How about the levels of growls? For example:

When Swiss, or Aether growl it sounds like a jaguar's growl, or a Lion

When Dew growls it sounds like a very deep-toned housecat

When Mountain growls it sounds like a rockslide

oooooh

sometimes i'm not sure swiss can growl, like he can, but it's forced and choppy and doesn't really have the effect it's supposed to

if he starts laughing like a hyena though, that's when you know you're in trouble

Welcome back!

How about "Aww baby.. come here"

💙🙏🏼

Ifrit wraps strong arms around the fragile ghoul in front of him. He holds on tight, something in the back of his mind telling him he's the last thing holding Zephyr together, the closest thing they have to bones and ligaments and blood at the moment. He's the warmth and the strength Zephyr needs in times like these.

He doesn't need to talk more than that anymore, doesn't need to do more than run gentle palms from the tips of their fingers, up their arms, behind their shoulders and back. He stops at each place that has Zeph whining, even the littlest touches too much on their swollen and bruised joints, and kicks up the heat in his palms to soothe.

Zephyr melts into him, the weight of having to walk too much even with his crutches, and knowing Ifrit will hold that weight, their weight, for them, has a certain release past just taking the pressure off of their knees and shoulders. He picks them up in a bridal carry, making sure to kick up the heat in his whole body. The relived sigh Zephyr lets out pains and soothes Ifrit equally. He picks up his pace towards the air ghoul's room.

It takes longer than he'd like, but they both collapse in Zephyr's bed soon enough. They curl around Ifrit immediately, bullying the fire ghoul into being the big spoon so he can spread his calming warmth through their back and hips. Ifrit scoffs, a little game they've played since they met, but hides his smile with a kiss on the crown of Zephyr's head.

Nothing else is said. Nothing needs to be said, not when Ifrit can tell Zephyr is falling into the most satisfying sleep they've had in what has to be weeks, maybe even months, and he swears he'll be here every night for Zephyr if it means he gets to see him relax, smell the wildflower scent rolling off them in contented waves. Nothing seems better than staying here, in their bed, forever.

So here's a vocal stim that I personally do that the ghouls would definitely do. I have a floofy Black cloud of a cat who is the chattiest thing you've ever seen and I've picked up chirping and trilling from her. I do it all the time 🙃🙃

My point is that I bet the ghouls would chirp or trill without a specific context or reason.

yes they absolutely would

rain chirps when he gets really into a book and forgets where he is

cumulus trills when combing through phantoms rats nest of hair

dew trills and purrs exclusively as self soothing, but if you asked him about it later he's tell you he's fine (babygirl lies)

Octo! Is puppy Swiss a thing? I'm intrigued....

In my headcanon typically Swiss doesn't interact with the puppy stuff but now you've made me think so we'll see what happens

but a looooong time ago, before i left for the summer someone (i feel so bad i can't remember or find the post) started a debate over which ghouls were "puppy" (ie had puppy energy) and which ghouls were "kitty" and swiss obviously had puppy energy and once i actually get the last of these ficlets up i will use that against him >:)
