#I WANT THEM TO TEAM UP SPILLING EVERY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES OF MALLEUS PLEAPLEPALSEEEE!!!!!!

HEADPAT HEADCANON where Malleus observes the difference between Maleficia's headpat and Lilia's. For Lilia, when he pets Malleus, its more rough and kind of feels like ruffling his hair but not messy, with Maleficia, its slow and she pets from one motion only (like moving her hand from left to right).

Lilia often looks at Malleus whenever he pets him, with a cheeky smile as if congratulating a little kid even if Malleus is grown now, but Maleficia closes her eyes whenever she gives him a headpat as if to savor the moment (or my angst reason that she doesn't look bcs Malleus looks like Meleanor, its not that she hates it, but its that she doesnt want to relate Malleus with Meleanor when he's his own person, so she tries to differentiate them in her mind by memorizing what "Malleus feels like"), She also looks more calmer whenever she pets him.

Unlike Lilia who gives him a headpat to congratulate, Maleficia gives a headpat as if to soothe a child. For Malleus, It feels embarassing for Lilia to think of him as a child, but Malleus doesnt mind it when Maleficia thinks of him like that.

Lilia's headpats can be gained by doing something he'll be proud of (like getting along with humans) but Maleficia's headpats can be rare bcs she does it randomly (whenever she reminisces how she tried to hatch him or she remembers Meleanor😭) and Malleus can't pinpoint the cause of it but he welcomes it still because its one of the affection gestures that Maleficia often does
