So I'm almost done with chapter 4 of the underground crypt fic, and I'm starting to hit one of the parts I've been concerned about. The cruel rumors about Ahiru and Autor having conspired to push Fakir are flying all the more furiously. The students are relishing the gossip. Of course, Lilie is hoping for a tragedy.
And here is my confusion: I'm not entirely sure how to portray Pike. I do not like her much at all (I can only say I like her more than Lilie, but that's not saying much), however, I don't want to portray her incorrectly. I've been trying to study her dialogue as I rewatch the episodes. Right now I have it that she's concerned about Ahiru and isn't quite sure what to believe on some of the gossip. She scolds Ahiru for "deserting" Fakir, but then consents maybe that was a bit harsh. She adds that it does look bad for Ahiru to walk to school with Autor, when Autor has been accused of pushing and injuring Fakir.
(I have to admit, I have it that Pike doesn't like Autor much partially in defiance of all the Pike/Autor fics out there. XD; It's probably my least favorite pairing the fans have come up with. But I really do kind of doubt that Pike would like Autor, unless maybe she got to know him more. She seems more like someone who likes the popular boys. And she wants teen idols to be "a little more approachable", which Autor is certainly not. LOL. That's not to say that she couldn't come to like Autor, or he her, but I digress.)
Another thing I'm wondering about for a bit later still: when the students are largely ostracizing Ahiru for continuing to support Autor and be his friend, I'm wondering where Pike and Lilie will stand. I realize they *usually* try to get Ahiru out of trouble, but there have been a couple of times when they just abandoned her (episode 5, episode 18) because they did not want to deal with a particular situation. So I've been trying to determine whether this mess would be one of those situations or not.
