3, 7, and 16 for alia/minfilia pls 🥺

couple development questions

ty kels!! excited to give them more attention <:

3. by contrast, what was the moment that first made their ~heart~ soft for the other person? not necessarily a conscious realization of “I love this person,” but a moment that had them like “oh… I adore them…”

there isn’t really any specific or grand moment that strikes them, but anytime that d’alia able to make her smile or laugh or listens to minfilia share her hopes does it for her. and for minfilia, it’s any of the times that d’alia lets down her guard to be a sillier, softer version of herself, but equally anytime that she faces hardship with the sort of determination that she admires.

7. do they (or would they) pursue the other character’s affection, and if so, how? do they tell the other character how they feel? try to earn their admiration? woo them with romantic gestures? flirt with them, skillfully or otherwise?

they do pursue it! the mutual admiration is sort of the foundation to their affection, and there’s a lot of light flirtation and testing the waters on their feelings before they decide to act on them, which d’alia is the first to confess, but both of them actively seek it. minfilia is the better flirt verbally while d’alia is better with gestures between thoughtful gifts or meaningful touches.

16. if they had the ability to just spend free time with their partner, what would they do? would they go out or stay inside?

for d’alia, it’s a little of both - she knows minfilia is often stuck inside the solar dealing with bureaucracy and handling other things as the antedecent and wants to take her somewhere to relax, but she also enjoys their quiet time alone, especially the more she becomes known as the warrior of light. minfilia expresses a lot that she wishes she could go places with her, too, so they do spend a little more time out together! when they do, it’s typically lunch and dinner dates, and strolls through revenant’s toll and long talks on a bench and the occasional shopping excursion, or participating in some event festivities in one of the city states. and when they stay in, they do things like having tea and talking by the fireplace, or sitting intertwined while one reads.
