How would the ROs react if for instance, they got home after a bad day while being in an equally bad mood. MC noticed this but as someone that’s more stoic and deadpan, they evidently didn’t quite know what to do. So in a poor attempt to comfort the ROs, MC just hesitantly walked over to them, then proceeded to petted the ROs softly on the head and said “there, there” with a complete straight face?
Archer: is really empathetic so knows exactly what your gesture means. Sighs, nuzzle their head in your neck and thanks you. It does help them a lot. Would offer a massage to help you relax as well. And if the massage leads to other things, they're perfectly ok letting your frustration out in another way.
Mishra: would act annoyed, say they're not a dog, but if you try to stop it they'd catch your hand and tell you they didn't tell you to stop. Would be petted for a little while, awkwardly stand up when they feel better and try to pretend this never happened. Would come back with your favorite food to thank you and show you support.
Botha: at first, they are unsure how to react and freeze. They can recognize your attempt but it doesn't make them feel better. After taking a deep breath, they'd take your hand in theirs, and hold it for a while. Maybe even kiss it if they're feeling bold. They are very grateful for you, and want to give you some comfort as well since you both feel shitty.
Nezha: Doesn't even question it and accepts the gesture. They have enough energy and are talkative enough for the both of you. They would immediately launch into a tirade to talk their feelings out as you pet them. Would talk about everything that made them feel shitty that day, and complain for you if you don't. When they're finally finished, they do feel a lot better. Would spend time with you after that, doing whatever you want together (I imagine MC and Nezha together in the way toddlers parallel play lol)
Smith: would be too much into their bad mood at first to appreciate you. There, there? Did you want to anger them even more ? Are you actually serious ? Then, they look at your face. You are actually serious. A smile breaks on their face. You're seriously trying to cheer them that way. They end up laughing uncontrollably because it's very you to do that. Would feel a lot lighter after. I imagine MC would feel slightly embarrassed because their efforts worked but backfired on them? Smith would like seeing your embarrassed face. "You're upset, MC? Maybe I should pet you". They're definitely feeling better.
