THIS IS GOING TO BE BY FAR THE LONGEST RESPONSE ON THIS POST :|a (unless someone asks for SOTU, but I've already got that one typed up on notepad, SO HA.)
The short version of Albert on Dera is: HE LOVES HIM ... BUT IT'S COMPLICATED.
Dera and Albert are similar in age and in short tempers :|a. Sooo with the way they interact, Dera was pretty much always on the fast train to "best friend/practically siblings" territory. Which is pretty much THE WORST position to be in from a leader standpoint, because that position is the one that gets the most crap from Albert 8D. What I mean is, Albert LIKES DERA A LOT!!!1 ... but he doesn't necessarily respect his opinion all the time and isn't afraid to talk back to him :|a. In Sabra this is ... nnnot such a great idea, obvs 8D. He thinks Dera is crazyyyy paranoidddd.
Albert isn't even sure what he likes so much about Dera! IT'S JUST A FEELING!! Albert has a lot of those (often they are wrong but in this case they are aren't). He was the first person he met when he woke up and he was so excited to see Albert, so there is that "FIRST BOND!!!" attachment, as well as a fondness for the "Person who stayed up all night worrying over me and took care of me." He's had enough conversations with him by now to KNOW that Scowl is a really good person, but he doesn't fundamentally get why he's so tsundere about it. He doesn't understand what his hang up is \o/! You're a nice person, why not show it?! Why do you have to be so goddamn tough about everything?! He tries to be nice or concerned and it gets thrown back in his face 8D! To Albert that's pretty much akin to the worst kind of rudeness, and Dera is great at rude, so of course he reverts to FIVE YEAR OLD CHILD around Dera easily. He'll also forgive him easily in ten minutes time! But yeah.
Basically, it is a bit of a love/hate relationship from Albert's end with an extra dose of CONFUSION thrown in there too. WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO CONFUSING BRO.
... Am I allowed to ask for Dera on Albert considering you pretty much addressed it in your SOTU?
