ASK PROMPT : RELATIONSHIP & COURTING ANTICS ASKS
2. When they have a crush on someone, how do they let them know?
Ahnel would not let the other know , simply because they do not know how. They are not even certain if what they are feeling is a crush, or if it is but a strong albeit platonic ADMIRATION for said person. However, whether they are aware or not, there is a SIGN that will indicate their growing feelings : they will allow themselves to be physically CLOSER with the other ( not in the intimate or sensual sense ).
When interacting with anyone that is not an ANIMAL ( mortals are to be kept at arms’ length ), they will maintain a certain distance of four to five feet ( they will not mind either if others inch even closer, as long as they do not TOUCH them ). But unconsciously ( perhaps even not ), they will be at best only TWO FEET apart should they talk to the other. It may take a long while until they are willing to touch / let themselves be touched, yet it is already a big STEP.
A more subtle sign is that their speech will sound a little less formal, and the intonations become slightly more expressive. Their voice, by default, is breathy and gentle ( aloof yet interested ). More emotions ( unrestrained, unaware ) will lace into their voice once they feel that kind of AFFECTION for someone.
30. Would they leave the person they love if it meant saving their life/giving them a better chance at life?
Oh they would. Without a second thought, they would. For them ( their well-being above all other – such is the norm ), the ONE who managed to show them the capability to truly care for another than themselves, has complete importance. Their view on love is NAIVE ( humans are monsters and monsters are human ), hence the love they always provide is a love MOST SELFLESS ( yours and yours truly ; no such need to be mine ). Hence it hurts not if they need to separate ; if they love someone, it is not the existence of the relationship, but the other’s SAFETY that means most. Sufficient reason is needed to sway them, however Ahnel is sensible enough to evaluate with a clear mind ( the HEART slowly weighs heavier ).
