I said this already, but mentor/mentee, or weird overenthusiastic sort-of-aunt/very concerned and slightly reluctant not-really-a-niece. Definitely something overprotective and probably a little overbearing, but affectionate.

♛☁ (Adeline would feel compelled to try and mentor Esie in being able to hold her own in a fistfight, to survive on scraps and remnants with nothing but a good knife, and just in general to become fiercely independent in a way that's very close to overcompensating. The poor girl is just so tiny and shy, and Addie is a rampaging hyper-feminist with a chip on her shoulder and something to prove, and she's not above unconsciously coercing others to try and do the proving.)
((LOL OMG that is perf though...I don't even know what else to say because she might just try and go along with it because basically anything that will increase her levels of trustworthy security))
not-so-finest spirits || [open]
It was only nine in the evening and Acri was wasted.
Not just drunk, oh no; he was completely trashed. Just a few miles back, he had tried to pick a fight with a cactus. Inevitably, the cactus had won, and let me tell you - pulling needles out of a fist while already inebriated was not an easy task, but the demon imperial managed. It was indeed going to be a long, arid and humid night in the desert for this man.
He was alright with heat - cold, he was very very susceptible to due to a probably thyroid condition that he never really cared to get checked out - but heat he could deal with. He spent many nights bundled up in blanket upon blanket back home...
Home.
Where was home?
Where in this confounded desert was he?
It had dawned on Acri that he'd been probably stumbling around lost for quite some time now, and he hadn't seen a city in what seemed like eons. [then again, the brawl with the cactus was starting to seem like eons ago] Some little voice in the back of his mind started to speak up, started to say something akin to "hey, we need to turn back, ask for directions, or at least sleep off the libations" but that voice was quickly stifled by another swig from the flask he carried.
Oh how the mighty had fallen.
It wasn't long until his fuzzy eyes made out another shape in the desert.
"Oi, oi oi.... oi....!" was all the demon managed to say, running to catch up with the shadow.

❈ - ideal birthday
Birthdays have long become a distant memory, hell, he sometimes will forget that it is his birthday [it has been 700 some odd years] unless reminded. However now a day, he likes to spend it snuggled under a blanket near a fireplace with a certain stumpy corgi dog. It’s usually snowing outside, and he’s got a low threshold for cold things.
If his partner is in town, then she’s usually been long assimilated into the growing pile of blankets on the sofa. It’s a pretty quiet night. Perhaps there’s alcohol involved; it depends on how long he was working. Acri’ll usually work during the day but always takes the night off when he can remember.
Sometimes they’ll put a movie on. The original Fright Night seems to be a growing favorite.
happy birthday! enjoy this vibrator/surprise visit and trip to a strip club/large bottle of alcohol/date with a very nice young man i met at the library last week. pick two.
I…I don’t…wait…What???

((Really cute matched sets with t-shirts or camisoles and pajama pants. Possibly with kittens on them. Flannel or cotton; silk makes her feel too pretentious.
((Lol I don't know about the kittens - unless Burton did the gag gift thing again and she caves under the concept of him getting huffy if she just tucks them in some corner to be forgotten or returns them outright XD - but otherwise sounds pretty legit ouo
I have a feeling she might end up being called "Spooky" because 1) she's sort of ghostly in complexion and 2) she's skittish. And because Adeline can be a little mean about these things, but it's an affectionate, in-on-the-joke kind of mean. Alternative nicknames would include "Cygnet (bastardized almost instantly into "Siggy" or something)," "Starling (because stars and because she is like a tiny bird)," and/or "Cheetara" for moments of exasperation (THUNDERCATS, HO!).
