For the shipping meme~ #11 for Maraas, #13 for Varlen and #17 for Hanin. Bonus #19 for any if it applies.
11 MARAAS: how long does your muse have to know someone before they decide to ask them out?
Honestly, not too long, because he’s always one to ask someone to go out for drinks with him (and if that means as a date? all the better). It’s more about overcoming his laziness than anything else. If he thinks someone is good company and wants to get to know them better, he’ll have no qualms asking them out. If you mean asking them out in a more serious fashion, then that might take a bit more ‘get to know them’ work on his part (but again, nothing super long or involved because he’s not one to umm and ahh and fret over something).
13 VARLEN: how easily would your muse get over a bad breakup?
Varlen is 100% a Dramatic Moper. He will sigh heavily as he leans on a balcony or gazes out a window. He will absently braid the ends of his hair while sprawled over a futon, murmuring about how much nicer it is when someone else does it for him. He will pluck a flower from the ground, smile to himself, then sigh and toss it aside because he has no one to give it to anymore.
Admittedly, a lot of the theatrics are probably to mask the fact that he really is hurting. It’s a lot easier to do those kinds of performative acts than it is to truly admit that you feel utterly crushed by the loss of something.
17 HANIN: would your muse forgive their partner for cheating on them?
In general, no. Hanin’s all about trust, and if he can’t even trust his partner when he isn’t by their side, actively observing them, then that’s not a relationship he wants to be in. However, circumstances can be taken into consideration, but at the end of the day, it’d still be a very big hurdle for him to emotionally overcome.
19: Is there someone your muse has a crush on, but who you don’t actually have a ship with?
Well we all know Ralon has a big ol’ crush on Hanin, but I don’t actually ship them together at all (for a number of obvious reasons). In truth, Ralon doesn’t even ship himself with Hanin - he likes the idea of it a lot more than the reality, and genuinely wants to keep it that way (because his imagination is already just so much better than anything Hanin could actually offer lol).
Maraas 100% has a crush on Vivienne but is also like ‘she would be way too much for me to handle’ so he is content admiring from a distance. His laziness/lack of ambition would be a deal-breaker for her anyway, so it’s just as well.
