SO LIKE. IT IS JUST A FACT OF LIFE THAT LUKE GRAVITATES TOWARD BAD DECISIONS FOR HIS MENTORS. First Van, then Jade, now you... He also yes, totally has Stockholmes for abuser types. Noooot that Raven is abusive, but he does think Dawn is worthless (oor so Dawn assumes) and that is like a HUGE DEAL FOR DAWN but none-the-less it's one of the reasons Dawn gravitates toward Nii \=D/; yes idk boy has problems.
However, he does genuinely care for Nii, AS HE DOES. He's worried about him being upset because of Koumyou being gone. Not because he might be DANGEROUS, but simply because Raven has such a hard time with people and so to lose the one person you really feel something for sounds just fucking awful 8''(
So yes, genuine empathy for the guy WHILE BEING FULLY AWARE that Nii doesn't give a shit about him and having zero expectations for that to change.
THAT SAID. Dawn acts on... how things are and not how he assumes things are? If that makes sense? IN FACT, Nii is always nice to him, patient, helpful, he ISN'T abusive, or dangerous, and Dawn is oblivious to any notes of skeeviness. While he thinks Nii was in the WRONG to go into Acedia's heart and fuck shit up, he also knows Dawn probably did more damage, and he thinks the trouble that came out of the fiasco was more than enough 'pay back' so he holds no grudge or concerns at all. I mean like, if there is another heartgame Luke will stick with Nii so it doesn't repeat, lol. It's not a thing Luke trusts Nii with! But he's not like...mad... or worried really.
DAWN TRUSTS NII WHICH IS ALSO PRETTY LOLARIOUS but even though he knows Nii wouldn't CARE about hurting him, he also doesn't think Nii has any desire to hurt him! He would totally fight him to help relieve stress =|b And he would do it assuming that even if Nii could kick his ass he wouldn't kill or seriously mangle him. If Nii DID seriously mangle him he woudln't actually be surprised tho (cuz again, no self worth, guy who thinks he has no worth). He would be surprised if he got killed but mostly because it's a lot of trouble over nothing and Nii isn't really the type0 to initiate it.
SO BASICALLY BLUHBLUH Dawn is pretty comfortable with Nii, likes, cares for, and appreciates him, but DOESN'T think that he is in some way special or that Nii has any real fondness for him. He ranges between thinking he understands Nii kind of well and not so well, but has no deep thoughts on the matter. To him their interactions are very harmless and uncalculated and he has no real objectives beyond 'hay raven wassup'.
