3, 12, 22, 33, 43 for hkarlach!

Thank you Liz! Gave me a bit of a thinking one but eh the intricacies of having a warforged fall in love ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ whaddya gonna do about it.

3. How would one another describe their partner?

HK: The warmest person around, someone that makes him feel alive (yes even literally because her natural heat allows him to have some kind of sensation since it goes through the thick metal to his nerves. She’s tough and protective, he loves how she has to move always, and how honest she can be. And most of all how she didn’t turn against him when it had to come out that he worked under the man she felt the most betrayed by.

Karlach: For once there’s someone as tall as her and can keep up. He can match her in battle and yet has one of the most gentle of touches. She loves his ways of being polite and how slightly flustered he can get when he gets to the sex scenes in novels after she asked him to read it aloud for her (look the whole camp can hear he’s just trying to be polite). Have you ever seen a robot gently holding a baby bird to put back in its nest? It can make you rethink on if there’s good in the world still. But more importantly he understands her feelings and situation with Gortash because he too suffered by his hand.

12. Who picks the other person up when hugging their partner?

They both do! The question becomes who can lift the other higher! Which there is a clear answer for it and it’s HK. Unfortunately he’s a lot of metal and some inner workings that are just heavy so Karlach can lift him so his feet are about a foot off the ground, HK could lift her higher and over his head. It’s a contest yes and there’s a lot of laughter and is actually the first thing he does with her once she gets the second upgrade. It’s a spinning hug and she’s lifted off the ground.

22. Who is in love with the other person’s laugh?

HK loves Karlachs laugh as it is one of the most human sounding things he enjoys to hear, it also shows off her smile. However in terms of level Karlach beats him as his laugh is something that very much isn’t something you’d hear from a warforged and it does objectively have a very robotic computer quality to it, but with him and having all this natural emotion it just is one of the most genuine sounds he can make that sounds as organic as anyone else. And like sure the magic helped in masking the inorganic part for a long time but when he was able to finally drop it and it just be natural for him it was as if the magic one was inorganic afterwards.

33. Who would they love to go on a double date with?

Of my ocs? They’d pick Aza and Astarion. In general anyone that dates Shadowheart. She’d be the most chill of everyone.

43. What do they like to see each other in?

This is a bit of a hard one as there’s an element of HK without the glamour is just metal….so there isn’t much he could put on other than some kind of strap on…..so basically whatever she’s feeling like that night! And he’s a bit weird in that he finds her beautiful and attractive but he’s still trying to find out how to differentiate between that and sexy (it’s even harder when he’s getting five different answers on what that is because each person he asks has their own idea). He does love her in her more casual wear though!
