How do you need to be touched?
fervently.
you crave a hug that cracks your ribs... the feeling of your wandering soul being crushed back into the bones that can't seem to hold it. you need a hand gripping yours so tightly you almost fear it may leave a bruise, a reminder that you are here. and that you are not alone.

[ 🧨 ]ㅤ.ㅤwhat’s the quickest way to set them off, even if they hide it well ? // for everyone! i wanna know what sets them off >:3

// allllllrighty then let's go through the list here!
Nuven'in
it's hard to get under her skin since it's pretty thick. she knows what she is and wears it like a badge of honor. most people make the mistake of thinking they can insult her by attacking her habits, but what actually gets under her skin are insults about her shallowness. attack her depth as a person, because that's what she's actually insecure about, if you really want to Get to her.
Vax
vax is very, very defensive about her relationship with viago. she won't accept criticism of how he or the crows in general treat her. she knows what she does isn't Good, or good for her, but she refuses to hear it from other people. pointing it out to her is a good way to get your head bitten off.
Tura
a Lot of things set tura off. the quickest way, though, i think is insulting her because she's an elf. it's an old wound, what happened to her mom, and later what happened right before duncan recruited her still makes her mad. bring all that back up by being a bigot and she'll probably just kill you right then and there.
Bertrand
bertrand is full of a lot of hot air, so he complains a lot but it's not the same as being Truly angry. cracks about his writing will generally send him on a rant, but again, it's mostly just an excuse for him to bitch. i think what would set him off, genuinely, and pretty immediately, is a sideways word about his brother and/or his brother's suicide. we'd definitely see another side of ol' berty if anyone did that.
Lucanis
hah. offending his "delicate sensibilities," of course. lucanis has a personal sense of justice he tends to adhere to, regardless of what he's supposed to be doing. if someone truly disgusts him—like the Wigmaker—he gets Like That and he turns renegade. his is a deadly kind of fury.
Felassan
felassan is hard to crack bc he's a sly boy, but he has ideals. violating those ideals are probably the quickest way to piss him off, but you might not know it for a while until he realllllyyy lets you know it. and oh boy, will you Know it.
