Astesia has been sitting with you under the telescope for hours, cold teacups waiting on the table to be drunk. “Over here, if you follow the star southwards you’ll have the full picture of Berenice’s Hair. “ Your head perks up, “Berneice’s Hair?” Astesia re-adjusts the telescope for you, giving it another look through the lens before she replies, “In a far away country, a worried wife asked the goddess of love to bring her husband back from a dangerous battle. In return she would cut her luscious locks off, and what we’re seeing is proof of Berneice’s Word.”

As you look through the telescope, you find the constellation that Astesia has been speaking to you about. After spending so much time with her in this planetarium, you’re finding yourself to have an easier time seeing the constellations. “Isn’t that a rather small price to pay?”

“It must’ve been a big one if a goddess is envious of a mortal, would you not think so?”

That seems fair, “Astesia, our tea is getting cold, let me make new one for us.”

Her smile is as bright as the stars she’s dedicating her time to, “Although I'm the host, you’re still the one who brings me warm tea. I appreciate your manners a lot, thank you.” 

You pull out the chair, gesturing for Astesia to sit. “Do you want me to take it to the next level?”

“Well, would you mind waking me up every morning then?”

Astesia’s life contains a lot of astrology, she’s part of a family that studies the Occult for generations. She could not live a day without astrology, nor could she live without her sister Astgenne. Both of them will be met on a daily basis, and you’re going to be a part of it. When you enter her life, your future can be read out for you in a planetarium, where all stars align. Tea times, and books are her favorite way to spend time. Once you spend time together in the planetarium, she’ll ask you about your current work. She may not be fond about mangas and videogames as much as you are, as long as you enjoy yourself and not interrupt her studies. It’s hard for anyone not to feel welcomed at your home, your great host skills really impress Astesia. She enjoys that you’re much of a gentleman, or at least show the courtesy to make her feel like home. If you let her, she’ll ask you to invite her sister, because the more the merrier. She’s showing her thanks by returning the favor by inviting you to her home.

She likes to invite you out on a picnic, late at night. 

That’s the only time you can see the stars coming out, there just might not be tea to warm you both up. Better cuddle up under a blanket to make sure none of you get sick. Despite these picnics, she enjoys going out with you to cafes, readings, planetariums and theaters. Anything that involves PDA is a bit hard of her to do, so maybe expect less hand-holding, and more affectionate sweet-nothings. She’s very much not taking the initiative, she’s rather a stranger to this fond swelling in her heart, slowly learning how to approach you about wanting to be held by you, or silently asking for a kiss.

Gets quickly hurt by your excessive worries, as she already worries that she’s too much for you. You gotta reassure her about her sister.

Love Language ☆.。.:・°☆.。.:・°☆.。.:・°☆.。.:・°☆

As I stated before, she’s trying to return your favors when she notices them, and boy, she does notice the little details about you - From holding the door for her, to fixing her hair. It makes her feel giddy to be treated in such a sweet manner. Her love language would include words of affection, she knows how to put her love into words for you. 

Although she’s new to that feeling in her chest, she states that her heart feels like a Nebula whenever she’s thinking about you, and each star holds a part of ‘you’ in them. It’s new and exciting, and she loves astrology so much because it affirms her everyday that with you she’ll be happy for a long time. 

Fun Fact Astesia tries to find a new constellations in the stars to name it after you.

Exusiai hums a little song that you’re all too familiar with, Speed of Light has been played on loop for a few weeks now, and she doesn’t seem to get tired of it yet. As she fixes your apron behind your back, you feel a light tuck of your apron’s ends turning the loose ends into a bow, “And now that that’s done, let’s get into making the apple pie!”, exclaims Exusiai, tying the loose ends into a quick bow together. She looks at you from head to toe, now you look like a real baker with that fuzzy moth apron.

Squinting her eyes as she looks at the feelers of the apron poking out, whoa, it totally looks like it just got made for you! Today you look especially pretty to the Sankta.

“Ouuwa!! I’m so excited to bake an apple pie with you!” exclaims the read-head as she gathers the utensils you’re going to need, while you pre-heat the oven and review the recipe again. “The best kind of pie is the one that comes from the heart.” 

You simply shake your head, she has been asking you many times to bake together since she first heard that it’s in your skillset, and while she’s at it she could rope an apple pie out of you.

“Did you wash your hands yet?” You put your hands into yours, “See, there’s still dirt under your nails. I don’t want to have to wash them for you, Exu.” you gently scold her. “Eh? Eh- Sure, sure, I’m on my way!!”

You could’ve sworn there was a red tint over her pale ears, you keep it in mind for later when you’re both done with baking, just to have a little tease. General Dating ➽──────────────❥

Your little angel loves the coffee you make for her in the morning, that’s what love smells like! While you prepare a coffee for the two of you, she’s going to fetch some easy-to-toast waffles, grabbing the chocolate sauce along with her, and if you don’t like that, she won’t mind making your fried eggs and simple toast!

She doesn’t understand the appeal of writing, and neither does she have a lot of focus to read through it, overall she prefers you talk or ramble about your ideas for the future chapters you might want to write. During writer blocks, she’s your number one station to binge-watch anime to no end! It’s kind of funny to hear how you particularly enjoy the women-loving women trope, because, well she loves you and you love her! Slice of life is very much enjoyable when she can complain about their stupid decision-making, she’s not a quiet watcher but shuts up and listens in the important moments.  “What- THEY DID WHAT?” she would ask you, begging for you to keep talking about your interest, especially interested to hear you talk about fantasy.

Exusiai would be a good fit for physical love, literally, she fits very easily into your arms and you’d have to knock her out first to get her out of your arm's reach. She finds it super easy to come to you and ask you loudly for affection, she can do PDA very well too! She still gets easily flustered when you should take the initiative first and reach for her hand. Whenever Exusiai is taking the intuitive first, she’s much less flustered around you, and she’s a bit fond of making bold moves on you. When you should decide to gift her, she’ll make sure to show it to Texas every day to remind her that she’s a taken woman and if it’s a little trinket, she’ll try to keep it close to her, even in battle. Her own gifts for you fall rather odd out, it isn’t exactly her strong suit but mostly she tries to give you hand-made pastries with you. I think her love language yearns for spending time with you. When she loves someone, it’s very hard to separate her from said person. If she can afford it, she likes to take you out on a cheap but fun date.  Helper ➽──────────────❥

Exusiai doesn’t struggle to initiate a conversation first and carry it, she does enjoy listening to your ramblings about your interest but if you’re not keen on talking, she’ll just go on about her day, talking about her friends and treating you to a poki. She knows she can rely on you, and talk about her hardships that she had to face, and she’d just be glad to talk about it. Exusiai probably would not be a great help with your memory, but she’ll say it’s okay because she forgot as well!
