Love 2 and 7 for Daeran/Blythe? 👀
2. What are their primary love languages?
i think for Daeran, at least when it comes to how he shows love, it's a combination of gift-giving and acts of service. i think despite his extreme hedonism he actually enjoys using his wealth and status for something worthwhile, it's just that "worthwhile" for him means teleporting hundreds of roses into Drezen rather than like, financially contributing to the crusade lmao. as for receiving, words of affirmation for sure, not that he's ever upfront about it, and i think his date in the Dance of Masks dlc is a perfect example of that. luckily for him Blythe is both very good with words and always willing to play along when he starts fishing for praise
Blythe's main love language is quality time, nothing means more to her than finding some time in the middle of the chaos to spend with the people she loves, where she can stop being the Commander for a while and just be herself. acts of service is another important one when it comes to how she likes to receive love; she prefers actions over words, which works out considering getting Daeran to be honest about his feelings without masking it in several layers of irony first is no easy feat, but he will have a fancy bathtub hauled up to her quarters just because
7. Who is better at comforting the other? How do they usually comfort each other?
Blythe is definitely better at it, mostly because she's very good at picking up on what people need and meeting them where they're at, but it's tricky with Daeran. for much of the game's events she can't comfort him outright because she can't let on that she knows exactly what's bothering him (not to mention they're both a little like feral cats when it comes to romantic relationships—get too close too fast and one of them might bolt), so it's a lot of talking around the subject and hoping that it's enough
Daeran is new to caring about anyone enough to want to comfort them, and Blythe has her confident and carefree mask on lock, so i think if faced with a situation where she visibly needed comforting it would be kind of overwhelming for both of them, but he'd be better at it than he thinks. i actually have a half-written scene in my notes where Blythe finally cracks under the pressure right at the start of act 5 and, much to her horror, it happens in front of Daeran. he's very ???? at first, but kind of locks in after that moment of panic and is just like, there for her while she finally lets it out. it's one of the final big cracks in the facade that their relationship is just a casual fling, which shatters completely after Daeran's act 5 quest
