Partially because I would sincerely like to use Tumblr more, but partially because I think it'll be nice to have those things saved in a more searchable format

Palate cleanser #wolqotd , how did your WoL/OC first meet their significant other? What was their first impression of them? If your WoL is ace/single, how about for their best friend instead?

“Significant other” is a loaded term for Finch so instead I will go with “people in his life that I have plans for”

Finch and Rising Night met when they were both 18-19, and both preparing to cross from Gyr Abania into the Shroud. They got so much shared trauma together

Finch and Val aren’t even an item yet but I’m including him because their first meeting cracks me up. They met while doing a hunt bill. They made soup together. Val held Finch at gunpoint and then got carried off by a giant snake. The weather sucked. They had a nice brunch after

thinking about comfort items — does your character have an article of clothing that they feel most at ease in, the sort of shirt or robe that is well-worn, maybe even tattered? or something that take good care of, making sure it never falls apart despite how much they wear it?

I'm sure answers may get spicy and I am prepared for that, but where is your WoL/OC's favorite place to kiss on their partner? Vice Versa?

Finch/Haurchefant: the palm of Haurchefant’s hand. It started whenever Haurchefant touched Finch’s face to brush his hair aside or put a hand on his cheek, and became a habit

Finch/Rising Night: around Rising’s mouth/jaw/cheek. Finch thinks his beard feels scratchy and nice

Eir has habit of holding unsettling long eye contact

True! Sometimes it’s on purpose (she wants to make the other person flinch), sometimes it’s on accident (dragons place a lot of significance on eyes, so she tends to focus on those first if she’s trying to figure someone out)

Finch: I want to say he has a sweet tooth?

A little bit! I think he tends to crave particular flavors too, like things that are tart and bitter as well as sweet (dark chocolate + orange is a favorite of his)

Eir: Is actively proud of the fact that her hair is just like that when she wakes up in the morning Finch: owns more sets of lingerie than he has occasions to wear them

Eir: true, especially after living with long hair for so long, she’s enjoying looking hot with less maintenance

Finch: god probably true, though mostly in the sense that he owns one or two but keeps forgetting or not bothering to actually put the whole get-up on for other people

eir would rather die than ever admit she needs to put on a coat when it’s super cold finch fletcher could throw fletcher barrett over his shoulder like a sack of popotoes

Eir: I think it depends on her company, she’ll either refuse to admit that she’s cold or she’ll bitch up and down about it, no in between

Finch: He could do this. He’s too polite to, generally. But he absolutely could. It would not be hard

eir: that she's the type to fall for it when someone goes "oh, I guess you won't do [insert dumb thing here] because you're too scared" finch: if someone messes up his order at a restaurant, he just tries to enjoy it anyway, and still leaves a good tip at the end

Eir has mostly grown out of that. Mostly. Usually. Sometimes

You got Finch in one though. I promise it’s mostly because he’s genuinely flexible and easygoing and only a little bit because he is also a perfect doormat who would rather perish than bring it up

How seductive is your WoL?

Finch isn’t seductive on purpose, unless he’s already involved with someone and wants to tease them. Even then he reserves that kinda shit for extremely rare moments where he knows he will be able to catch the receiving party off-guard and deal a critical hit

There is absolutely an incident in HW in which WoL-Finch pulls Haurchefant aside in a hallway, lifts his healer skirts just enough to show than he is wearing lingerie underneath, and then leaves with a cheerful little “Ok see you tonight!”

Haurchefant thinks about it for months

how does your wol/oc deal with packing? are they an overpacker? underpacker? do they get nervous? make lists?

Finch has lived virtually his entire life on the road and as such, he is astoundingly good at packing. It is a mystery to everyone how he manages to fit so much nonsense into one person’s worth of bags. His buff shoulders are from carrying his entire immaculately folded wardrobe
