#i dont alwynn would have been the kind of person to enter a relationship prior to the calamity

[pippuns]

Ahh oh dear this is more questions than I anticipated sorry!! I just wanna make sure I get it right xD

-Does Alwynn have any particular… for lack of a better term, speech patterns?

-Do they fluster easily?

-Roughly how old would they and Haurchefant be when the Romance Begins?

-Is there a real world equivalent to the sign they use? I swear I’ve seen you draw them signing something but I CANNOT find it for the life me lol

And just anything else you want to mention!!! Thank you so much for letting me have fun with them :D

LOL no worries!! i will do my very best to answer!!

1. they typically leave others to do the talking for them, and more often than not keep their opinions to themself, but when they do elect to sign something they're generally frank and to the point. they're not someone to mince words or beat around the bush, but they feel bad if they inadvertently sign something rude because of this and it keeps them up at night even if it was something very small and inconsequential

2. haha yeah. their ears get super blushy too, before their face does

3. there was a lot of pining from the two of them back when alwynn still lived in ishgard, and then even more pining in the years up to the calamity (alwynn wrote a ton of letters they never sent that got burned up at cartenau). if there was a time when the romance would have happened though, it'd be at camp dragonhead after the bloody banquet.

i dont think there'd be a definitive start; they're probably just fall into a relationship naturally without ever actually defining it and stay like that a bit before haurchefant actually confesses, nevermind that they've been dating for a while.

post-calamity they actually do send their letters, so i'm sure there was a bunch of dumb medieval flirting between the two prior to their staying at camp dragonhead for extended periods of time.

less related but haurchefant does sort of remember them even after the calamity!! he has letters from them prior to them leaving ishgard saved, as well as his own journals to fall back on, though he's still missing a lot of information about who they were and why they left. he didn't recognize them when they first came to camp dragonhead post-calamity, but he did go off on a limb and guess that they were his friend which was very much a :o moment for alwynn

4. i typically use ASL for their sign but also I suck at drawing hands so it's not very clear oops
