Lae’zel
Little one. Zhak vo'n'fynh duj—Source of my joy. Fearless. Fauntkin. Kit.
surprisingly gentle with you, in her own way, as if you were truly her kin
very protective when you’re in a little headspace
tries to not show it, but she absolutely loves whenever you call her familial nicknames.
she lets you practice sword fighting with her, although, a majority of the time she lets you win out of endearment, and never lets you use her actual sword. only sticks from the camp — you are a true warrior, fauntkin.
recites myths and tales from her own childhood to you, giving you insights of her own upbringing
helps you feel more tougher and confident when you're regressed
lots of forehead presses before she lets herself be vulnerable and hold you
tries not to be snappy towards you, remembering the vulnerability you feel
puts matching war paint on your face
Shadowheart
Dearest. My flower. My light. Lovely.
always soft spoken with you, any mistakes you make, will always be dealt with a knowing smile and a gentle tone
in scary areas, she likes to keep you close, in arm’s reach
joins you picking flowers, letting you put one behind her ear, as she does the same for you — there you go, lovely. pretty.
she likes brushing your hair for you before bed, along with letting you do the same to hers. she makes sure to be careful and use water if your hair texture needs moisture
she lets you help her make her hair white, a comfort to both of you
given her trauma and her own mother figure being a cruel Goddess, she would feel as if it were her purpose to be a gentle mother figure for you, making sure her misery would not continue through you
when you get a graze or a cut, she uses her healing and blessing powers to save you from tears
loves watching you play with scratch and joins in from time to time
Astarion
Darling. Sweet one. My love. Rose.
cares for you more than he’d like to admit
teases you for every little thing, just to make you giggle
very snobby and only lets you try the best food and the best toys, books etc
likes to stargaze with you to lull you to sleep
only picks the finest of roses for you, making sure to snip off all the thorns
was so afraid that you would get scared of him when it was revealed he was a vampire, but had a sappy cuddle with you when you made it clear you weren’t
isn’t too keen on you seeing him with blood on his skin, even if it’s a small dribble—just juice, darling, don’t fret.
however, if you don't wanna be left out on his vamp antics, he'll pour you a glass of cranberry juice so you can feel involved
when you two are playful, he'll chase you around the camp, saying he'll eat you when he catches up, but really, he's just tiring you out for bed
personally, i think you being in a little headspace would make him feel safe and he would even regress a bit sometimes with you, hesitantly. that shared innocence is so gentle and safe, i think he’d finally feel like a weight was off his shoulders
he had feared the sinking feeling he would experience by being back in the streets of baldur’s gate, but seeing you squeal and get excited over different things in shop windows, made all his anxieties and paranoia go away
Gale
Sweet thing. Kiddo. Pet. Lovebug. Starlight.
likes to think of himself as a cool uncle, but isn’t opposed when you use nicknames that are a different familial role
conjures up your favourite animal or insect with his magic to cheer you up when you’re upset
also uses his magic when he reads you bedtime stories, projecting the images of the scenes in purple mist, making things more fun and whimsical for you, which ultimately helps you get more comfy
lets you style his hair, even with hair-clips and bows
after you style his hair, he refuses to change it until it’s bedtime. he will be walking around the goblin camp with pigtails, sometimes just to see you giggle — hey. what’s so funny? do i happen to have something on my face? what? what is it, lovebug?
wouldn’t want to alarm you when he needed a magical item, but your head laying on his chest while you nap makes it all better
likes watching you babble with tara, how she sits on your lap, allowing you to pet her fur and feathers
when its time for bed, he’s just as clingy as you are! maybe even more clingy!! he likes making sure you’re all cozy in bed, holding your favourite plushie before he snuggles with you, lulling both of you to sleep
Wyll
Little one. Angel. My love. Lamb. Cherub.
like lae’zel, he’d be quite protective when you’re in littlespace
patient and understanding, will never rush you or be stern
quite affectionate, hugs, headpats & kisses on your forehead and the back of your hand. he's a gentleman!
tells you all the stories of his battles and triumphs, jestingly getting bashful when you muse about how brave or heroic he is—it was all worth it to end up by your side, my love.
similar to astarion, he was quite fearful you would be scared of him after he was changed into a devil, but held you so close when you expressed that you cared for him all the same
lets you dance with him when he does, it’s always good to have a partner
he lets you wrap daisy chains around his horns
tuts if you ever slip up with swear words, but he smiles warmly nonetheless
fencing practice! but like lae'zel, you only use sticks to stay safe
has a bedtime for you, musing soft words as you whine about wanting to stay up with him, and of course, you give up and fall asleep as you’re cradled by him
Karlach
Soldier. Sunshine. Kiddo. Rascal. Champ.
likes to carry you on her shoulders, no matter your big age. you’re still small to her, no matter what
she trusts you with clive
she lets you nap in her tent, holding you close as you hold clive between the two of you
big bear hugs that lift you off the ground
absolutely loves making sandwiches for you, cutting them in different shapes. from hearts to dinos, always making sure to cut off the crusts (unless you like them, of course, they can be a lil snack on the side!)
you two have a nightly routine before bed of running from the set-up fire in camp, all around everyone’s tents, back to the fire again. whoever loses is a smelly toad. of course you always cheat and get a head start, of course she lets it happen. — okay. y’ready? three… two—wait! soldier, cheating again?! aghh.. you know you’re faster than me!
like astarion, she lets herself regress a bit around you. it’s those moments that somehow cool down her burning heart
gets just as excited and hyper as you, if anything, she makes you even more hyper
if you want a snack heated up, she’ll immediately just hold it in her hands until it’s warm enough, not too hot
you want warm milk? no prob! she’ll just hold your glass until it’s the temperature you want
Halsin
Little one. Sweet child. Dove. Flower. Cub.
he’s already naturally like a caregiver so you’re in good hands!
very affectionate, lots of gentle hugs and forehead kisses
collects safe berries from the forest and prepares them for you as snacks
transforms into whatever animal you would like for nap-time snuggles. from a small cat to sprawl in your arms to a large grizzly bear for you to have as a huge teddy bear
he encourages the familial nicknames you give him, feeling a sense of purpose when you call him dada/papa/baba
he loves carving wooden animals for you, mainly your favourite animal/s. ducks too, of course
he, like karlach, also likes carrying you on his shoulders, but also in his arms too. but you’d always be small in comparison to him anyway
speaking of which, whenever he sees you after a day or even a few hours, he immediately picks you up in his arms, spinning the both of you around—oh, dove, how i missed you.
keeps all the pretty rocks you excitedly gift him
when you wake up from a nap in the grass, theres always colourful flowers all around you, ones that he conjured, just for you!
Minthara
Little one. Child. Alvassun—Moon. My web.
grumpy, but secretly smiles at you when you turn your back
very protective of you, will make sure nobody even gives you a side glance
a strict caregiver, yet cackles at bad behaviour you exhibit. it’d be a lie to say she does not encourage it
muses about her kin and their wars, a fond smile rising on her face as she sees the curious and mischievous sparkle in your eyes
oh, she also sword fights with you, but lets you try out one of her lighter swords. she trusts herself to not let anything bad happen. besides, the thought of using sticks makes both of you laugh. maniacally.
if a spider gets inside, she will coo comfort to you as she brings it outside / if you have a liking for spiders, she lets you hold it, speaking on it’s species and what they mean to her people
in moments of gentle vulnerability, she lets you thread your fingers through her white locks—not too rough now, alvassun
gets you all the sour sweets you like
usually collects some plants/flowers from the underdark just to gift them to you
