Rivet
Despite being seen together in the open at nearly every given moment, not much can be gleaned from the interactions that they hold in the public eye. Rust more often than not speaks on Rivet's behalf when it comes to in-person meetings, and the two seem to be content with the dynamic. If one were to ask directly about their relationship, Rust would simply refer to her fellow rabbit as her "business partner" and segue the conversation towards more relevant and interesting topics.

VIVI
Though she never anticipated growing so attached to the restored automaton that she and Rivet found deep underground, VIVI's childlike demeanor eventually whittled away at Rust's initial desire to keep things strictly professional. Rust treats VIVI as a star employee of Rabbit Railroad INC in the public eye, and is confident in her abilities to carry out her duties in the field with efficiency and ludicrous steam-powered speed.
