reth / villager interaction headcanons that I think about almost daily
• zeki is the one who taught reth how to pick locks. at first, he broke so many lockpicks that zeki started charging him for them. after that, reth improved staggeringly fast.
• when he started working for the cartel, he stocked up on so much coffee that when tish tried to open the kitchen cabinet, an avalanche of espresso beans spilled out of a torn bag all over the counter. she made him clean it up and immediately enforced a household coffee inventory limit of one (1) bag. he moved the rest to the storeroom.
• ashura was the first person to taste test the lettuce soup recipe. he didn’t want to hurt reth’s feelings, so he said it had a “very unique flavor” and reth assumed he liked it so much he put it on the menu without formally asking permission. ashura didn’t have the heart to tell him otherwise.
• jel desperately wants to redesign reth’s chef jacket, but he can’t bear the thought of it getting dirty and stained in the kitchen. tish catches him staring longingly at reth so much she thinks he has a crush on him, but he’s actually just lamenting over the fact that he’ll never be able to dress him properly without reth ruining his work.
- Canonly calls his partner Darling, and probably other things like sweetheart and honey. But he gets all embarrassed if his partner does the same. Like his partner calls him "My Love" his ears turn red and he has to avert his eyes.
- If its any sort of raining or snowing currently or the ground is still wet/frozen, he'll always offer his partner his arm to hold. He absolutely didn't once witness them eat shit out in bahari bay.
- Loooovvesss if his partner does activities with Najuma. From baking cookies to tinkering. It makes him feel so warm and fuzzy seeing his partner include themself in his little family.
- Insists on regular date nights. Schedules and plans around them. Him and his partner switch up who plans them regularly.
- Accidentally introduced his partner as his husband/wife/spouse to someone once and he wanted to throw himself out a window bc he was already considering marriage in his head but hadn't actually told anyone about it.
- Rather quickly makes space in his room for his partner to put their thing. Tho actually not only in his room just the whole house. Oh his partner tends to eat these type of snacks regularly? Guess thats gonna be a staple in his house now too-
- Whenever his partner comes visit him during work down at that stop at the pavel mines, he half-jokingly accuses them of distracting him from work. Tho his protests quickly stop at the offer of some smooches.
- Worlds tightest shoulders and back. So he loves a good backrub. Or like back scratches or his partner just rubbing circles on his back.
- Definitely snores. He's a middle aged father what do you except? Ofc he sores-
He also sleeps like a rock too. And he's a hugger with an iron grip. That man is holding onto his partner for dear life and they better be prepared to be flipped like a pancake if he rolls over in his sleep.
- If his partner sits in a chair "too far away" Hodari absolutely drags the chair over to him while his partners sitting in it. He does that in the Inn all the time.
It's a wild and emotional day for the hunter. He got his mom back, got a family reunion, a new brother and now the love of his life is unconscious
It's whiplash. One moment he's in happy tears seeing his family reunite in the infirmary when suddenly Subira charges in carrying an unconscious you calling for Chayne
He's never moved so fast or talked so much, demanding answers, already so emotional from previous events
Now he's camped out in the infirmary not just for his mom but for you, taking up the other bed and stressed out. Instead of being glad now he's grows more scared when you don't wake up
For the whole time you're in a coma he's almost convinced by getting his mom back, fate traded your life in for hers. No words from Chayne or his parents could sway him otherwise.
It took both of his parents, Tau and Chayne to kick him out of the infirmary and get some real rest.
Which is when you just had to wake up. You waste no time trying to find him. He doesn't notice until Tau perks up and starts barking, quickly running to tackle you.
He stares for a moment seeing you awake and giving Tau attention. Your usual stoic lover cries, hugging you way too hard.
This experience would stick with him. He's already lost one loved one. He didn't want to experience it again. Changes his attitude after this, rethinking all the ways he could have been better, done things differently, much more expressive and soft that he was before.
For a good while, he follows you around when he's not spending time with his recovering mom.
Reth
Just returned from another job from the cartel when Tish finds him, crying about you not waking up.
He doesn't get a clear explanation for how distressed she was but he sprinted towards the infirmary, staring in fear at the sight of you (normally running around, doing errands / wrapped up in a blanket, in front of a fire place with a book) now limp and unresponsive.
