▸Morning Frost SFW Alphabet
➥Content: They/them reader. Morning Frost fluff. Carnivàle Lecroux mentions.
✦Admiration – What do they admire about a partner?
Morning Frost admires many things about you, but above all else, Frost finds your intelligence to be your best feature. You don’t need to be quick-witted constantly, but he appreciates the fact that you can keep up with his quips and are willing to play his various mind games. Additionally, Frost admires your resourcefulness and mindfulness, as the others in the group don’t always alleviate the pressure of having to be the problem solver.
✦Bashful – Do they feel shy or get flustered by their partner?
Everything you say and do is carefully considered by Frost. He tries to predict your mood and actions, so catching Frost off guard can be difficult but not impossible. When you do manage to fluster him, the tabaxi isn’t going to show it on his face. If you look, you might notice the way his sharp yellow gaze squints and his tail flicks ever so slightly. Frost may not reply right away, but he is indeed plotting a way to fluster you back.
✦Comfort – How do they comfort their partner? How do they like to be comforted?
He is very empathetic but can be stiff. The Psionic Order Frost was raised to discourage great displays of affection, so he may hesitate to touch you. He’s certainly willing to give it if you’re seeking physical touch, but it might be sparse. A gentle paw on your back or your knee represents a gentle invitation for you to move closer as Frost lets you lean into him. Of course, Frost is also an excellent listener, so he’s more than happy to let you vent while he strategizes ways to smooth over your distress.
Conversely, in situations in which Morning Frost is distressed, he’s not going to seek you out. He finds great comfort in meditation and self-reflection. These are tactics he is intimately familiar with and that prevent him from being burdensome to you. The longer you know him, the easier it is to spot signs that Frost needs comfort, but he’ll likely turn you away, seeking solace in his own mind palace.
✦Dreams – How do they imagine their relationship in the future?
The stereotypes that tabaxi are creatures of unending curiosity and wanderlust are partially true for Frost. His entire life has been a pursuit of greater knowledge, and he would find the greatest joy if you wanted to join him on this life quest. If you wanted to settle down somewhere, Frost would be open to that, but would seek out lengthy, explorative trips.
✦Equals – Are they dominant or passive in the relationship?
There is no doubt in Frost’s mind that you are anything other than total equals. Sure, you have your own strengths, but Frost has his own weaknesses. He also has deep respect for you and your opinions; he never fully defers to you, but Frost always takes your thoughts into consideration.
✦Falling – How do they know their falling in love? How do they react?
Falling in love isn’t unheard of for Morning Frost. He’s not without his childhood crushes or the occasional romance, but the sensation always seems to surprise him. While the series of steps is quite logical, the underlying current of emotions is what unsettles him. Sure, he can expect the dilation of his eyes, the increased heart rate whenever you're near, or the way he catches his lips tilting up into a smile whenever you tell a bad joke. But the overwhelming, nearly suffocating waves of longing are what bother him. There aren’t enough breathing exercises in the world that can rein in that longing.
Frost would hesitate to confess these feelings to you. There’s too much risk involved that could disrupt your current relationship. In time, Frost could consider confessing, but only if he knew you would reciprocate his feelings or under the influence of feywild magic.
✦Gratitude – What do they do to show that their grateful for their partner’s efforts?
Morning Frost is incredibly vocal about his appreciation for all that you do for him and the rest of the party. His praise for your talents is a common occurrence, but not so much that they feel disingenuous.
“Thank you for your help, my dear. Your expertise is invaluable to our success.”
✦Honesty – How open are they with their partner? Is it difficult for them to share secrets?
Honesty is a given for Morning Frost. It’s foundational for a healthy relationship, romantic or otherwise. Frost’s truths can be a bit blunt, but are never intentionally hurtful. Additionally, he may be avoidant about sensitive topics, but he will not blatantly lie to you. It may take a while for him to warm up to you, but eventually he’ll share his inner secrets with you.
✦Injury – How do they react when their partner gets injured?
During a situation in which your safety is anything but assured, Frost is hyper vigilant. Protecting you and the party is one of his top priorities, but injuries are inevitable. A minor injury doesn’t concern him really, Frost knows you're tough, so a few bruises don’t bother him. Serious injuries, however, broken bones, gashes, and the like, deeply perturb him. During combat, Frost does his best to monitor you, but in the heat of a fight, his powers must be concentrated on the threat. When you inevitably receive injuries that bring you to your knees, Frost, if he’s able, will cast Vortex Warp to move you to safety. It’s not a perfect solution as he’d much rather assess you than send you away. By the time the fight ends, Frost wastes no time seeking you out and providing you with first aid until true medical care can be provided to you. He won’t say it out loud, but it’s clear Frost is distressed as he kneels beside you. His tail hangs low, and the tip twitches, thumping against the ground, and his ears are pressed against his head.
✦Jealousy – Do they get jealous? How do they respond to people flirting with their partner?
