Yesh, I still like this quite a bit. Lovely awkward beginnings to a lovely friendship- even if Haplo refuses to see it that way for now. XD

Aw, you've got to love those two. I can see this happening-Alfred is a lot less stubborn than Haplo when it comes to more positive emotions like love and friendship. Haplo... well, he learns. Eventually. After several near-death experiences and almost becoming a zombie a couple times. And then the relationship between those two gets so much better for both of them.
