion manipulation is terrifying to someone who keeps himself so locked down, and it probably took some time before Scott was able to look past the teasing and charming front to understand that they have similar struggles :(

Scott is still extremely repressed lol but he has a bit of affection for Manuel since Emma is so fond of him. as Xavier is a believer in Manny's better nature, Scott is the boy scout who also insists Manny is capable of doing good in the world

Hey, Scott? Valid. Manuel is accustomed to people being put off by his powers, so this wasn't anything new for him and it certainly didn't keep him out of Scott's orbit. And maybe they'll have occasion to commiserate about their shared difficulties at some point~

Scott insisting that he's capable of doing good mostly prompts Manuel to roll his eyes...but every now and again...it hits and he gets that bad WWXD? moment. And he hates that. How dare you have faith in him. Just let him live. 😩
