(`･ω･´): What does your muse completely gush over? (Also asked by @rokachan and @thegirlswhoentertainffxiv)
Outward displays of enjoyment or happiness such as ‘gushing’ over something are rare for Cyril. He doesn’t find it attractive, particularly with his station and the way he believes it appropriate to carry himself in accordance with it. However, he will occasionally get excited about little topics in conversations, and while maybe ‘gush’ is not the most accurate word, he will ramble on briefly about the things he loves. If you get him talking about magitek, for example, he’ll carry on for quite a while.
The other alternative would be poetry. It’s very, very rare for him to recite it upon request - though it does happen (usually with lovers). The far more likely alternative is finding him late at night, either pacing the upper decks of his ship, or wandering the more dimly lit corners of the street - sometimes he’ll recite poetry very quietly to himself when he thinks he’s alone. And, if not interrupted, he’ll go on for some time doing so, usually until sleep finally overtakes him and he retires for the night.

⊂二二二（ ＾ω＾）二⊃ : Does your muse like to cuddle?
Yes. He adores it. But Cyril rarely really indulges in that kind of physical affection. Even if with someone he’s quite smitten with, rough behavior comes far more naturally to him. He instinctively likes to grab, grope, and manhandle. This being the case, softer, gentler behavior is usually reserved for very quiet, tender moments that are few and far between with him.
With lovers he is very, very tender in his spoken affection and his non-sexual mannerisms (such as kissing someone’s hand, or escorting them on his arm, or offering generally reassuring little touches here and there) - but his bedroom behavior is most often far more passionate and far more domineering. Even very sleepy, lazy moments will see him being more demanding than sweet. His sweetness comes from his words, not his actions.
If in perhaps a very sentimental mood - and extremely close with whomever is sharing his company - he delights in simply resting his head on someone’s lap and letting them comb through his hair with their fingers. He dislikes coming across as needy, but even he has his moments. Most likely scenario, he has to be drunk, depressed, or both, to let someone cuddle or comfort him in such a way.
(ﾟ∀ﾟ) : If your muse was a drug, what kind would they be ?
Chloroform.
But probably MDMA (Ecstasy). It’s known for producing feelings of increased energy, pleasure, emotional warmth, as well as distorted sensory and time perception. It also triggers hormones that affect sexual arousal and trust. The release of large amounts of serotonin reportedly causes emotional closeness, elevated mood, and empathy.
These are all feeling that Cyril tries to instill, both in partners and prisoners. Especially trust and closeness. In his partnerships, he values honesty and mutual respect, and believes that these traits manifest in displayed trust and a certain - sometimes blunt - forwardness with one another.
In his relationships with slaves, they are of course violently conditioned to always, always tell him the truth - doing any less will see them severely punished. He creates this euphoric, safe space for his slaves where, if they do exactly as he orders, they can bask in the closeness and illusion of a relationship, rather than subjugation.
