Companions react to sole being a kid

Cait:

Take no offense to it, but she is going to push you away as much as possible. Not for the reasons you may assume either, no. It's mainly because she thinks that she'll end up corrupting you.

Curie:

Oh hell no.

Despite her better judgement, Curie would automatically go into over protective mode. She won't want you to leave the vault, she won't want you to fight..none of it. What if you go out and get overwhelmed by radiation? She wouldn't ever be able to live with herself. Please, just let her make sure you're safe.

Danse:

He's completely horrified. Here you are, some small child tearing through a whole ghoul horde..saving him and the remaining bit of his squad. Of course, his natural instinct is to find a way to hold you in the police station- seeing potential in you, he'll try to stall you long enough until the Prydwen gains entry into the Commonwealth. He won't force you to stay or go, but if you decide to stay with him and the Brotherhood, count on Danse to assume the role of your mentor as soon as possible. The main reason he wants to get you up into the Prydwen as soon as possible is because he feels like you will be safest there. Sure, you've managed to tear through all the ghouls and other things but...he wouldn't be able to live with himself if you went out into the wastes and never came back.

Deacon:

To those of you that watch Game of Thrones, remember Arya and Jaqen H'ghar's relationship? It's going to be like that. You're obviously capable and he knows better than to underestimate you- plus you make for the perfect spy. No one suspects a child. No one.

Gage:

I hope you don't expect him to be any nicer to you just because your a kid. He honestly might be a little meaner to you because of it- however if you just so happen to be able to defeat Colter..then you would've rightfully deserved his respect and the title of Overboss. As such, despite the protest of many other raiders, he'll bestow the title to you and serve as your right-hand man. Much quicker than he'd like to admit, he'll end up growing a soft spot for you- always getting way too over protective and even sometimes resorting to violent measures when your livelihood is threatened.

Hancock:

Probably should've wrote something a little more serious but...Hancock is going to automatically assume the role of Crazy Crackhead Ghoul Uncle.

Macready:

What in the heck happened? Okay, being a badass from a younger age himself- Mac knows better than to underestimate you. However that won't stop him from being a dick to you when you first approach him in The Third Rail, but so long as you keep messing with him and bring the proper amount of caps- he'll humor you and serve as your body guard. The more he warms up to you, the more he finds himself having the urge to call it all quits and send you to the Capital Wastes to be safe with his own child. Sometimes you'll even catch him holding that weird figurine Lucy made him, asking the little soldier just what he was supposed to do...as though he was waiting for the dead creator to answer him.

Maxson:

This had to be some kind of joke, right? Surely Paladin Danse was just screwing with him. No? Well..so be it. Maxson will mull it over for a long time, looking over all those long reports Danse sent in describing this bad ass wastlelander- how could this happen? Eventually he reaches a very tough decision. After observing you for long enough, Arthur decided to make you his personal squire, grooming you to be the very best soldier he could. He sees a little bit of himself in you and it makes him almost sad, however he'll take that feeling and channel it into your training. So instead of getting Ingram to make the world's smallest suit of armour, he'll take you in as his own. Catch you becoming the youngest Paladin at age 15. Who knows? Maybe if he ends up not having any children, you'll be the successor to the Maxson title.

Nick:

He feels so bad for you. No child should've ever had to go through what you had. He'll be starkly against you going out and causing trouble with all the dangers of the wasteland, trying his damndest to subtly steer you away from harm's way. If he doesn't stop himself, he'll probably end up assuming a fatherly role in your life.

Old Longfellow:

He gets such a kick out of you. How in the world did a little kid learn how to survive like that? Better yet, how were you so hardy? Eh, he supposed it didn't matter- all that matters is your ability to hold your own. Well...that being said, he'll probably end up glued to your side- wanting to be sure you don't end up becoming fog-crawler chow. He'll probably give you your first beer too.

Piper:

Every time she looks at you, she sees her own little sister. That being said, Piper will try her best not to get in your business too much, however if your ever needed a place to stay- she'll gladly introduce you to Nat and offer you a spot in her own home. She easily becomes attached to you to, those "big sister" instincts taking over.

Preston:

He's shocked, to say the very least. Here you are, some fresh faced kid- and yet you were able to single handedly tear through raiders and a whole ass deathclaw, something he wasn't able to do. He's taken aback, but he respects you. Regardless of so, he much rather convince you to join his little family and roast squirrel on a campfire instead of going to hunt ghouls.

X6-88:

His whole outlook on wouldn't change very much to be honest. He's a very "prove yourself and I'll see what I think" kind of man, so as long as you can demonstrate your survival capabilities- X6 feels nothing.
