9, 26, 49, and 74!

thanks so much for the asks!! @saylofwaterdeep (sorry it's so late!!)

9. If there weren't enough seats, how would they sit? One on the other's lap? One on the armrest? One on the floor in front of them?

On account of Gale's aching knees, he gets the chair lol. Gale would try to be a gentleman and stand, but Tavv is quite persistent and a tad younger, and maybe a bit restless lol. She likes to lean roguishly against the wall and survey the room for threats instead. Or just look mysterious and mildly menacing behind Gale. If she needed or wanted to sit, she'd just sit on the floor, she's a pretty casual and unpretentious, down-to-earth sort of person who doesn't have much use for formality (although she'd learn if needed to mingle with whatever society Gale mixed in, though that's not her preference).

26. Who gets jealous most often? How does their S/O deal with that?

I'm putting my money on Gale being more jealous here. Tavv is pretty secure; I think she'd only feel jealous if Gale seemed to genuinely be interested in someone else, and she knows his heart too well to worry about that. Although if someone flirted with Gale, and he was having trouble discouraging them or seemed uncomfortable, she's happy to swoop in and play the devoted partner to scare them off. Actually, she might be jealous if Gale started spending a lot of time with someone else, presumably platonically, on a regular basis, and would probably ensue some roguish shenanigans to stalk him and figure out what was going on. But more likely, she'd talk to him about spending quality time together, and just communicate that she felt like this friend (or even his work, maybe) was taking time away from her, from them together, and how that made her feel.

For Gale, he'd probably be slightly more jealous of people paying attention to Tavv than vice versa, mostly because Gale is the sort of person to believe his beloved is the most wonderful and magnificent person in the world and therefore everyone must see that and want them, too. Tavv isn't a very flirty person, however, nor does she really encourage that sort of behavior, so I don't think Gale would really ever have much to worry about. Plus, Tavv is fully capable of glaring intimidation should the need arise. But if Gale felt jealous, I think he'd likely approach and be openly and possessively affectionate to Tavv, menacing as a wizard if he needed to be. I don't think either of them mind the other being a little possessive or affectionate.

49. Is there a word or gesture that makes either of them melt?

So, my headcanon is that Gale has a soft spot for Tavv's purple fiery eyes (they are literally purple fire it's so cool!). So probably her looking at him tenderly would undo him. But also, I think Tavv can be very startlingly sweet, sincere, and tender, and I think Gale is really touched by kind words. So Tavv being reassuring, and caring, and affectionate, I think that would do him in.

Tavv, on the other hand, I think it's Gale's voice for her. His voice when it's soft, and low, and tender, and almost on the edge of breaking. Sincere and kind, whispering words of love and reassurance. I think he also has a habit of kissing her horns, just, like casually, and in passing, and while holding her, and that kinda touches her. I think when they first got together she was worried about him being a bit freaked out by tiefling anatomy, as a human, and like the little mini wings with spikes on her shoulder blades and the horns and ridges and tail being a bit much for him, but naturally Gale was moderately delighted and curious instead, and now makes a bit of a point of showing those parts a little extra affection and reassurance.

74. Who's more likely to bail who out of jail? Would they give the other one shit for it?

Okay, so for starters: Tavv would certainly commit a crime, but Gale is WAAYYYYYY more likely to get caught. So upon bailing Gale out of jail (oh my gosh so many rhymes lol), Tavv would be chastising him not for the crime part, but for getting caught. Like, have you learned nothing from watching me??? Be more sneaky next time!!!

Also, I think Tavv is more likely to commit a crime like theft or grand larceny or breaking and entering, a more classic, physical crime, while I think Gale is more likely to do something grand and serious like nearly breaking the planes or destroying a city with some magic spell gone awry. Or from having shady black market deals for special ingredients, or accidentally being friends with or discussing dangerous/classified arcane theory with the wrong people because they had interesting ideas.

However, it's possible they might both end up in jail together after a night on the town, complete with drunk and disorderly, disrespecting officers, eluding law enforcement, unruly use of magic, and possibly arson.

Also if Tavv gets thrown in jail, she's probably escaping before Gale has the chance to bail her out.

I...might have to add some of these to the fic idea list. It's a fun concept XD