Demands a real explanation from Subira. Angry and frustrated that even after trying to keep you far away from his double life, you still managed to end up hurt and possibly gone.
Even with the reassurances he sits by your bed whenever he's not working, fidgeting nervously. Losing way more sleep. Can't even make you soup when you're not even awake to eat it. So he's out of ideas.
Really hates how familiar this feels. Sitting by a bed. Worrying over someone who wouldn't make it. Being so used to taking care of his previously sick sister.
Speaking of his sister, one of the people keeping him afloat. Nagging him to eat and sleep. Reminding him you would be upset waking up to a haggard Reth.
Ashura also checks up on him. With good fatherly advice that does reassure him for a bit.
Already lost his parents. He's feared for a long time failing his sister. He's used to thinking of the worst case scenario. Doesn't mean he doesn't panic. Or somehow blame himself.
Everyone notices the change. No more flirting or jokes. He quiet most of the time at the inn. It was clear his mind was somewhere else.
Wake up soon. He's making a ton of soup to make sure you're healthy and fine.
Jel
Easily the most emotional reaction to finding you in this state. He's a sensitive guy who worries a lot.
When he hears a commotion outside, he's curious to the reason. He leaves his shop for to see what was going on. Doesn't expect to hear about his soulmate rushed into the infirmary by Subira.
No one knows the reason why, just that they saw you being carried and limp in her arms. The normally calm agent frantic, calling for Chayne.
Had to be calmed down as he tried to get to you and understand the situation. When everything is sorted and Chayne rules nothing physical was threatening you, but spiritually. Which means it was up you to wake up.
Likely faints at the news.
Miserable. May as well be a Victorian grieving widow with a black veil. Glued to the chair by your bed, switching from sobbing into your blanket to going through the different phases of grief. (Bro already imagining crawling into your casket at the funeral, Chayne has to remind him your alive just unconscious)
Whatever professional attitude and Noble upbringing he tries to embody when dealing with people promptly vanishes. Has a dark cloud hanging above him at all times.
He has no real past experience like losing a loved one unlike Reth and Hassian so this is all new.
Praise to Tish and Reth dragging him to shower and eat something every now and then. Honestly dealing with a spiraling Jel is no easy experience.
Shop is promptly closed until you wake up, including all commissions as he couldn't possibly focus on that.
Your woken up to hear him sobbing over your bed. Automatically getting up to comfort him. He thinks he's dreaming for a bit until Chayne enters and begins checking you over. Once he realizes you're really awake, he crying again and crushing you into a hug.
Proceeds not to leave your side after this harrowing experience. He's distressed when you do have to leave to attend to matters in the Highlands.
It'll take a while until he gets over this and a lot of reassurances.
_______________________________________
Wished we got a reaction from the NPCs when romanced or even have a high bond with. Since their loved one or close friend is in a coma.
First post for Palia. Might do more since I'm bored having finished the last update and waiting for more story.
So do we think that after the explosion a romanced Reth would quietly sob at the player's bedside in pure terror and despair while he prays for them to wake up every day or.....
And do we think that over those three days, what little sleep he gets is interrupted by nightmares of having to lay them to rest before he could even become a man he feels is worthy of their love or.........
And do we maybe think these nightmares persist even after they wake up alive and well and he starts to feel sick any time they're away for more than a full day because he doesn't know if they're gonna see the Phoenix again and not come back this time or........
And the way this would affect his life depending on the state of his cartel debt? His deliveries and overall health suffering if he's still under their thumb, or him having all the time in the world to stew anxiously if it's been paid off? Delicious. Can we think that too?
AND if one or no pins have been exchanged. Imagine one of them holding onto a pin to give the other just for this to happen. It burns a hole in his pocket, whether it's the one he wants to give them, or the one they didn't get to suprise him with that clattered out of their smoldering clothes onto the clinic floor.
He's so pretty I need him ugly sobbing on screen. ♡
Here are of some of my personal sfw and nsfw palia headcannons!
*note: these ended up mostly being about reth, jel and hassian but i knew this going in, still tried to include everyone else tho!
