I think the only reason Knightley managed to survive Yomiel's Friendship of Death was that it was a slow burning friendship. :V He never disliked Knightley or anything, but for the first couple of days, it was like, yeah he'd be bummed if Knightley bit it, because that guy's smart and he's been a good ally, but he wouldn't... do the Yomiel thing over it.

And honestly, like I said to Excel up there, he spent most of Day 1 thinking Simon and Knightley were probably Communists because they were the only pair he knew of that definitely already knew each other. There are a few comments in the Day 1 strategy meeting that I was cackling as I wrote because they're basically Yomiel giving deliberately misleading advice and secretly feeling oh-so-clever for it. The Communists should investigate people with relevant skills (that I don't have)! They should keep an eye on people who don't speak up much in trials (because I'm going to be yelling my stupid head off)! The fact that he was totally wrong about Knightley being a commie just makes it even more hilarious to me.

(He totally stole Knightley's idea of the Loyalty Officer using a messenger, though, thanks for that unwitting advice, buddy. Before that, the FunFood thing was seriously his best idea and he really didn't want to have to resort to that.)

After the first trial, he was pretty sure Knightley and Simon were clear, though, so Day 2 was mostly, like I said for Simon, "those guys are pretty alright, I hope they get out of this okay." No hard feelings for yanking him off Clay, even! All hard feelings regarding that are exclusively reserved for Clay. And the vaguely positive feelings just kept building up into genuine fondness as they went through Day 2 and Day 3 and as Yomiel's character development kept on backsliding, and by the end of Day 3, Yomiel was basically like "OK if this plan fails and I die tonight, I'll actually be pretty okay with that, I think Simon and Knightley'll be able to handle it just fine without me."

AND THEN SIMON DIED INSTEAD. Yomiel felt just awful about that, as he do, and honestly kind of surprised that Knightley did not, in fact, break his arms for it. Also kind of disappointed, to be honest. Because Yomiel. But once they cleared the air on that, it was basically, like, they were fully united in Being Completely Done With This Shit. Never before in his life or afterlife has Yomiel been so thoroughly on the same page as someone. They're mad tight, basically.

And the conversation they had in the final trial about what they had to go back to kind of really hammered it home for him that he wasn't just hanging around Knightley so much because he was the only person left with a brain worth a damn, but that he really was genuinely fond of the guy, so y'know. Extra kick in the pants there, learning that Knightley was boned anyway.

Mukuro gave Yomiel a gun in the final aftermath, and chances are pretty good that he handed it off to Knightley, though, 'cuz, hey, couldn't hurt to try, right?

Also probably inevitable that he'll start calling him Horace eventually.
