It takes Lux a minute to settle on a single word, and she spends most of the time with her gaze averted, steadily flushing a mottled shade of red. When she finally opens her mouth, it’s to exhale in a ragged rush and finally offer, “Confused.”
“I was… impressed, truth be told, by a man who could waltz in to a meltdown of thaumaturges and laugh as easily as he does. And then resentful - who was he to downplay what we do and how angry we become? And who was he that Dirge didn’t immediately Flare him the same easy way he would do others who spoke out of turn?“
The longer she spoke, the more her expression settled towards her usual neutral stoicism. The corner of her mouth jerks abruptly out into a fanged grin; she issues a sharp bark of a laugh and shakes her head. “I didn’t figure it out that first meeting. Tracked him down to the Gold Court and his first impression of me was that I was wanting protection, wanting gil, and then wanting a date, all in short order.”
Their current impression:
“I should’ve known. Of course he knows what the price of tangling with the Void is. And of course he’s paid it - in blood. It’s right there staring you in the face - that mask he always wears… He spends a lot of time cracking jokes and trying to distract you from it, of course. You, and everyone else, and himself…”
What they like the most about your muse:
“The most?” Lux pressed her mouth into a grim line. Although she’d had no problems ripping into the darkest parts of the captain’s history just moments prior, now she had settled into an uneasy silence. She muttered something about lipstick and books before finally pitching her voice loud enough to say, coherently, “I like brunch.” She refused to elaborate.
What they dislike the most about your muse:
“…His idea of settling debts is running away from their collectors. That only works if the rest of your crew is willing to run away, too. And I’m not.”
What your muse is for them ( Friend, lover, rival ecc.):
Captain, friend, and someone Lux would gladly have by her side (or… in the background, apparently not paying attention, cracking the occasional one-liner) during adventures
She is very gingerly toeing that line between openly referring to him and the rest of the Black Cats crew as ‘family’. The word carries a lot of weight for her.
A general opinion of their relationship:
“I’m slowly learning not to take myself so seriously. There’s a lot I’m learning from him. I’m sure he’ll learn something too.”
If applicable, something they wish to reveal:
“Frankly, if Nald’thal wants to reach him, He should talk to me more and Kharn less…” Lux sounds wistful.
