How do the Clones respond to receiving a gift? (Pt. 1)

Rex: he is quick to accept the gift, even if he isn't sure exactly what it is or why he's receiving it. He understands natborns sometimes get the urge to give each other things as a form of bonding, and he's been given several flowers and letters from Ahsoka to know the actions he should take: offer thanks and find something to appreciate about the item, even if it won't realistically serve him. A flower? Rex will usually find something nice to say about the shape of its petals or the hue beginning to fade. A handmade drawing or letter? He likes to study the strokes left by the graphite or ink used in its inception.

Cody: Literally has no reference for how to react. He stares at whatever item is being held out to him with curiosity and confusion. You'll have to practically place it in his palm and say, "I wanted you to have this because I saw it and thought of you." He doesn't know what that means, especially when he looks down to see a small jar of yellow paint or another item that isn't issued by the GAR. Once it is made explicit that it's a gift, nothing more or less, he starts to think about the intentions behind it. He likes being thought of, and he'd like to try and return the generosity.

Echo: He can hardly hide the excitement at the gesture! He's all smiles even before he knows what it is he's being given; it's the act itself that makes the gift have value to him. If he's close enough to the person, he'll instantly offer a big hug until he can find something to gift to them. If not, he'll settle for lots and lots of eye contact as a way of trying to communicate how much he loves it.

Wolffe: spends a lot of time studying the item he's been given. A new attachment for his blaster gets held and turned around over and over again until it finally clicks that it's something he can use and isn't expected to return. If it's something less oriented towards his soldiering, such as a fuzzy blanket or a wool sweater, he lays it out on his bed and stares at it for quite literally hours. The closest thing he has to these items are flattened pillows and his blacks, so it's unprecedented and he can't quite figure out what to do with it. Eventually, he'll fall into his bunk and wrap the item around him, relaxing his body and purring like a loth cat until sleep claims him. (He doesn't consider getting the person something in exchange unless someone specifically explains that that's sort of part of the tradition.)

Hevy: treasures it no matter what it is. An acorn one of his brothers had brought back on account of it's never-before-seen shape? He keeps it in the small pouch on his utility belt. A crude drawing done of him by Cutup or Droidbait? He hangs it proudly on the wall of his bunk, and it's the last thing he sees each night before his eyes fall closed. It's the same when the gift has come from someone who isn't a brother; he makes sure to tell them he loves it and them, if appropriate, and he keeps it as close to his person as possible at all times.

He's staring at you again, and you can see it from the corner of your eye.

You quietly smile, as you read through the paperwork, keeping the illusion that you're occupied by the work.

But he's a clever man, you know he can see through you. So after a few minutes of waiting, you break the silence.

"What is it, Captain?" You asked him while sparing him no glance, "Does something bother you?"

"Nothing." You heard him say, "It's nothing."

"Sure you have nothing in mind?" You replied as you put a file aside, "You know you can talk to me about anything. I'm all ears."

He seems to contemplate it for a moment, before he decides to speak. "Why do you wear red lipstick?"

You raise your brow upon hearing the question, "It helps me feel more confident." You tap the papers against the table to even them out.

"Did it help you feel 'more' confident when you left a mark on the inner part of my sleeve?"

You hold back your smile as you compile the paperwork together, "Well, how can you be sure that was me?"

"Because you're the only woman who wears red lipstick." He stated, "And the only one who bothers enough to notice my habit to roll up the cuff, so I can see my watch easily."

You chuckle as you turn your head to see him, "It's for good luck."

He furrows his brows at you, "Care to explain?"

"You've been a soldier before, John, surely you knew about a woman's kiss as a lucky charm?"

"I know." He replied, "But they carried it inside their handkerchiefs."

"Well, do you have it? The handkerchief?"

"... No."

You smile as you deliver the file to his desk, keeping your gaze on him as he watches you walk closer. His eyes follow your hand, as you place the report in front of him. "Is that all, Captain?"

He searches your face, before he leans back against the chair. "Say," He began, "What crossed your mind when you held my uniform in your hands? Did you wish for my safety, or did you want me to notice?"

"I can't see why it can't be both, sir."

He cocks his head, and a small smirk begins to form on his lips, "You're quite bold, aren't you?"

"It's just the work of the charm." You coyly said, "Wipe my lipstick off, and I wouldn't even have the courage to look you in the eye."

He tilted his head, before patting the top of his thigh.

"Shall we find out?"

Captain Flint (Black Sails) and Adar (The Rings of Power)

Just a small list of comparisons I personally could see between the characters. Possibly very subjective!

(Possible spoilers, though I'll try to keep them minimal by being vague as much as I can!)

neither goes by the name they were given at birth

made into a monster through factors and circumstances that are (partially) out of their control

appear like a cruel tyrant at first glance but the more layers are pulled back the more it becomes clear that they are also a victim and that they struggle with who they have become

their plans are geared towards protecting and saving their peers, but they are willing to make huge sacrifices (even out of their peers) to achieve this goal*

originally come from a society that now only feels disgust and horror towards them and punishes them for their mere existance (as well as their crimes, but those came later)

live in a society/huge group of outcasts that are not accepted anywhere else but amongst each other and who have to fight to have a place of their own

betrayed by one of their closest, most trusted allies and in a crucial moment in their character arc/story (and their arc concludes because of that)

they just want a place of their own to call home and finally *rest*

(are queer or at the very least allow for a queer reading)

*of course Adar's and Flint's actual, individual motivations in that regard are quite different when you further dig into them