Frost is not jealous. That simmering feeling that rolls in his stomach when he sees someone flirting with you isn't jealousy. Don't be so foolish. After years of study and discipline, Frost is above many of his tabaxi tendencies, and yet when it comes to you, he finds himself out of sorts. A deeper part of himself can't stand to see someone pestering his "mate," so to speak. He finds the situation incredibly frustrating. Frost isn't afraid that someone is going to woo you; he is more frustrated that the interloper has the audacity to pester you. Despite all of that, Frost won't intervene unless someone is making you uncomfortable or trying to touch you. If that's the case, he's immediately stalking over to you, sharp yellow eyes affixed on the perpetrator. As he sees the individual's fingers clutching your wrist, Frost will use his Mage Hand to pry them off you.
✦Kiss – What is it like to kiss them?
Gentleness encompasses much of the way Morning Frost handles you, and kisses are no different, regardless of where they are. He’s very mindful of his large teeth that press against the inside of his mouth whenever his muzzle touches you in any fashion. Frost is also incredibly respectful about the way he touches you when kissing. A large paw will settle on your waist or on your cheek, but it never lingers anywhere it shouldn’t. His fur and whiskers also tickle your flesh, not unlike a beard. Sometimes Frost twitches his face to intentionally prick you with his whiskers. He finds it cute when you playfully recoil.
✦Little Ones – Do they want their own children?
Frost’s opinion regarding children leans towards “if it happens, it happens.” That doesn’t mean he’s going to be engaging in unsafe activities that may or may not make them, but Frost doesn’t feel super impassioned either way. He doesn’t dislike children, but given his complicated feelings regarding his parents and childhood, Frost may be a bit hesitant. Though he’d likely be an excellent father, maybe not the most openly affectionate, but clearly loving and wise.
✦Mirrored – What habits have they picked up from their partner?
Over the course of your relationship, Frost becomes more comfortable with PDA in a variety of forms. It starts with him holding your hand so as to not get separated on a crowded street. When he lets you go, Frost notes that he found the sensation of holding your hand very pleasing. He finds himself reaching for you more often, even if it’s no longer necessary. If one of their friends comments, he may simply say, “They’re bound to get lost if I don’t hold on to them.” But everyone knows that’s horse shit.
At some point, you give him a goodbye kiss on the cheek, to which Frost finds incredibly endearing. He begins to give a little forehead kiss or a gentle head butt as a form of greeting. While it’s not the most overt form of affection, it’s something small Frost can do to show how pleased he is to see you.
✦Nightmares – Do they want comfort from nightmares? How do they comfort their partner after bad dreams?
An average night for Frost consists of dreamless sleep or the occasional pleasant or even unusual dream, so comforting him following a nightmare is a rarity. When they do occur, Frost will endeavor not to wake you; a good night's sleep is critical for your health after all. He may find comfort in cuddling closer to you. However, Frost insists you shouldn’t do the same. He would happily provide you comfort and may even be a tad disappointed if you didn’t seek him out for help. Frost will also shake you awake if he notices you having a nightmare. He’ll rub soothing circles onto your back and try to soothe you with deep purrs.
✦Obvious – How obvious is it that they developed a crush?
If things go his way, you wouldn’t know unless Frost wanted you to know about his feelings. He’s quite good at keeping a stoic facade even when Frost can feel his heart hammering in his chest. Frost may even try to put distance between the two of you if he feels overwhelmed by this crush. If anyone is going to pick up on Frost’s crush on you, it's Gricko. He’s known Morning Frost for many years, far longer than the rest of the party, so Gricko could probably pick up on it.
“C’mon Frosty, embrace cupid’s arrow!”
“Don’t make me crush your mind, Gricko.”
✦Pet Names – What pet names do they have for their partner? Do they enjoy pet names?
Nicknames have never been Frost’s strong suit, as even his closest friends are usually referred to by their full names. However, Frost does want to offer you a special title. He’ll test out a few but will eventually settle on more traditional pet names. In particular, Frost becomes fond of “dearest” or “my dear.” When he’s in a particularly good mood, he may even call you “sweetheart.”
For himself, Frost is not opposed to pet names, but will veto most of them. He would prefer something simple and intimate. If you want to call Frost something silly, he may request that you only use it in private.
✦Quality Time – What are their favorite ways to spend time with their partner?
Morning Frost loves a good conversation, so sharing a meaningful or intellectual discussion is delightful to him. He often poses philosophical quandaries for you to think over and then discuss while on long walks. He also appreciates it when you're willing to play any of the myriad mind games he enjoys, especially since the other party members claim these games are boring. Additionally, Frost would be very happy participating in parallel play, the two of you sitting in comfortable silence.
✦Recollection – How well do they remember information about their partner?
Morning Frost has a complex mind palace where he carefully catalogues a lifetime's worth of information, and you have your own room. Everything he knows about you is carefully stored away for later use. He keeps track of a variety of facts, ranging from important dates to your favorite foods to the way you like to style your clothes. Frost also has a particular list of potential gift ideas depending on items you’ve commented on wanting or if he notices you’re in need of anything.
✦Sleep – What sleeping habits do they have? Does it change when they get into a relationship?
