Mau likes and cares deeply for every member of Sapphire; his feelings on the team are "well we have to live with each other and cooperate, so we'd better do our best to all get along with and support each other regardless of personal feelings" and "I'm responsible for them -- not as a leader, but just, whenever someone new shows up on Sapphire, it would be wrong for me not to try to take care of them and get them settled and be a resource." He feels very lucky that he DOES actually like everyone on Sapphire, but Mau isn't someone who actually... has to like or get along with someone... to care about them sincerely...
...anyway on paper it sounds very pragmatic and kind of cold but the thing is that Mau backs up all his pragmatic, sensible ideas with fierce emotional intensity so. "Well we'd better get along" actually ends up translating to "we WILL stand by each other BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING ELSE ACCEPTABLE THAT WE CAN DO." At the same time, he thinks that the way they're forcibly split into teams is asshattery and he thinks it's the height of stupidity when there is ever TEAM VS TEAM conflict outside of games. He looks for ways to change and subvert this all the time, but he doesn't really get... offended or shirty... about the EXISTENCE of teams on a day-to-day basis because what is the point that is a waste of his energy :|b But although he thinks the construct is stupid, it still exists and is something that currently needs to be contended with, so he doesn't try to ignore it, and as long as it's there, he'll try to work within it the best way possible for the people around him on a daily basis.
He's a practical man who wants to take care of everyone ever THESE ARE SORT OF HARD THINGS TO RECONCILE but that's what his Sapphire feels are based in as well. And there's a lot of dere but none of it is based in Sapphire-as-team but in oh-gosh-these-individuals.
Yes.
