RELATIONSHIP BUILDING Send 🌀 for my muse’s reaction to getting stuck in a storm with yours.
'I hate this. I hate this. I hate this.'
Soaked to the bone like poor stray mutts stuck out in the rain… wait. Luke and Pit were, or at least it started as a harmless drizzle, but the clouds kept rolling to the point it felt like the almighty Zeus himself was throwing a tantrum. He followed Luke to the nearest cave, uncaring if monsters dwelled here; it'd be a good excuse to blow off steam. Ivory wings rapidly flutter, picking up wind and dust as the Captain of Angels dries them out, shaking his head side to side - it was like a bird-dog drying itself out.
"H-Hey! What the hell are you doing?" Luke's voice rose in shock and embarrassment as he watched Pit unclip his toga. His face turned bright red, and his words came out in a yell.
"I'm getting undressed? No way am I wearing drenched clothes-icus; I'm gonna start a fire... hm? Well, duh, for our sake, but mainly yours cause unlike you, I don't get sick-icus. You'll get ill if you stay in those wet clothes and obtain natural body warmth. Pfft, what's the matter? Shy? Don't worry, I could keep you warm!"~
At least Captain Pit could make the most of it by teasing Luke. It made him feel a little better.

hollyhock: how strong is your muse’s ambition and what do they strive for?
kratos, quite literally, has a world destroying ambition and drive when it comes to those he cares about. simply put, throughout tales of symphonia kratos strives for the happiness of those he cared deeply for. this was first shown pre-symphonia ( during the kharlan war era ): in which he spoke against the king of tethe’alla to stop the war and the persecution of half-elves. another was when mithos lost martel and kratos sided with mithos, cruxis, and the twisted ideologies that his pupil had sprout forth in his hate and grief. finally, it shows in the atonement of his mistakes ( which is a major plot point for kratos and his overall characterization ): in how he takes the entirety of cruxis sins on his back to drift along with derris-kharlan to put an end to an era so to speak. there are no lengths that kratos will not go too ( and hasn’t done honestly ): when it comes to what he strives for.
goldenrod: does your muse believe in luck and where do they believe it originates?
kratos believes firmly in the messages of the old aselian gods—the teachings of the world from when he was simply a young human boy amazed by the way of the sword and dabbled in theater—he would wish on stars, try to find the end of a rainbow—that sort of thing. before the world made him so hardened and logic based ( though his emotions definitely still show ): kratos was definitely one who leaned heavily into luck and the superstitions said to enhance them. as most of his age, he believed the origin of all luck and/or fortune was a regifting of the positive energies one put into the world ( which would mix with the mana ): and be redistributed by the gods said to have domain over luck.
magnolia: describe your muse’s relationship with nature and the world.
kratos is very intune with nature and what he feels is how things naturally’ should be. he lives secluded in the woodlands, mostly lives off the land ( even with the abundance of modern conveniences ): and it could even be argued that with his godhood came with it an attachment to aselia’s overall growth and wellbeing—along with the great kharlan tree ( that is also a part of his beloved friend, martel ): he’s almost intertwined with the planet itself, for everyone he’s ever known and loved is buried within its soil—kratos has every reason to cherish the world, everything that it once was, currently is, and will be.
snapdragon: is your muse merciful?
to those that deserve mercy, yes. when looking at someone that has done ‘bad things’ ( including kratos himself ); kratos is one that will look at the circumstances of why those actions took place ( ex. the reasoning behind cruxis’ formation or mithos’ interpretation of martel’s last words in wanting an age of lifeless being ): there are very few decisions that kratos feels are undeserving of mercy except if it is the actions of those like kvar or any other holding the ideology of racism, discrimination, or downright cruelty with no desire to give remorse.
