Thank you for asking me these, darling! I’m answering with Johnathan this time :D
2. How does your OC show they love someone without words? Are they the touchy sort, with lots of hugs and cuddles, or do they have another, less obvious way?
Joni is not very good at speaking about his emotions in general, so he relies on other methods most of the time.
He gets quite touchy when he likes someone, something peculiar since he strongly dislikes being touched and having people too close. It gets funny for people who know him and can clearly see how different he behaves, and how much he actually enjoys the closeness of his lover.
Aside from this, he leans towards acts of service. He’s naturally nurturing, he likes forging small weapons and jewellery. It wouldn’t be unusual to receive a small token from him, one that’s probably handmade by the boi himself.
4. What would be the best present to give your OC? Who would most likely be the one to give it to them? What is their reaction to receiving it?
Materialistically speaking, it would be something useful. A pair of finely crafted daggers, a well-calibrated bow, a book about the starts (which he adores). He doesn’t mention his desires too often, so it’ll have to come from a person who knows him sufficiently to interpret the longing in his gaze on a particular object at the market :’D
Mentally speaking, however, support and closeness is what he craves. He’s felt quite alone since he has lost his friend and adopted brother to the hunters when he was young, and felt even more so when he became the Inquisitor.
His companions and Bull are all good at this, each in their own way. Of course, what your vhenan can offer you has a very special meaning.
He’s not good at showing what he feels, doesn’t know how to convey all the gratitude he feels, but ... sinking in a strong hug and knowing he’ll have the strength to face anything, together, makes him feel lucky. And loved.
