@lazyvoyager Ornata isn’t lying; he can actually read palms, just sometimes often he has ulterior motives.

Not that I’m not always thinking about Lucio’s confidence/self image, but damn I am thinking about it tonight.

It’s discussed endlessly, both in-game and out: he knows/thinks he’s handsome, spends endless time/money/resources to have the best hair, the most fashionable clothes, to be perfectly trimmed and waxed and brushed and made-up; he projects an air of being the best, the strongest, the most experienced, the most attractive, whether it be from the position of Count of Vesuvia or rugged, rowdy, blood-spattered warrior.

And, while still wearing the mask of complete confidence/control, he constantly seeks approval and validation. Aren’t I the greatest? Are you not swooning over me? Don’t I look dashing in the fresh blood of monsters and men?

And the moment he doesn’t get that validation, he doesn’t know what to do. Confidence: gone. World: shaken.

Not that he doesn’t want to impress everyone, enthrall everyone, but the MC seems to be a special case. From him calling them a snack flirting(?) in the prologue to being literally attached to them, from smooching in the snow to killing wyrms to trying to show the best of his past (cloudberries, wild parties) and hide the worst (basically everything else.)

And MC is having none of it. Even when they reciprocate, it’s from a cautious perspective, one that’s attracted to him but not fooled by him.

So he’s at a bit of a loss. You don’t remember my parties? You aren’t taken with my bravado? My incredible fashion sense doesn’t steal the breath from your lungs?

Now I’m getting a bit indulgent, thinking of my apprentice in particular. Ornata is blind, has always been blind, and isn’t concerned about nice shirts or pretty faces anyway. So for all Lucio’s preening and posturing, Ornata can see (hah) right through him. I’m sure you are handsome, my Count. The most handsome, the best dressed, the sexiest when covered in blood.

Lucio forgets. Every time, when he seeks validation, Ornata gives it to him--but never the way he expects or is used to. No sycophancy, no flattery, only teasing and soft, genuine affection. Your hands are warm. Your aura is glowing.

Kind of losing the plot here but you get it;;

Hey I wanna write smut instead of anything else I could be doing with my life lol

Thank you~!

1. The Basics. What is your character’s name? How old are they? How tall are they? Skin color? Eye color? Hair color? Gender identification?

Arsenal 30′s, 5′10″, light brown skin, green eyes, black hair, nonbinary (they/them)

Ornata 20′s, 5′4″, porcelain skin, cloudy blue eyes, silver hair, masc (he/him)

8. Romance. What is something that your character and their LI love to do together? How do they show affection?

When they aren’t getting into trouble on a boat or in a bar, Arsenal and Julian take most of their dates at home, enjoying each other’s company over tea/coffee and books. Lately, they’ve been practicing magic together, and Arsenal is endlessly proud of Julian’s progress. Big parties and grand gestures are few and far between; for the most part, a quick peck in passing or a “saw this and thought of you” trinket, book, or snack makes up their “I love you”s (not that they don’t say it plenty, too.)

Ornata and Lucio are very big on physical affection and will 100% make out anywhere and everywhere. Lucio loves giving Ornata gifts and compliments, and Ornata is happy to receive and return them. That said, Ornata’s quieter, truer shows of affection come in the form of talking: about the past, about the future, about the shit that Lucio is going to have to do and the fact that Ornata wants to be with him for it. “I think you’re sexy” and “I want to face our demons hand-in-hand” are both good.

10. WTF. Has anything just…weird ever happened to your character? Something that made them stop and go “What just happened?!”

Other than the entirety of the Prologue, Asra once glamoured them to look like each other. Arsenal Did Not Like That. They never got over the sight of Asra’s grin on their face, or the semi-phantom feeling of his floofy hair around their ears.

I don’t have any in-character, story-type stuff for Ornata but his original incarnation was a Literal Anthropomorphic Vampire Vampire Bat that started as a joke and somehow gradually became a small, blind aura-reader so there’s that?

18. Embarrassment. What is something really embarrassing that your character has done/said?

Arsenal thought they were going to die of embarrassment that time they got caught making out with Julian in Mazelinka’s bed.

Not sure it’s possible for Ornata to be embarrassed? Maybe the (1) time he tried to give a reading but the cards were facedown on the table (didn’t matter to him; the cards’ voices were clear, but the customer was Not Impressed.)
