You know the classic 'would you still love me if I was a worm?' question? I have been thinking about how each of the guys in the arc one couples from wof, would respond to their love interests presenting the 'would you still love me if I was a worm?' question, and this is what I've concluded.
Arc One Clay would not pass this test. TDP Clay is notoriously bad at figuring out the intentions and implications of people's words, especially when it comes to anything romantic in vibe. He'd be blindsided by the question, and have no clue what the expected response would be. By Arc 2, Clay would be way more prepared to answer this kind of question from Peril, and he'd probably say something super encouraging about how he cares about her, and that she doesn't need to worry about it.
Riptide would simply respond with 'yes, I would still love you if you were a worm', because he knows that the reality in which Tsunami is a worm is not real and is never going to be real, but the reality where she gets annoyed because he answered wrong is real. Also, Riptide is an incredibly unfazed dragon in general--I think he would take it in his stride if Tsunami was suddenly turned into a worm.
Deathbringer would go to great lengths to clarify that Of Course he would still love Glory if she was a worm. She'd be a beautiful worm. He would cherish that worm. He'd go to such great, dramatic, over-the-top lengths to reassure her of this that she'd roll her eyes so hard about it (note: I seriously doubt Glory would ever raise the 'would you still love me if I was a worm' question, but we imagine that she has for the purpose of discussion).
Starflight...I do not think Starflight has it in him to handle hypothetical questions very well, and I imagine it would go something like this:
"Would you still love me if I was a worm?"
"Fatespeaker, why would you ever be a worm?"
"I don't know. But would you still love me if I was one?"
"You're never going to be a worm. This is a very stressful hypothetical over a situation that will never happen!"
"You don't know that. An animus dragon might get so annoyed at me that they turn me into a worm. I'm told that I can be very annoying."
"If you somehow turned into a worm, well, I'd still care about you of course, but I can't accurately predict how I'd respond in the situation, especially with such limited information? Can you still talk as a worm? Is the worm state permanent and--"
"Most people would just say 'yes', you know."
"It's all about the NUANCE..."
Fatespeaker absolutely knows and loves that Starflight is such an overthinker though, and she accepts this as his way of demonstrating that he cares about her enough to take a nuanced approach to the possibility of her turning into a worm.
(I also now have a version of this with the girls)
