this took so so long for me to get to aaa im sorry! i actually only just finished muriel's route and honestly same??? a poly route for them would make perfect sense and here's my two cents on it:

* Let's start with the obvious: THE CUDDLES. Gosh just-okay it'll be a feat to find a bed comfortable enough for all three but imagine having one big humongous pillow (aka Muriel) to koala-cling to in the middle of the night, AND a sweet fluffy Asra with a hand around your waist, his face on the nape of your neck? You will Not Experience True Comfort until you experience this cuddle-fest. I rest my case.

* Muriel doesn't want to go on a date? No problemo! You and Asra go to town, buy some fresh bread, stuff you know Muriel will enjoy, perhaps a gift for his hut, something to represent you in his cozy little space, and you take the date to him! Will he be a blushy mess, thanking you both in a whisper whilst he helps prepare the food and set the table? Yup! Will it be the most wholesome, adorable thing you've ever seen? YES!!

* Have you seen that tiktok trend, that's like 'using my bid scary dog privelege to walk alone and unbothered by anyone', but then they show their super cool looking SO? Yeah, that'd be you and Muriel...the scary one being Asra. He's a sweetheart, of course he is, but if someone so much as dares to look your way with a mean thought in their head, a simple, cold, menacing smile from Asra and a look of 'don't even try it' in his eye is more than enough to halt any malice that may come your way. Muriel greatly appreciates it, even if he doesn't say so.

* I can see so many fuzzy, warm homey scenarios of all three in the magic shop, Muriel upstairs tending to the stove salamander as you and Asra are downstairs talking with customers, doing readings and making potions.

* Muriel will come downstairs with fresh tea for you both, quiet and quick to give you your cup before going back upstairs, not particularly eager to talk to others. Yet you both appreciate the sentiment, the fresh, strong-brewed tea made exactly as you like it, as Muriel noticed you usually brew it.

* Also can we talk about the cuteness that'd be Faust and Inanna? The two curling up together by the fireplace to sleep, having entire conversations between them that none of you are privy to-if Asra asks Faust what they're chatting about she'll just go 'girl talk!' and stick her tongue out like she's teasing them. Just. Innana and Faust being besties. Love that :')

* Walking around the forest, hand in hand with Asra-Muriel's not often one for hand-holding, though he'll occasionally indulge you both, but walking with them, gathering up herbs and mushrooms, whilst Asra tells you stories of their childhood, Muriel grunting in response, blushing when Asra praises him for one thing or another-stealing glances at you to gage your reaction at the stories, turning away quickly enough that you (hopefully) didn't notice him looking.
