Friends

_{A wise man
makes his own decisions,
an ignorant man
follows public opinion}[/right][/b]

Gan's friends are those that can count on him for anything. He is willing to go out of his way to give aid to anyone. He has no limits to protect someone. He'd even kill for them. He is willing to go to any lengths to ensure their safety and happiness. He is fiercely loyal to them and he will stay true to them.

His close friends can even expect to get some of his own personal tea, and even a Pai Sho game or two.

Enemies
_{He who seeks vengeance
must dig two graves:
one for his enemy
and one for himself}

Gan's hate for his enemies is understandable. The Poison Rose took the life he grew up learning and devoting his life to. Any personal enemies that run across Gan are almost none existent, however. If you fight for or support the Poison Rose then you are an enemy of his.

Now Gan might have a few Rivals, but its put to the side when the true enemy shows up. He probably won't waste his time or energy trying to settle differences with someone that he sees no peace time with. He'd rather make tea and play Pai Sho then waste time trying to befriend someone that hates him. He'll discuss your relationship over Pai Sho though.

Loves
_{The palest ink
is better than
the sharpest memory}

Those few girls that Gan might consider becoming a girlfriend of his should be considered lucky. He talks with some light flirting, but the ones he wants to be with he almost never speak around. He is very respectful of women and tries his best to keep them happy and safe. He does tend to be extremely protective and he will do anything to keep a girl. He does have some reservations though, he may be a Pirate but he has sworn to himself to never take advantage of a woman. he has even considered saving all acts past kissing until he is married, as his father had previously done.

Ying, a master Airbender, would be happy to meet with him and play a game of Pai Sho. She's young, kind, and rather uneducated in the ways of non-nomadic people.

Rei Nagato- She wishes to control her airbending and sees firebending technique as a way to help her with this. Perhaps Gan could be the one to teach her? She'd probably annoy him a little at first due to her lack of focus, but I could see them as potential friends.
