Seriously though; Ochre sees Ed as something of a mentor figure. He's been around as long as Tiamt has, he knows pretty much everything, and he's generally willing to share what he knows. Ochre might not always take him up on the offer, but it's cool knowing that there's someone there to infodump at the drop of a hat.
Similarly, Ochre pretty much trusts Ed implicitly- he knows that Ed's looking out for Tiamat as a whole, and is hella smarter than him, so even if he might give Ed shit over it, he'll go along with a hell of a lot, which should make certain games- interesting. Granted, that goes for pretty much all of Tiamat right now, but still. If asked who he thought the 'leader' of Tiamat is, right now, he'd probably say Ed and Clover.
One of the things I was hoping for when jumping in was to get a team that felt like the IT from Ochre's canon- and I really think that I got super lucky in the draw here. With Tiamat as a whole, Ochre feels like he's part of a team, and feels like it's part of his 'job' to stand up for the others- including Ed, who he keeps forgetting is a Super Powerful Mage, mostly because of the tiny.

Basically, Ed is senpai. Good luck with that.
Reverse?
