Jinana thinks Kira is a fine young spoiler, even without having met him -- wait, no
SHORT VERSION: Jinana loves Argilla.
But if I left it at that you'd kill me! So:
In canon, Jinana had been very ...strong and silent, bearing up alone under her grief and her personal resolutions. One of the things I find an interesting challenge in camp is the fact that in canon, after her shell cracked she talks pretty openly about her feelings and what she's thinking about, but before that, she's close-mouthed about personal things a lot of the time -- Argilla crosses that line several times and gets her to talk about her feelings, which she does, although of course she always brings it back to business in the end. It's not that "meeting Argilla changed all her silent tendencies", but that "meeting Argilla drew out her feelings because she felt she could talk about them in a way that was understood". When she's talking about power and Argilla steps forward and asks if she's sad, it cuts through all her cover-ups of her suffering and she can

I won't say there isn't a sexual element, but it's negligable; like msot of them, she's not an overly sexual person, and is mostly relegated to the fact that physical contact with Argilla, because she loves her, is deeply enjoyable to her; it's not a visceral sexual thing but an emotionally sensual thing, if that makes sense. She touches Argilla a lot in canon (given the contexts, at least -- touching her cheek, etc); in camp she has more opportunity for casual touching, which she finds comforting and enjoyable and undemanding. "Sex" as a concept explained by various people (Brook, Roland, Kuhn) seems as though it would be an enjoyable activity to share with someone, but all the associated complexes and counterpoints and cultural addendums leave her confused and a little bit put off.
The fact she has time to just live her life... may survive from week to week and be able to live alongside Argilla, who understands her and who she loves, is a concept she still can't quite... fully understand; it's too big. She can see it and be amazed

The fact they met when Kasumi was a kid -- an older kid, to be sure, but one who seemed younger to her -- made a huge impact on how their relationship's developing. While she's viewing most of camp as potential ... man, if I say equals, it comes out wrong, but ... people who know more than her, essentially, because of the situation where just about right after introductions, he asked her to teach him something, she shifted into a mentor role, and honestly, it was something that she felt very comfortable with. I doubt she's used to teaching skills (as DDS AIs come pretty damn prepared; at one point we see Serph... fly a jet plane ok), but she is very used to being a leader, and it felt very... comfortable to take him out and teach him to fire a gun. She's aware, sort of, of an irony in that; she really likes camp, where she doesn't have to kill and where firing her own gun is largely unnecessary and where she is, in fact, no longer a leader; still, it was something very familiar in an

While Jinana doesn't know Serph well personally, she respects you a lot. It's hard to say, in canon, her overall opinion of the Embryon since time and time again she'd talk to Argilla instead of the others (which probably suited Serph and Heat fine, I imagine but XD). But she chooses an alliance with the Embryon based on Serph's decision not to eat Bat; she can trust Serph as a leader who would take care of her tribe, not turn on them
