How about 'sleeping' and 'hot beverage' for the ask game forrrr.. Shane and Manuel

💤 SLEEPING - do they fall asleep easily? what helps them sleep?

Shane will definitely be one of those who fall asleep easily. He has so much energy in the day, with blacksmithing and pranking people, once he's had a full dinner and maybe some beer, he'll fall asleep right away. If he's really tired, he'll fall asleep at the dinning table and Manuel or Gherry would be the ones to carry him back to his bed.

Manuel, on the other hand, takes a while to go to sleep. While he does fall asleep easily, being a Fire Elemental and all, he can't go to sleep until his flames are safely extinguished. If it was a really bad for him, it might take him hours before he can sleep, like until 2am or so. It's why Nimbus, an Air Elemental, will help fan down Manuel's flames little by little until it's safe enough for him to lie down.

☕️ HOT BEVERAGE - do they prefer hot or cold drinks? what is their favourite drink?

Shane loves to crack a good ol' cold one with the boys, but he also will take a hot apple cider when he's sick and misses home a little.

Manuel will take anything hot, but that doesn't mean he'll say no to a cold drink. However, it has to be a specific drink made by Zane, since you would not want to accidentally douse a Fire Elemental's fire by accident. It's a Water Elemental Drink known as a "Icy Cold One", which is basically ice cubes, really really cold water and then mixed with a powder fruit packet. Manuel usually likes pineapple or green apple in his drink.

Oddly timed ask (maybe?) but how silly would Manuel and Shane get when they get to know someone? I imagine Shane getting really silly and jokey after a while of knowing someone.

Ashkie, Ashkie, Ashkie...SHANE IS THE SILLY TROUBLEMAKER–

You would not believe how many times Shane and Manuel, the troublemaker duo, would be silly with everyone in the clan. I pretty much think Shane had undiagnosed ADHD and playing tricks and pranks was his way of dealing with that extra energy. Manuel saw that and instead of telling him to stop, joined in the fun with his fire powers.

Obviously, if they are dealing with other merchants and potential clients, Shane and Manuel have to dial it back and it's usually someone like Zane and Violin who have to watch the two. Mainly Violin was the person Shane liked getting silly with, after the two settled their spats.

Other silly men in the clan include Mic, Accordion, Levi (master prankster), and Sparks. And sometimes, Frankie (the creator of the concept of pranks, do not test him)

But back to the question: If it's someone they really get to know, then they will be silly and fun with them instead of being jerks (which is mostly Shane's case, Manuel is just laidback and would definitely get silly and fun with someone better than Shane, but would rather do it with his partner)

Another Music Dragon member, Manuel! He’s Shane’s blacksmith partner, and the second person in the clan who specializes in Opera music (the other one being Frankie). He used to be one of the members that fought when they needed to, but after an incident that caused him to almost lose his Song Casting ability, he stopped and started helping out as a blacksmith.

Manuel gained his powers when he was a teenager. He was located easily by Frankie and Gherry, as Manuel was a famous teen Opera singer. His family were first hesitant to let him join the clan, but after some convincing, they let him join them.

Manuel is special in the case that he is also what they call an Elemental! They’re easy to notice as they usually have face markings, but can be hidden with makeup. His family’s primary element was fire, which he also carries with him. He had to hide it a lot, as Elementals were very scarce in the time he was founded by the clan, but they have seemed to make their reappearance around the time of ItA. So yes, his hair is actually fire, but it doesn’t hurt his friends or family.

Aside from his Song Casting, Manuel can also make music notes that act as helpers when he makes his instruments for the clan, and is well versed in Acapella Casting. He also uses his fire power to help Shane keep his bellows going.

I’ll probably change a bit more of his outfit and redo his hair a little, so it’s not too complicated to draw as a stick haha.
