#//THAT part enamoured me more than his pretty words ngl

[intcrastra]

Argenti most definitely has NOT had any relationship experience whatsoever, but he would still absolutely strive to be SUPER attentive to his partners and utterly Adore them, the likes of which only Gomez Addams would be able to match

A   :   AFFECTION.   how does your muse show affection?

Pascal will show his affection through his words mostly, usually by a nickname or saying something that teases someone. One of the biggest signs that Pascal is being affectionate is how he will actively look out for your fate and he'll stop mentioning things that might affect you and will possibly try to make/prevent it happening.

He wants the people he cares about to be safe and Pascal is fully willing to go through any means for it.

B   :   BOUQUET.   does your muse like flowers? which ones are their favourite?

Pascal's mutual to them. He knows they're pretty and they're meant to be romantic but he's already seen a blurry version of them and they don't do much. He probably wouldn't even notice if he got the flowers to be honest. He likes tulips since they're simple and used to grow around the church.

C   :   CHOCOLATE.   does your muse like chocolate? which one is their favourite?

Again, it's a fifty fifty because Pascal likes chocolate, but it melts in his mouth much quicker than it does for anyone else so he has to chew like a rabid dog when he has some. He likes macaroons and other cookie based desserts though, mostly because he's gotten into the habit of rabid chewing whenever he eats sweet stuff.

D   :   DATE.   what is your muse’s ideal date? where / who with / etc?

Pascal is much more happier to go to places that his partner wants so he'll happily let Rhys drag him wherever he wants. He just wants to go somewhere that Rhys will have a fun but I imagine that once Rhys finds out where Pascal works then a lot of their dates will be Rhys dragging Pascal so he can play with the dogs. It's not that uncommon now to see Rhys with the dogs and Pascal plans aggressively to let Rhys see the new puppies at some point as a surpise (100% this is probably how he asks Rhys out for a date).

E   :   EMBRACE.   does your muse like hugs? what are their hugs like?

He's a great hugger because Pascal is warm at all times and soft despite the dog muscles he has. He adores pulling Rhys into a slow cuddle being being able to smell the vanilla and feeling Rhys's own warmth as he gently squeezes. Pascal is that loser who yawns and drags Rhys down into a hug in bed and pretends to pass out with his arms conveniently trapping Rhys.

But yeah, VERY warm hugs and Pascal is happy to be Rhys's hot water bottle.

F   :   FLIRT.   is your muse good at flirting? how do they flirt?

Pascal can be good at flirting due to the fact that he KNOWS all the right things to say and he has the advantage of knowing exactly what can get Rhys really flustered. The weird part? He chooses not to. He's awful at flirting on purpose because he wants Rhys to love a loser rather than love someone who can tell him all the right things in life. He wants something messy and free rather than simple validation. Pascal wants Rhys to sigh at a shitty pick up line and then see if he still wants Pascal instead of lines made out of bitter honey.

A soft part of me is aching at Rhys's finding out that Pascal was shitty at flirting on purpose because he wanted Rhys to fall in love with something that was honest rather than the simple adoration everyone else had.

G   :   GIFT.   is your muse good at gift - giving or do they struggle to get it right?

A man who can see and know exactly what you want? Pascal's great at it. He knows when things that he wants will be in stock and knows the reactions Rhys will have to something and how it'll pan out. Often he'll leave a gift for Rhys somewhere obvious before leaving for work as a nice surprise.

I    :   I LOVE YOU.   does your muse find ‘i love you’ easy or hard to say?

Technically Pascal finds it easy because he knows how Rhys will react and knows that he will get his affection returned. But it doesn't stop the intensity of what he wants to say or how it feels doing it. Everyone he loved had terribly ending fates and sometimes Pascal wonders whether he was the cause of their deaths and misery (I mean, he was). It weighs down on him and Pascal probably puts off telling Rhys he loves him for a while because of this.

J   :   JEALOUSY.   does your muse get jealous in a relationship?

A bit. Pascal knows that Rhys is utterly devoted (nothing like Pascal's real devotees thankfully) and has enough sense to know that cheating on a seer is a very terrible idea, but that still doesn't stop the small flicks of jealously if one of his work colleagues makes Rhys laugh or if someone hits on him. If Pascal wakes up grumpy and clingy? Then Rhys eventually starts to get the gist of these moods when they date long enough.

K   :   KISS.   is your muse a good kisser? why / why not? 

