//smell like?
the musk that marks his entry is a combination of sweat from his humid environment, sea-salt from the bay's breeze rolling in and getting caught in his fur, a faint mix of fire-flowers and the smoke that comes with handling them, and an assortment of flora scents depending on what he's gotten into and what spores are in his fur for the day - usually honeysuckle since they grow around the door of his treehouse an can graze his shoulders when he emerges.
//hands feel like?
The backs of his hands and knuckles are rough and calloused from wear and tear as they typically bear the brunt of his weight during frontal movement. Where each finger meets palm, a calloused bump sits from repeated physical tasks such as lifting weights or swinging from branches or rock faces. The rest of his palms are soft and smooth since they're so often protected curled up in his fists. If he cups your face with his hands, it's usually his palms since they're more comfy.
//usually eat in a day?
"Hey, nerds. Welcome to what I eat in a day as a freaking STUD MUFFIN looking to bulk up for whipping major arena ass - So I start the day the second I wake up with about 10 bananas. I got to get some sugar in to wake me up somehow!
Then I follow up with some breckie - usually half a whole watermelon I turn into a bowl and then load it up with some coconut yogurt and whatever fruit hasn't gone off yet. And YEAH, I eat the whole bowl, rind and all. Just swallow the whole thing to assert your dominance.
For second breakfast, I like me a few banana nut muffins soaked in pure coconut oil. Yea, just dip that sucker all the way in until it looks soggy and boom! Calories! Wash that shit down with a gallon of coconut milk.
So we need to get some greens in now...for health. Lunch is a big gorilla salad with every single veggie available, and I make it into a little jungle dioramas with a volcano in the center that I just stuff full with hummus and hot sauce 'cause that shit's fireeee.
Mid afternoon - we need to start our pre game so let's order several martinis to work up an appetite and have some bar snacks! Sprouted coconuts are great and cronchy. And maybe some fresh off the fryer plantain chips.
Dinner is a massive bowl of lentil pasta with pesto sauce and asparagus tips and a side of garlic steeped coconut sprout. Whether it's a drink my ass off night or not, you know I gotta get some slow-churned coconut cream to cool off. The best flavor is pistachio, sorry Candy. Oh yeah and then I might eat some nuts and fall asleep." (Pun maybe or maybe not intended.)
//have a good singing voice?
Growing up, DK very much enjoyed music and he had quite an angelic voice back then. Granted, some please your dad life choices and focusing more on fighting and king-in-training duties means he hasn't exactly indulged in much of the practice lately (oh and puberty - that sort of changes a few...voice related activities). Though he can and will get shit-faced tipsy and croon out some music when he's feeling good and nostalgic, he can and will without hesitation initiate a rap battle, especially against the foes he faced in the past that liked to randomly start singing out of no where during a dispute.
//have any bad habits or nervous ticks?
His bad habits center around substance abuse. He's intrigued by flora to a degree - on one hand...he does find some flowers nice to look at and smell, but on the other, he enjoys experimenting with jungle plants in the sense of - which ones are the most fun to smoke and get a high off? He also tends to partake in binge-drinking if he's having any booze because of his massive weight and size, it takes quite a bit to get him tipsy. Then when/if he keeps going, he can end up making some...questionable choices when going home with someone for the evening.
Nervous ticks include kneading his knuckles into the ground (making biscuits), twirling his hair around a finger absentmindedly, lifting the fur up on the backs of his shoulders and then leaning over to furiously lick them back down.
//usually look like/wear?
Nothing unusual - just brown fur and a red tie with his initials sewn into the end of it. He also 'wears' a type of magic (mainly just casting it all the time without realizing - like sucking in your gut all the time) called modesty magic so he doesn't have to wear pants in public.
During special royal occasions in which Cranky has to appear and bring his son along, DK has to (begrudgingly) don the sacred garbs of the Jungle Kingdom's royal family. It just consists of a crown smaller but like Cranky's, and an agbada-like garb. Thinking white/navy or navy/gold.
//is your muse affectionate? How so?
Traditionally - no...he tends to show his like for others by more rough or physical means such as putting someone in a wrestling hold, booping a snoot, or otherwise teasing someone. He gets flustered when trying to do anything that's overtly PDA.
As for familial affection, he likes to be very loud and embarrassing and over the top about how 'cool' someone is to fluster them on purpose. But he also shows his affection towards family by adventuring and bringing them gifts back that he knows they like.
//what position do they sleep in?
Mainly he likes to sleep on his side in the floor and use his own bicep as a pillow as he just balances in place and snoozes off. If he's cold, he'll flip over and tuck all his limbs under himself and nearly roll up into a ball, but with his chin flat on the ground.
// could you hear your muse in the hallway from another room?
If he was whispering, you'd hear him. His whisper is an inside-voice.
