I'll be the calm
I will be quiet
Hotaru is very little like Maggie, despite their close and long-lasting friendship. Firefly is in fact the other boy's polar opposite in many ways. Where Maggie is quick to anger Hotaru is slow; where Maggie throws himself recklessly into fights Hotaru prefers to take his opponents apart methodically. Hotaru seems to never be in a hurry, despite Maggie's heckling, and he never needs to actually raise his voice; the majority of the gang is unusually frightened of him, and jump to do what he says without hesitation. Hotaru has proven that he has good 'intuition', and the gang trusts his feelings now. Maggie affectionately calls Firefly their little sibyl, which Firefly mostly ignores. He can't really explain it; he simply knows sometimes that going down that alley is absolutely the wrong way, or that they shouldn't target that stranger on the corner just because. He is widely listened to now, and has kept the gang out of a number of sticky situations. It is through this that he earned his place at Maggie's side. Hotaru is actually a witch, but since he doesn't remember his family he doesn't fully recognize this. His magic is wild because he never received a familiar, and so it bleeds through in waking visions and dreams.
Firefly was mildly perplexed by Vassilios when he first arrived, and by extension Maggie's obsession with him, but he recognized Vas far faster than even Maggie had expected and realized what his friend was trying to do. Maggie will vehemently deny that he has any soft spots to his heart at all; but he's a sucker for someone in trouble, and he's taken Vas quite firmly under his wing. Firefly has been roped into this as well, by merit of being Maggie's closest confidant. He's become closer with Vas over the boy's stay with the gang, and has gotten used to having one or the other at his side or back. He's got a way of knowing who is approaching him without seeing them, and can startle the kids sometimes by saying unceremoniously a great secret or great prophecy. Vasillios is mystified by him, and how he knows the things that he does. Hotaru does not have a satisfying answer, and seems not at all curious in figuring out how he does what he does. He has a habit of running his fingers through his hair when he's thinking, or divvying it into great, thick braids. Since joining the gang, Vassilios has learned to braid too. It is only him or Maggie that can touch Hotaru's hair; he gets antsy if it's anybody else, even kids that have been in the gang for a long time.

I lie awake and watch it all
it feels like thousand eyes
