Oh?
Ohoho?
(I figured I'd like Rick since the first thing the show did was smear the side of a racetrack with him and boy oh boy I have not been disappointed so far.)
(Good men know to suffer prettily for my entertainment.)

Date: 2/11/19 16:04 (UTC)Rick honestly just radiates such chaos-in-equillibrium energy that I'm not at all surprised Rick (who has huge massive control issues) and Eva (who is emotionally stagnant and blocked) find his presence sort of calming for all it is aggravating. He can do something that neither of them can, and that is have a peace of mind about his circumstances :'DD

Date: 2/11/19 16:52 (UTC)Rick, meanwhile? He's heartbroken when his life-long dream is cut short, of course, but he recovers relatively quickly, because he knows how to accept his circumstances, what can't be changed about them and what still is in his power to influence (help Eva, find out who sabotaged his racing ship). He's fundamentally at peace with himself, in a way neither of the two Weis come even close to being and they're both fascinated by this and find him a good source of solace and support (even when he's driving them up the wall).