While he enjoys cuddling, he may find it difficult to adjust to sleeping in a bed with you. He has a particular nighttime routine, and Frost will strive to seamlessly integrate your presence into said routine, but it may take some time. It’s one thing to arrange your bed rolls next to each other; it’s another to have you tucked into bed with him. Once he gets used to things, however, Frost will relish the sensation of your weight pressing against him. The subconscious reminder that you’re safe by his side helps Frost sleep.
If you get your hands on one of those nice feywild tents, Frost is going to hide out there. It may be a bit out of character, as he likely will ask, but he is already making his way into your tent. Anything to get away from what lurks in his tent.
✦Thrilling – Do they want to change things up in the relationship or do they prefer a routine?
Morning Frost is a creature of habit; he appreciates some semblance of a steady routine. He’s factored in the disruptions of Carnivàle Lecroux into his day-to-day life, but would desire consistency within your relationship, even if it’s as simple as sharing an hour together alone to just enjoy each other's company every afternoon.
✦Ugly – What are some of their unpleasant habits?
This is a man of few bad habits. Growing up in the Order punished unpleasant behaviors, but everyone has something. For Frost, it’s using the word “actually” in a way that's almost condescending when correcting people. As he’s aged and been exposed to a variety of people, Frost has learned when to let such things go, but that itch still festers.
✦Vaunt – Are they proud of their partner? Do they try to show them off?
Frost is so painfully proud of you and your accomplishments. When you get recognition, Frost feels like his heart is going to burst. He continually praises you for your success to the point of irritating other people. You deserve so much greatness, and Frost is more than willing to support you. However, he doesn’t show you in the traditional sense. While he appreciates seeing you in nice outfits, dressing you up to take you to a fancy place isn’t exactly his forte. Sure, he feels good when people envy his place in your life, but it’s not something he tries to encourage. Frost tends to flaunt your talents through small, almost scolding comments.
“I told you to let (Name) go first, Gideon. They’re more experienced than you.”
✦Weeping – How do they respond to their partner crying? Do they ever cry in front of their partner?
Frost will respect your boundaries regarding physical touch, but if you’ll allow him, he’d like to rest a paw on you. A gentle touch to your back or knee, just so you know he’s there for you. He may even rest his tail across your lap as extra security. Frost will listen and only give his opinion if asked, but he will not leave unless you ask him. In regards to himself, Frost isn’t much of a crier but doesn’t find shame in it. He will cry in front of you, but won’t physically reach out; you will have to go to him this time.
✦EXtinguish – How do they diffuse arguments? Do they need time to cool off?
Fights with Frost are a rarity, but he’s stubborn, especially when he thinks he’s in the right. Despite that, he’s a very level-headed man with deep respect for you, so fights will never escalate to him raising his voice at you. At worst, Frost's words can be cutting even with his passive-aggressive tendencies.
Being at odds with you is incredibly distressing for him, so after a period of mediation and inner reflection, he will apologize regardless of how the fight turned out. If you’ll allow it, Frost would like to reaffirm your bond by cuddling and grooming you. He’s also going to try to make it up to you by doing more acts of service.
“Please accept my apology. The way I spoke to you was unbecoming, and I’m aware that I shouldn’t speak to you that way. I am deeply sorry.”
✦Yearning – What do they do when they miss their partner? How long does it take until they long for their partner?
Much like a house cat, Frost can act very aloof with people in his life, despite actually craving their attention. You are no different. Since he's incredibly self-sufficient, Frost has an air of apathy when you're away, but after about a week, your absence is significantly felt. He becomes more agitated by his friend's shenanigans, having less patience for meaningless side quests. Even activities that he may have enjoyed to some extent are met with brooding.
The logical part of his mind scoffs at his internal lamenting. He's an adult, for God's sake, and he knows you're capable of caring for yourself, so he finds all these worried feelings to be frustrating. The longer you're away, the more these feelings fester in him, and the more worries about your safety begin to disrupt his day-to-day functions. Frost eventually comes to the conclusion that being unable to contact you perturbs him. He is used to regularly conversing with you, either aloud or in your mind, and that sudden silence is deafening.
Upon your return, you're met with several headbutts from Frost right away. He's eager to pull your bags off and tug you into a private room to get reacquainted. Frost allows his more primal instincts to have a bit of control. He's rubbing his face against you, grooming you, while purring ever so slightly. Of course, he's peppering you with all kinds of questions as he wants to hear about your travels.
"I'm pleased you're back with us, my dear. I'm not sure I could've lasted another day without you."
"Missed me that much, Frost?"
✦Zenith – Where does their relationship rank in value compared to other parts of their life?
Please don’t ask this of him. Frost loves you; he loves you so deeply, but his entire life has been dedicated to the Order. Frost is a man of knowledge; he hungers for intellectual challenges. These two elements of his life, you and his intellect, are the two most essential parts of himself. Asking him to sacrifice one for the other is an impossible task. If you ask him which he would pick, Frost would struggle to answer. It’s something he would likely ponder for some time, while still never coming to an actual conclusion. Frost would do his best to assure you that his lack of answer doesn’t negate his feelings for you in the slightest. Frost loves you deeper than he ever thought he could love someone.
