what is your muse’s love language?
I love this question so much, I’m answering for all my characters.
Solenne: Quality time and gifts in equal measure. Because of her wealth, giving tends to be one of her favorite ways to express love rather than to receive it, although a unique gift, especially one that took effort to make or procure, can make her day. In general, quality time is how she likes to receive love, and it’s her usual mode of expressing her love for Idristan.
Michaux: Quality time! If he cares for you, he’s going to force you to put up with having him around. And surprising him with visits tends to a great way to improve his day, even if he pretends to fuss about having his work interrupted.
Mirette: Acts of service. She feeds and cares for a group of street kids in Limsa, for example, and she devotes her time and skill to teaching Idristan techniques that will help him manage his... issues. When people do thoughtful things for her, she gets so touched that she can barely contain herself.
Leon: Words of affirmation. He is quick to remind the person he loves of their best qualities, and will even go so far as to acknowledge the merits of his favorite enemies. But unfortunately, the reverse is also true - he has a very sharp tongue toward those he hates. Even more unfortunately, since he also longs for praise and affirmation himself, this has been a way in which his employer has manipulated him in the past.
Ariane: Acts of service are how she likes to express love. She is the helper in her family. She does clerical work for her father, helps her mother in her charitable projects, assists her youngest siblings in their studies, advises her sister Emilie on matters of fashion, and puts together care packages for her brother Jeremie, a knight stationed in the Sea of Clouds. Her favorite ways to receive love are words of affirmation and quality time.
Kjartan: Physical touch. Kjartan does not trust in words, possibly because he’s so adept at using words to obscure the truth himself. But touch is more straight-forward. He often touches people he feels comfortable with, and is happy to accept the same in return. This has not always been true. There was a time when he trusted touch even less than words, but his brother has had a profound influence on him in this regard.
Svala: I haven’t yet had the opportunity to RP on Svala, and so I’m not confident about her love language. Quality time would be my best guess for her, both when giving and receiving love.
Yves: As usual, Yves is the complicated one. Not surprising for someone whose personality is actually two diametrically opposed personalities awkwardly fused together. One side of him prefers to give and receive acts of service, particularly when those acts require bravery and sacrifice. The other side is not good at love in general. This is the side of him that actively chooses loneliness as a lifestyle, despite secretly abhorring it. Quality time is the best way to reach out to this part of him, and on a good day, he might return in kind.
