DERA IS STILL ALLEN'S FAVORITE RUBY! He actually is pretty wary/not too fond of the team as a whole, but--like I said to Mau above, Dera is someone he trusts to get it when he says "so yeah, DEALING WITH PEOPLE IS TOUGH." Onnnn the other hand--yeah he doesn't super trust Ruby and he knows that some of those people he doesn't like are ones that Dera really does! So he tries to be as tactful about it as he can, out of respect for Dera's feelings. He doesn't want to alienate Dera because FRIEND! but he's also kind of like :|a how does I handle me not liking your team and you not liking one of my most important people, hrrrrrrrrrr. IT IS HIS DILEMMA.

Yayoi is That Girl On Turquoise, mostly. He's ambivalent to neutral on her, because most of the cool stuff she did in the heart game ... happened when he wasn't around, haha. XD At the very least he has no bad impressions of her--and he feels more kinship with Turquoise in terms of being blue teams and underdogs that dragged themselves out of the mud etc etc. So he would talk to her again if he saw her! And he'd try to behave! And apologize if he failed at it. :|a

REVERSE ME, easiest question *D
