💘 What are the ways my muse says ‘I love you’ without actually saying it?
As an umbrella term for “love,” Anda generally feels comfortable leaning on people and brushing hair out of faces--small affectionate gestures. The closer Anda is to someone, the easier they can read their expressions and shifts in mood, too, and will often take appropriate action without being told to do so.
Example: Anda can tell between Waver being mildly annoyed and genuinely distressed without the other saying anything to them, empath powers aside. So if Waver is hurting (but not hiding in his room) they’ll generally be in proximity to him and do a lot of mundane tasks to make it seem like things will be normal, even in times of stress. They probably sit closer to him on the sofa, too, or lean on him while he does his own thing.
So if the loved one is often in Anda’s emotional environment, they’ll do whatever they can to keep the person happy through little gestures like the above, and kind of... attune to them emotionally.
Romantically, Anda is inclined to give soft kisses in places other than lips (fingertips/hands, a cheek, top of the head/forehead, shoulder if they’re leaning on someone.) They like to pull people close to them, too, and wrap an arm or leg around them if laying close to each other.
Physical intimacy is a big sign of trust for them, as Anda... generally doesn’t like people touching them. So if they’re allowing someone to physically get close (or if they get close to someone!) it speaks volumes.
tl;dr: If Anda loves someone enough they’ll tune into their emotional states, and are generally comfortable being in physical proximity to the person involved.
