LYNN: Fortitude Greengrass
Oooh I feel like he would like Alfred, as much as he actively likes anyone? Maybe potential for them to meet through Pablo when Alfred comes home next! And yes Aunt Clara, Vanity will come back to visit often and probably when she needs advice in a crisis <3

KIT: Clarissa Cosgrove
YES Tiger. I'm picturing longstanding acquaintances / "work" friends where Howell probably just nods and says two words to him, but in his head they're best friends. Also if Pablo would like to visit the Glen for magizoology reasons, feel freeeeee.
I would also love Ava/Vanity things, agreed on super close. Re: Vanity schoolmates, her muse was most about Aristide of the boys, and I think she could have been friendly with Aleksei maybe? I feel like they have ~calm energy and seem like a good listener so she could chat about girl problems & governess problems without fear of judgement?? Also would have liked Darling!

BEE: @"Daffodil Potts"
Yes I expect he comes across Eugene every once in a while in the Beast division. He also has an interest in crups so might need licences for that kinda stuff. Plus the dragons, obviously.
Yes to Eva and LOL Sloane is always welcome to intern (he says no, but if he can deal with Gwyn he can deal with Sloane) xD
"needing cheese for weird reasons" made me giggle, but also now I want that thread.

GIN: Gus Lissington
Well whenever Delilah wants dragon dung fertiliser, he's gotchu girl. Also potions supplies. And omg Gus <3 Disaster waiting to happen, Howell has no patience for getting people out scrapes when they're of their depths with dragons. xD
And baha yes Vanity would be intimidated by June, but she might be nosy about Reg. Her sister works for the DP as well so there might be room to meet through that!

FALLIN: Sisse Thompsett
I will start a thread for Malou! <3
Vanity would probably like Dahlia and Ani both, they both seem suitably sweet and proper so, yes please friendly xD
I am into hurling at Somersby, aaaand I would love her to meet Felix through the Prewetts... she will either have an awkward crush or want to set him up with her sister/his coworker Malice rofl.

LADY: Faustus Prewett
I can also start a thread for Faustus! <3
See comments above: re anyone who works at the Prophet, so yes I will also want Mal threads in my life. Vanity will be the anxious rule-follower to your troublemaker xD
Howell says Tilda is acceptable, so I guess that's high praise. I'm sure he's rocked up to creature-induced injuries once or twice in his time.
Adrienne is welcome to smalltalk even if Howell says nothing back, and I could see him developing an eccentric friendship with Irene if she's persistently friendly enough. <3#

LDYPAYNE: Walter Staghart
Steliana and Howell could definitely discuss dragon-related COMC lesson things!!
Mentioned in Wrath's networking too but yesss they were fellow Hufflepuffs so I'd love sisterly things.
I think Vanity's a little too snobby to go for anyone working class, but she might try and set him up with a sister haha. Howell is around his age though if they met for any reasons, so miiiight potentially become friends?
