#for the record I never recommend the silent treatment irl but it's good for entertainment in fiction lol

How would the Ro's react if Mc was giving them the silent treatment? Let's say it was bc Mc saw someone flirting with the Ro's and got jealous.

Cooking up a little mini drama here, I like it!

A couple ROs might actually attract a bit of attention when your group heads into some cities as well, so this may pop up to an extent.

Oswin:  He starts out chiding MC a bit. He’s a little upset, then worried, then upset again. He’s questioning every interaction he’s had recently with MC, thinking he must have done something wrong. Then he thinks he deserves it and he’s down on himself. He’ll bring a token of affection to try and make amends, give an apology speech and very sadly walk away to give MC space. If MC explains the reason for the silent treatment, Oswin will be stunned into silence himself.

Zahn:  This is the worst torture imaginable. They’re absolutely stewing about it. MC is getting bugged a lot and receiving tokens (treats, flowers, etc) and apologies. Extended periods of silence would be very scary for them and they’d fear the relationship was irreparably broken and would beg for MC to talk to them. If MC tells them the reason for their silence, Zahn will feel both pleased and maybe a bit grumpy.

Duri:  Would get pouty about it. They’d be a bit stubborn, pretend not to notice, then pretend it doesn’t bother them. They’d do subtle, silly, or tricky things to get MC to accidentally speak to them, and maybe slip in some cute things to make MC want to talk to them. If MC tells them the reason for the silent treatment, they’re going to be very flattered.

Rune:  Did not realize they were getting the silent treatment for quite a while. Once they pick up on it, they’re going to tell MC that they’ll listen when MC is ready to talk and will take it in stride. If MC tells them the reason for the silence, Rune will think it’s a bit cute.

???:  He’s going to be insufferable. Teasing MC, being annoying, trying to provoke a reaction - but he’s doing this to try and cope. He’s quietly worried that he’s hurt MC somehow and is analyzing everything to try and figure out what he did. If MC tells them what was up, he will reassure them that the MC is the only one he wants attention from.

Thank you for the ask, Anon! ^_^
