This is your excuse to infodump about Darrash to everyone
me when this has been sitting in my inbox to rotate evenly. slightly related to current conversation
i just think that darrash would run his hands through any hair or fur he can get his hands on. it's a helpful stim for both parties involved, easy soothing and comfort time and even skin-to-skin/fur time. he's a cuddlebug, he's all squishy in the emotions. he has a tendency to "purr" or "rumble", though it's usually a coo - having grown up with togorians and a togruta, they were his biggest points of comfort as a little kid and he wants to pass those on.
he is actually just so. loving. he deserves to be able to love. to hold someone in his arms and put his face in their neck and just be. no scares, no crying, no nothing. just having someone pressed tight to him, existing, and there's no time limit. no dwindling vacation time to count every moment instead of making every moment count.
and he's just so.. well, he tends to get really pouty if snuggle time is cut short by anything other than someone else joining snuggle time. with vector especially, he has a tendency to squish as close as humanly possible to vector if he feels like snuggles are gonna be shorter than forever-long. making a long string of grumblies, whinies, mumbles, making grabby hands and clinging to anything he can. sorry vector you are stuck there now.
which is ironic because of how snuggly tika is, but since she's a longfur cathar . she overheats easily if she can't wiggle and sometimes just wraps a tail around darr's ankle or his calf to keep him closeby. lest she pull out the claws and DIG!!!!!
AND LORDDDD DON'T TELL HIM THAT YOU ARE A STATIONARY SLEEPER. HE WILL LITERALLY BE ROLLING AND CLIMBING OVER YOU LIKE YOU'RE A DAMN JUNGLE GYM
