The Marco/Tobias relationship in the books

[nostalgichild.livejournal.com]

Recently I've been thinking about those two.
Their relationship was a bit underdevelopled, wasn't it? They did have some funny scenes together, but did they have serious moments together too? I can't quite figure out what to make of their relationship. Did they see each other merely as comrade-in-arms or would you say they did become real friends over time?

And do you have any favourite Marco/Tobias moments?

One of my favs is in The Absolute when they steal the tank together. That was hilarious. So, yeah, that was funny, but not really deep. Why can't I remember any deep and serious moments between those two?

Oh god, the tank! The tank! You know he talked about that on the Daily Show or something while promoting his book. (The really sad thing is it's totally not the worst thing that ever happened to Melissa Chapman courtesy of the Animorphs.)

Actually, "Marco's Daily Show interview" would be an awesome fanfic...

I feel like Marco and Tobias' relationship would've been weird after the war anyway, just because Ax left, and I feel like each was closer to Ax than to each other, and that they were used to functioning as a trio.
