Duke Theo has had many liaisons, but never spends the night with anyone, to him sleeping is private, a necessary thing, nothing more. But at the same time it is more intimate than sex. The night he spends the whole night with MC would be a big moment for them, a new level in their relationship. When he is with MC he will need to learn not only how to let someone see him so vulnerable, but also how to share a bed. He hogs the blankets, completely unaware of course. He will be mortified when MC tells him.

Prince Niklaus has shared a bed many a time, usually someone else's, rarely his own. He would not know why it felt significant to have someone stay in his bed, but it would. He too is a blanket hog, he is used to having big beds all to himself, he likes to spread out. He will have to learn to be a little less selfish, to share not only the covers but the unseen parts of himself, who he is when the public mask comes off. Something he will not want to do.

Rowan has been in a serious relationship before, has lived with their long term partner and knows how to share a bed. They like to cuddle, preferably being the big spoon so they can hold their love in their arms protectively. Since they have been single cuddling is something they have missed. When they are with MC they will be hoping she enjoys them too, and looking forward to snuggling up together in the cabin at night.

Duke Theo would be halfway out of his seat from the scream alone. He would hesitate when he hears the cause is a spider. He grew up in a crumbling house, spiders and cobwebs were everywhere, so he would not see the issue immediately. When he realises that MC is afraid he would be straight in there, paperwork in hand to pulverise the fiend.

Prince Niklaus would be utterly stumped, not just the idea that a spider is scary, but what he is expected to do about it. He has never had to fend for himself before growing up in palaces with countless servants, if any creepy crawlies did appear in the palace then they were swiftly dealt with by someone else. When he realises that MC is genuinely afraid, he would summon a servant to get rid of it, and check the room for more, all while he reassured MC that it will never happen again, and never should have in the first place. Heads will roll.

Rowan would comfort MC, they know that not everyone likes spiders, even if they find them fascinating. Then when MC was calm they would find the spider and release it outside. Rowan would scour their books for the species, and then try to teach MC about it, hoping that knowing more might make her feel less fearful in future. They cannot bear to think of MC being afraid.
