❣️, 💘, 💓!
hi, thanks for the ask! :) sorry it took me so long to get to it though, I've been way busier than I expected. I'm also totally making this up on the fly, since the ship is like. a week old. also sorry this is super long I'm on mobile so I can't add a Read More
❣️ When did your OC first realise they were in love? How did they react to the realisation?
Kallisto had a celebrity crush on the Pact Commander™ for a while, but the idolisation faded pretty quickly after meeting Efalynn and starting to work with her and the rest of Dragon's Watch. (don't ask me about timeline details I haven't figured that out yet) it took maybe a couple months for Kallisto to develop proper feelings for Efy, but she realised pretty quickly when she did, since she'd had a couple relationships in the past. her reaction was basically "yeah, that checks out". her love (both platonic and romantic) is won easily, and she has a lot to give.
Efalynn took much longer, both to fall in love and to realise it. 1) she's greyromantic so she'd never had a crush before, 2) she's been super stressed and busy with the constant threat of. yknow. the world ending. which as you might be able to guess, is not the best environment to figure out your feelings. and 3) she... didn't really like Kallisto at first? they weren't enemies, in fact Kallisto considered her a friend from basically day one, but Efalynn felt like Kallisto was trying to take her place in Dragon's Watch, and that it was a comment on her abilities. not the most rational, but she was in a bad place emotionally for almost all the story. I think Efy only realised after Icebrood Saga, when she finally got to rest (although that's not set in stone yet. timeline reasons) and her reaction was the fanfiction classic: the "oh. OH." ...which was quickly followed by a whole heap of nervousness about whether Kallisto liked her back and what she should do
💘 What do they love most about their partner(s)? What do their partner(s) love most about them?
Efalynn loves how protective Kallisto is. it's second nature for her as a guardian, and they both know Efy does Not need protecting. but she's been treating herself badly for a long time (not actively, more like not getting enough sleep, eating badly, throwing herself into danger when she could be more careful, taking on too much responsibility and refusing help. that kind of thing). so she really appreciates Kallisto taking care of her in a way that isn't overbearing or patronising. it's very comforting, and she isn't the only one Kallisto is protective over, so it's nice to see other people get that comfort too. Efy also loves Kallisto's practically unshakeable confidence and her sense of style
Kallisto loves Efalynn's enthusiasm and her curiosity when it comes to things she's interested in. she barely knows a thing about necromancy but she'll ask questions anyway just to watch the way Efalynn's face lights up as she gets talking. Efy was very serious, almost grumpy, for the majority of the story, so it's always great to see her enjoy something, and Kallisto can't help but be interested just due to how excited Efy sounds. she also loves Efalynn's strength. at first, it was just admiration for all the things she's accomplished, but after getting to know her, it changed to a huge amount of respect for the way Efalynn always gets up and keeps going because she knows she's helping people and that's what is most important. (also, her physical strength. Efy might be a necromancer but she uses a sword that's bigger than she is, her arms are fantastic)
💓 What is their favourite activity to do together ?
stargazing and cloudwatching. just taking a moment cuddled up together to sit and talk and relax. although at night, Efalynn usually ends up staring at Kallisto instead of the stars because "she looks so pretty when she glows! why would I look at the sky instead??" and Kallisto will get distracted when Efalynn starts making up some story about that cloud that looks a bit like a frog, watching her tell it with the sappiest smile on her face. (these bitches gay! good for them!)
in some nebulous post-canon time when they live together in the middle of nowhere, in a little cottage with a herb garden and a couple of cats, they bake. usually bread, always using something from the garden. there's something so lovely about taking the time to enjoy each other's company and having something delicious to show for it. (not counting the loaves they burned because they lost track of time while kissing oops)
