"what. do you want us to leave like. rainbow handprints. what."
this is just canon behavior ngl
LuZath questions for you!
22- what is the one thing they would change about their partner and the one thing they would keep
33- do they give and take from each other almost equally or is there an inequality
40- imagine them in their best state as a couple what would that look like for them
22) Lu would change Zath's impulsivity, but keep his quick-thinking resourcefulness. Zath would change Lu's emotional inaccessibility, but keep his controlling nature.
33) Ohhh, there is a deep inequality. Lu takes a lot from Zath, and Zath gives far too much.
40) Their best state as a couple... is far away from the Dark Brotherhood, for starters. Both would have to overcome hangups from their worst familial traumas: Lu reclaims his joy and interest for alchemical healing despite his lethal mistake with his mother, and Zath accepts that not achieving the high expectations his mother set for his life doesn't have to dictate his self-worth. Lu is an actual apothecary (not a front this time!) and Zath is a hunter/crafter. They still are weird as hell, but they manage to talk to each other about their needs and find an agreeable domestic arrangement. Life is good enough. They'll never get near a 100/100 Best Possible Outcome, and some people probably still disappear in the woods by their house, but it'd be far better than the insanity they're in now.

10- how vulnerable are they with each other and when are they the most open with e/o
13- what is it that they need the most from their partner and do they find it easy to ask for it
38- how does jealousy manifest in their relationship and how do they usually handle it
51- what is a boundary in the relationship that they would never cross
10) Not very. For Lu though, he rarely shows anyone other than Zath anything remotely close to vulnerability. Even showing it to Zath is often still beneath a masked layer. However, when they can't see each other well is when they allow themselves to be vulnerable. Serious conversations are mostly had in darkness/low light.
13) Zath needs love the most, and Lu needs loyalty the most. Zath finds it difficult and has never asked for it directly. Lu finds it easy and receives it constantly.
38) Zath gets jealous in a particular way. Basically, if he thinks he's being replaced, and specifically replaced as Lucien's lackey, then he'll start getting outright territorial and aggressive. And as far as I've worked out, Lu would be likely to get controlling if he feels Zath is no longer abiding by his wishes. Lu just ... doesn't really consciously acknowledge the depth of their relationship? So he wouldn't register it as jealousy.
51) Hard to say, because they do cross each other's boundaries a lot, and I can't say "never" without a massive asterisk. Additionally, Zath only really communicates his boundaries once they've already been crossed, and he doesn't communicate them well even then. THAT BEING SAID, for Zath, he doesn't ever talk with others about Lu's private affairs, and he doesn't ever make any reference to Lu's mother (... except for that one time and it didn't go well). As for Lu, he knows Zath's biggest anxiety is replacement and abandonment, so he normally tries to tread carefully there.
