2, 7, 24 for whatever ship you'd like? 🙂
Thank you so much for the ask! :D
2. Big spoon/Little spoon?
Despite his massive height difference... Haurchefant is the little spoon between him and Nahte. If you can call it spooning, anyway! Nahte more or less ragdolls on top of Haurchefant at night.
For X'rhun and I'lyrha, X'rhun is usually the big spoon. Lyrha likes it that way. It's easier for her to instigate ... special spooning.
7. What’s the first thing that changes when they realize they have feelings for the other?
Like reasonable, well-adjusted people, X'rhun and I'lyrha immediately distance themselves from one another.
Though idealistic and passionate, X'rhun has far too much experience being robbed of the people he cares about, fighting for the losing side, and keeping friends only in passing. Lyrha should have been another transient adventure: a maiden rescued from the bring of death, a pupil taught Red Magic, and gone on her own way. If she stayed, it meant letting her get to know the real him, beneath the Crimson coat. Having her by his side meant accepting the risk of losing a true comrade, again. After a lifetime of injustice, that might be too much a burden to bear.
For I'lyrha, it meant choosing between continuing to lie to the only honest man she'd ever met, and telling him the truth about what she really was - a pirate and a slaver, who'd spent her life caring for no one but herself, who'd condemned innocents, children, to horrible fates... everything X'rhun and Red Mages stood so stalwartly against. He'd killed many villains for lesser crimes. Honesty would give him the power to condemn her... or forgive her, both perhaps equally terrifying. And perhaps she didn't deserve his love, anyway, especially if she continued to keep her past a secret.
24. Who whispers inappropriate things in the other’s ear during inappropriate times?
Between Nahte and Haurchefant -- it's absolutely Haurchefant. There's just something satisfying about seeing cool, collected Nahte'to Vhia's fur stand on end in the middle of a dull meeting.