SFW
- eshe is still in love with kenlis sister but was already promised to kenli, they both want to be together but cant
- badruu and delaila tried to have more kids after naio but were met with failure after failure, so they gave up, till auni and they were both really ecstatic and also worried since delaila was already near the age she shouldn't have kids anymore
- tish and kenyetta have a secret thing for one another, kenyetta likes silly blonds and tish loves how dorky kenyetta is
- jel was in relationships before the player but they never really worked out, most of them were flings or people his mother tried to get him with that fizzled out, he never got to the part of giving someone his pin before the player, which is why hes so happy to see you wear it!
- if the player were to get pregnant hekla would INSTANTLY know, that galdur was made for this stuff and as soon as she knows you are NOT save from her pestering and worrying. jina, on the other hand, is relieved to have a little more free time!
- majiri have tails, some are shorter, some are longer, some are more fluffy, but they all have tails. their tails look similar to cows tails, where they are thin and long with the razzle dazzle at the end
- majiris ears move like cats and are connected to their emotions!
- majiri also have fangs!! Long big upper fangs and smaller but still bigger than humans lower fangs
-majiri can purr
-coming back to the tails, warrior majiri get their tails cut off when they join the forces, their tails are a major weakness to them, so they get them cut off near the stem. they dont grow back
- majiri celebrate each other and their differences! The more unique you look the better! They live off of community and togetherness, so why shun each other for looking different? if anything they shun each other for straying from their path
- horses still exist they just became much MUCH rarer to come by, they became endangered sometime after humans went extinct
- majiri are actually just mutated humans! not all humans made it to the shelters in time, so the ones that were outside while everything happened got "corrupted" in a way cause of the echo and flow and over the span of thousands of years mutated into what we see today!
- jel is nonbinary and demi-sexual
-kenyetta strikes me as a demi-girl
- jel, naio, tish, auni and badruu have adhd
- reth, hassian, tish, hodari and najuma have autism
-yes i put tish in both shes giving serious audhd vibes, if reth has his soup then she has her tables!! Also bf kinda said she reminds him of me and PROMPTLY romamced her right after. i also have the audhd
- reth loves soup cause it was the only thing that gave him comfort and stability as a child and he wants to cling onto that comfort, its also cause soup is said to make you feel better when you are sick and he separately wanted to make tish feel better (also cause its SOUP)
- i feel like auni would know how to knit PURELY cause his mother taught him
everyones ages acording to me and bf
auni: 12
najuma, ulfe: 13
kenyetta: 19
naio, tish: 22
jina: 23
reth: 24

NSFW
- i believe in virgin reth before the player came around
- knotting is a thing. no i wont elaborate
-majiri heat season twice a year, grimalkins is every 2 weeks (i have 2 female cats i know this)
- their cum looks the same as humans
- DNA wise majiri and humans are very similair and would be compatible to have children if they so desired
- here are how i think the male datables dicks would looks like:
reth: medium size, pretty thick girth, got some veined here and there, not too much tho
jel: long and slender all around, very pretty, not very veiny either
hassian: long and thick!! very veiny, very pretty, got some scars from being too rough on himself a few times
naio: medium and slender! he got some veins here and there, nothing really to write home about tho
hodari: i think it would start out thinner at the base and get thicker the more you go up, decent size, KNOWS how to use it too
einar: ???? what
- tamala and hassian DEF atleast kissed before, she tried to initiate more but hassian is too much of a traditional man to do that before exchanging pins
- hassian strikes me as the kind of man who would want a good amount of kids, atleast 3 probably
- jel strikes me as the kind of man that's like "i came from a big family so i must make big family" SPEACIALLY since when you give him ur pin you can say that your are family now, he will take that to heart
- naio also strikes me as a family man, man strikes me like he would have a breeding kink, farm bois normally have those
- there are a group of weirdo humans that are trying to build their "cat girl utopia" by breeding with grimalkins... lets hope they dont succeed
- jel DEF has a thing for being tied up, i saw the art and fics, i agree. tie that man up PLEASE
- hassian would 100% take you in the forest, specially if you have been "scaring away all the prey" if you are a brat about it i can see him being a bit more rough w you to "put you in your place"
- idk if this has been explored yet but reth with a food kink? imagin him putting honey or crème all over you OR him and licking it off each others body's?? put syrup on his cock and lick it off and suck on it like a lollipop, please someone write this
- reth is def a switch!! he can be your teasing top OR your whiney bottom, man got VARIETY
- reth is also the type of man to fuck you in the storeroom on his 5 min break, tease and probe him while hes at work and he WILL dick you down in there
- i feel like jel would also be up to fooling around in the changing rooms, imagine you just stroll in, store is empty, but he has to stay downstairs to look after the shop? easy just jump in the changing rooms and have some fun, just hope noone catches you two >:3c
- i also feel like both reth and jel would be alright with getting a blowjob while at work, like you under the desk/bar going at em, just gotta try to keep quiet so no one suspects
- i feel like kenyetta would absolutely try to fool around somewhere her mother can easily find her just to see the shocked look on her face
- tish is giving me soft top vibes ngl
- kenyetta and naio DEF fuck in the stables/barn. kenyetta is the mean top to naios power bottom
- majiri reproduce like all the other animals, it doesnt matter what your born gender is, if you fuck you can get pregnant
- grimalkim on the other hand do NOT reproduce Like everything else and still required a bio male and bio female due to not being on earth that long to have mutated to be that way!
