i am complete rutgerdieck trash, but besides that, i am in general endeared to the support square that is dieck-rutger-clarine-klein, and the entire concept of clarine and klein dragging home their respective scruffy mercenaries.

also, i get a great deal of joy out of the mental image of an exasperated rutger letting clarine play with his hair to try and find out which style "suits his surprisingly noble face".
