💕: how does my muse express their feelings? do they do through small but meaningful gestures, or through bold declarations?

💕: how does my muse express their feelings? do they do through small but meaningful gestures, or through bold declarations?
— It’s complicated to answer this, because as much as Gale is an insatiable, hedonistic little gremlin, he is actually very afraid of committed love (maybe even more than Ancel haha). Whereas Ancel is capable of entertaining the attempts at expression, Gale really tends to hold back when it comes to people he has legitimate feelings for, apart from maybe saying something sweet or performing a passive, yet meaningful gesture.
If he ever managed to get past those fears and dedicate himself to one person, Gale would eventually let loose and become a genuine sweetheart. For every Lominsan-curated vulgarity he boasts, he offers a heart-bleeding act of sentiment in kind. He’s not great at gift-giving, but he will give gifts. He’ll offer massages, intimacy, and tease them affectionately as the two hold one another. His love language is almost a combination of bold and subtle, in a way - to scarcely declare his love outright, but to enthusiastically challenge the chef who dared to serve his beloved an undercooked dodo.