Not reaaaly nsfw but is sugestive and we are talking about sexual activities, so minors do not interact.
**English isn't my native language
Kenyatta: Pretends to be a domme. Is a brat!Sub that bends within 30 seconds. Baby Girl just wants to be loved by who she is. Main kinks -> praise, impact play and age play.
Reth (aka The love of my life): SubSubSub. Wants soooo much be a teasing brat. Fails completely. 100% good boy, just needs one glimpse at you to start waging his metaphorical tail. Main kinks -> pet play, praise and food play (obviously)
Hassian (aka my third love): Brat tamer!Dom, with a feet on the soft!dom side. He is a hunter and poet and I love the duality. Tease or defy him and he's ready to go. Likes the challenge. Will take you to your limit, but if you apologizes nicely hes giving you the best orgasms and aftercare. Main kinks -> bondage, overstimulation and orgasm denial.
Nai'o: Service Top!Sub. This boy is the living definition of Himbo and I'll protect him. Almost everything gets him going, revealing clothes, intense gaze, touches on bare skin, he gets flustered really easily, its kinda cute. Main kinks -> orgasm denial, exhibitionism and body worshipping (giving).
Tish: Switch. She cares, but also wants to be cared. Swings between soft!domme and bunny!sub. As domme she doesn't like brats, as sub she prefers a firm dominant to ground her. Main kinks -> pet play (as domme), sensory play (as sub) and roleplay.
Tamala: Hard!domme. Soooo mean, if you aren't into the hard shit don't romance her. Has a special room in her house, with lots of toys and acessories. Will colar you and spit in your mouth. Inside the room she is your mistress, period. Say your safe word and she's stopping imediatally, no questions, and running direct to aftercare. Main kinks -> degradation, slave play and shibari.
Jina: Sub, but very insecure. Prone to surpass her limits trying to prove her worth. Needs a soft!dominant who encorages e guides her in safe exploration. Main kinks -> praise, sensory play e role play.
Hodari (aka my fourth love): Switch, with a preference for dominance. Strikes me a tradicional!dom, just the right amounts of soft and mean. On hard days he slides into sub space and just needs to be pampered and get his head emptied. Very well behaved. Main kinks -> body worshipping, overstimulation and impact play.
Jel (aka my heart's vice-president): Service Top!Sub². You are his muse, he worships the floor you walk in any way you desires. Has a thing for dangerous things (like magic), so sex in the shop is a must. Will go down on you at any moment. Make him watch you masturbate and he is creaming his pants in minutes. Main kinks -> Voyerism, exhibitionism and shibari.
Subira (most dificul cause we didn't interact that much yet): Tradicional!domme. Likes to teach, is very patient but firm. Not a brat tamer, prefer well behaved subs, but don't flee from a challenge. Main kinks -> role play, orgasm denial and bondage.
Einar: Fisher. Knows what sex is, mechanically speaking, but didn't grasp the hole concept yet. Main kinks -> Fishing side by side, raise fishs together and talk about the singularity.
