@filostimi asked for headcanons about our muses, ft. noel + frey & leon ! !
since frey is always pushing herself so much for the sake of her family & the village, he tries to do whatever he can to help lessen her load. one of said things is making breakfast every morning ! both of them are early risers ( leon’s not a natural morning person, but he’s grown accustomed to waking early ), so while she & their monster pets tend to the fields, he’ll make a nutritious breakfast for the four of them, so it’s warm & ready for when she comes back. if there’s still work to do in the farm by the time breakfast is done, then he’ll head out & help once they’re all done eating.
his favourite thing to do is to play with her hands. it’s soothing, to be able to hold her calloused hands, run his fingers over her palm, intertwining her fingers with his & hold her close. he enjoys kissing them, as well as simply holding them with his own hands-- both things he’s willing to do alone or in front of others if she's not completely against it ( not to mention it’s extra points if she gets flustered ♡ ). sometimes when they’re laying down on the bed & are getting ready for the night, he’ll hold her hand as he falls asleep, simply because she’s within reach.
noel & leon ? practicing spells together ? more likely than one might think. its a fun afternoon activity for the two-- for leon to oversee noel’s spell practice, giving him tips on how to improve his skill, adjusting his aim whenever necessary. he won’t upgrade the the spells his son has until he thinks noel’s been able to master the basic levels of each one ( since the stronger it is, the more stamina it eats up-- & that can be fatal if used incorrectly ). once the training session is over, they often head to the bell hotel for a nice, relaxing bath, enjoying a nice after-bath chat with lin fa or xiao pai as they cool off.
not one night goes by that he doesn’t tell his son bed time stories ! or at least, until he grows too old to want them. he’ll sit by his bed, running his hand through noel’s hair as he recites stories of old-- be them actual bed time stories ( from both his time & today’s time ), or just stories about his old life & how it was back then. when he can’t recall any more stories, or simply wants to mix things up, he has fun inventing a couple new stories during the day; stories never heard before that he’ll create for noel’s entertainment.