Pascal is because like the flirting, he knows exactly what Rhys wants and unlike the flirting (thank God) he doesn't feel the need to act like he's shitty at it. Pascal knows what will make you feel good and he's often eager to do so as well as his mouth always being warm

L   :   LOVE.   who does your muse love?

He loves Rhys! Rhys is beautiful and funny and makes Pascal feel like the most normal man in the world. Pascal adores it when Rhys whines for his warmth and will often look chances to just....hold Rhys's hand and tell him how amazing he is.

He also adores Korra and Zuko because they help him so much and how can a man not adore his kids??? Its his favourite thing to walk about with Korra and feel her brushing against him lovingly or to feel Zuko meowing and thr brush of his little sweaters as his sweet little rotisserie lays on his back.

Pascal still loves his sister and feels awful for never telling Rhys anything about Cass. And a part of him still loved his mother, even though she did shitty stuff like sold Cassandra to a reflective eyed woman and did nothing but use her son for prophesies.

N   :   NAUGHTY.   what is your muse like in bed?

Pascal knows all of your sweet spots immediately and depending on who he's with, that could mean he's rather gentle or very teasing. Though things like first times mean that Pascal will definitely be gentle and kind. He like taking his time and exploring other parts of the body, which can make him come off as teasing but he just wants a chance to explore and adore other parts of his lover!

P   :   PARTNER.   what does your muse look for in a partner? looks / personality?

Pascal doesn't really care about looks because he's legally blind ("A cooler version of legally blond. I solve cases with my mind, Rhys!") And most people in his visions, while they have features and he can see them, they're often bright and blurred so it's like....ugly goggles? It's how he would describe it to a sad eyed Rhys because his bf has just called him ugly in a way.

He likes rude people, ngl. Pascal gets insulted??? Immediately enamoured because it's so different from how he was always treated with cold adoration. It probably makes Rhys a little depressed to hear that what made Pascal like him so much was the bad stuff depsite hownsweet it is in a way.

Q   :   QUESTION.   would your muse ask the big question or expect their partner to?

Pascal is fully happy to and he probably would since proposing to him is a little useless. Isn't the point of the proposal (apart from having Rhys forever - a wonderful idea) is for it to be a surpise? Pascal would ruin it if he was proposed to by waking up and scremaing yes so he would wait for the perfect chance to propose (by having Korra bringing the ring box).

R   :   ROMANCE.   is your muse a romantic or a cynic?

With Rhys, he's become more of a romantic. Its seeing someone so easily lovable that's made Pascal more inclined to sharing his heart and making him want to do things to make Rhys feel special. Pascal fully gets why all those cheesy romances are so cheesy now, he'd do evey cheesy gesture in the world if it made Rhys smile at least once.

S   :   SWEETHEART.   did your muse have a childhood sweetheart?

Nope, Pascal's mother didn't want him getting close with any of the devotees children and they'd experience strict punishments if they interacted with Pascal and Cassandra. He barely ever spoke to any of those other kids and then he spent almost his entire teens alone in the church. It's why he had been a bit over eager when he began to move away into the city.

T   :   TRUE LOVE.   does your muse believe in true love?

He...wishes he could, after all, fate is real so why can't true love be? But Pascal finds it hard to believe in after a lifetime of being in cold isolation, even when he wasn't really alone. But with Rhys? Yeah, he can start to see why true love can be such a great deal.

U   :   UNREQUITED.   has your muse had their heart broken?

No, well...if you count heartbreak by family? Then yeah, his mother shattered his heart. But Pascal hasn't ever been close enough to someone to experience it and his visions help him deal with it by distancing himself to any bad events that he knows are going to happen.

V   :   VALENTINE.   how does your muse feel about valentine’s day?

He likes it! Pascal enjoys the chance to be cheesy with his romance and certainly he is not going to pass up the chance to make Rhys feel special! Its mostly about Rhys but Pascal does feel surprisingly flustered if Rhys ever whips out some treats for him. He doesn't like anything overly special for one day about romance though. It seems cliche.

X   :   XOXO.   does your muse use / like pet names?

Yup! He uses them after a while as part of him showing his affection, but Pascal will use them sooner if the other person uses them first. Like a "oh he does this so I can do it too" mindset.

Z   :   ZZZ.   how many people has your muse slept with?

Only one and it was a woman who he had met at a bar and got pegged by later that night. Pascal had been overzealous and lonely but it had been enough for him to settle until he had eventually met Rhys. Get togethers were harder when they were so...repetitive.
