Her sneaking out of bed to fix him some breakfast and bringing it to him in bed. He woke up and worried about where she was, instantly reaching over to her place in the bed to hold her but finding an empty and vaguely warm spot. His panic was eased when she came through the doors and smiled at him, instantly making him happy.

His love learning how to sing 'Happy Birthday' in French to him to help wake him up the morning of his birthday. It brings a ridiculously adorable sleepy and happy smile from the French assassin, and he hugs her tightly pulling her down to his chest in affectionate thanks.

Baking this man a cake! I think he would like chocolate (or honestly, he would be so flattered if his love baked him an entire cake that he wouldn't care what flavor it was he would love it!)

Idk why but I'm into knitting so I'm going with it...knitting Arno some socks haha. He deserves them! But with how France tends to have rainfall on the high side throughout the year, personally I worry about him getting his boots wet, and having cold, wet feet which will lead to him getting sick. Soooo NOT happening! He needs lots of socks so when he comes home, those socks get changed and he gets warm!

Repairing his weapons if they need it. Sharpening his cutlass sword (not like that ya dirty minded nasties), cleaning his pistol (oh my gosh...I'm setting myself up with these lol) and sewing any buttons that have been lost back onto his coat/replacing them. Stocking the Phantom Blade with poison darts so he's ready to kick bahookie when fighting time comes.

Write him a love letter and he's the kind of man who will carry it in his coat pocket right over his heart. Just tell him how much you love and appreciate him, how you'll always be there for him, and how though you worry about him as an assassin you trust that he'll always come back to her.

Choosing a flattering colors of fabric to turn into numerous new cravats for him (he looks VERY dashing in red and blue we already know). Perhaps a green one to compliment his Pantene commercial hair 😂 and chocolate brown eyes. A cream one that goes well with his dark blue coat.

I love the idea of a personalized cravat pin for him. Perhaps something with his initials carved into it, or a loving saying from her in French 🥺🥹🥺, with a stone that compliments his eyes (like amber, emerald or ruby).

Giving him a portrait of lover's eyes (legit what they sound like - back then they carried small portraits of their lover's eyes with them). Including the little beauty mark under her right eye just on her cheekbone, which he loves to kiss and stroke with his thumb.

Giving him a massage either on his shoulders and back or his head. Or both. He loves it when she plays with his hair, whether it's carding her fingers through his hair or braiding it lol. He loves the time she spends touching him and how much her touch relaxes him as he just lays there like a lazy cat on her lap, soaking her attention up.

Believe that he would enjoy lying in bed with her as they drink hot chocolate just having a lazy day together. He also particularly enjoys her presence next to him in just a chemise...extra points if she has her stockings on because she's cold. They'll talk about anything and everything or just lay together in comfortable silence, holding hands as he holds her legs in his lap rubbing her shins and calves.

Highly believe that he would enjoy her reading to him. Perhaps Dream of the Red Chamber by Cao Xuequin (pub. 1761) aka the Chinese version of Romeo and Juliet. Camilla by France Burney (pub. 1796) or Celestina by Charlotte Smith (pub. 1791).

This lovely man does not require birthday sex. He's just happy to have her with him and in his life because he could be completely alone. He's more than content to hold you in his arms and spend the day with her talking, kissing, and enjoying her company.

HI THERE, CROWIE!! (gonna take me a little while not to call you "girl" anymore, but I absolutely adore your new nickname! so cute!!)

SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU HERE IN MY INBOX!!! I am so happy to have received a question for my Colette too! so, without further ado, LEMME ANSWER YOUR ASK!

1-What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do? Already answered in this post here! :)

12- How do they deal with an itch found in a place they can’t quite reach?

WELL. Now, if we are talking about a literal itch that they cannot reach, it truly depends on WHERE and WHEN and WHO is around, if you get my meaning! But I think that, in general, she would just endure the itch, and hope that it would go away fairly quickly on its own, trying to maintain her composure. If it’s something she cannot truly endure and she is during a social event, she would excuse herself, go to a quiet spot and ask her mother or whoever is chaperoning her if they could help her reach the spot she cannot reach.

3-How do they put themselves to bed at night (reading, singing, thinking?)

Colette loves to sing, at any time of the day, even before going to sleep. Although not classically trained as my other singer, Dorothea, she had a beautiful low, smoky timbre and a natural disposition for picking up tunes and remembering melodies, so, it was not unusual to see her sitting at her small toiletry table, taking care of her skin and brushing those long curls that made Arno go gaga, and sing the same soft lullabies either Antoine or most likely Mathias used to sing to her when they put her to sleep. It’s a comforting ritual for her, especially when Arno is not around and is busy with missions for the Brotherhood. When Arno is at the Cafe Theatre, then it’s completely different. They would probably enjoy a relaxing bath together and chitchat with one another about the long day they had behind them, getting so lost in the chatters that the water would probably run cold. If either of them had a particularly rough day, the other would gently help the other, allowing them to relax and making their presence known by listening intently and offering the other a safe place to let out all they needed to let out. Often, they would lie in bed together, with Colette brushing his hair and giving him small kisses until he fall asleep. When she sees that he is soundly snoring (dear gods, Arno, the snoring), then she is able to peacefully lie down and fall asleep herself.

9-Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word?

Colette swears. More than she would like to admit, although, when she does, it’s most likely because she is angered by something or anxious to the point that she cannot control. So, in those situations, she is more likely to drop the equivalent of a French F-Bomb. This all goes down the drain when someone messes with Arno. She just goes full-on raging fire, waving her notorious rolling pin, uttering all the profanities she knows (ahh, all the times Claude had to hold her, because otherwise she would have likely reduced Arno’s offender in a pulp lol). As for remembering her first swear word, she doesn’t, but Antoine and Mathias do, because they were the one responsible (indirectly, tho?) for her to learn it. You see, Colette was a wee bab of merely 3 years of age, joyous and happy, but a little delayed in her speech, much to her elder siblings worries. So, one day, while Antoine and Mathias were arguing in a rather heated way (Mathias is a lamb most of the time, but he does have a temper underneath all that sweetness), Colette would just run into their room, worried as children always are when they hear the people they love argue, and screamed, a “PUTAIN” so loud, Mathias swears he can still hear it reverberates across the rooms. Mathias and Antoine were taken off guards, but started laughing so much afterwards (and then they had to stop little Colette from uttering that word out just because she thought it was funny. Needless to say, they were kinda bummed out when they realized that she wasn't planning on stopping dropping that word at the most inconvenient of times 😂)

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE QUESTIONS.

I HAD TRULY SO MUCH FUN! <3
