Over two thousand words written over a couple of days. I wonder if you can tell that I like this pair.

who hogs the duvet: Drakath by a long shot. It’s what he used to doas a child, alone, and with Ty. It doesn’t matter much to Ty, who tends tosleep on top of the sheets through summers and winters. They stick to eachother so closely when they sleep so it hardly makes a difference even though Typokes fun at Drakath for wrapping himself up like an infant.

who texts/rings to check how their day is going: Though Ty does check in withDrakath every once and a while, it’s the Prince who does so every half hour tohour. Most times he will disguise the clinginess with complaints about his ownday or some random comment about how he saw an ugly dog Ty would take a likingtoo. One, it helps him figure out where Ty is since she goes off to doinscrutable things for inscrutable reasons and two, he’s very happy to havesomeone who listens to him seriously and enjoys doing so.

who’s the most creative when it comes to gifts:While Drakath doescome up with things that have more than just material value, Ty is the one whocan make grand gestures with small items. Or very heartfelt sentiments held inmorbid ideas. I’m iffy on it but I think Ty has an ability that helps herunderstand what people want and if it’s Drakath, he’s a book she’s read backand forth daily. Perhaps she’d splice some plants together and make a weed in hishonor, spreading it everywhere he’d have a little of everything the seedstouch. “And I’ll see you no matter where you are.” Definitely a heart-stopper,that girl. Kind of sappy but Drakath loves that and would admit it into thehands he masks his face with.

who gets up first in the morning: I think Ty is the night owl andmorning curser so it’s Drakath. It’s probably ingrained in his routine, stuckthere from royalty to rags. It’s actually annoying to Drakath, having to getready first while Ty snoozes until noon rolls around or until Drakath whineshard enough. After a while, it’s Drakath that becomes the problem and the reasonfor that is a couple points down.

who suggests new things in bed: By the longest shot, it’s Ty. Sure,Drakath has had a few adventurous rolls on the sheets with some hired help butwould squeal if they tried butt things with him. With Ty, Drakath could be goingabout his day and suddenly freeze, flashing back to the amazing and unthinkable thingsthat happened the night before. Waving a hand in front of his face doesn’twork. Snapping your fingers next to his ears does, since that definitely isn’twhat Ty whispering to him sounds like.

who cries at movies: I am firmly in love with the idea ofDrakath as a tsundere. And even if a movie doesn’t affect him at all, any moviewill affect Ty. Good, bad, so bad that it’s god, Ty is very into the storiesshe reads and watches, I feel. Drakath is the one, leaning on the arm of thesofa, scoffing or cringing at gruesome scenes. The real show for him is Ty onthe edge of her seat, laughing, or sobbing. Sadly, no horror movie has gottenher to hide in his arms (it’s the other way around).

who gives unprompted massages: Ty, all the time. She loves havingher hands on her favorite person and boy does it make Drakath feel his best.Though when he’s down and doesn’t notice, Ty giving his shoulders a squeezehelps him come back. Well, he’s tried but he gets embarrassed. Plus, it’s whatservant’s do! Except Ty. She’s the exception to everything, which means shegets those rare unprompted massages if she manages to bite down and not commenton it.

who fusses over the other when they’re sick: Drakath by far fusses madly over Tywhen she gets sick. Because she never gets sick. She’s so irritating that evendiseases have come to avoid her. What’s a cold to a vicious monster than canstep on an undead behemoth and not notice? So when Ty does get weakened byillness, it must be serious and Drakath mustbe by her side at all times. Most times, he gets sick himself being closeto Ty. Sure Ty indeed gets worried when Drakath falls ill, especially so whenit’s a particularly bad ailment. But the level of worry matches the level ofseverity. It’s always a code red emergency, all hands on deck, securitymeasures at peak even if Ty has a flu. “You’re in that mud puddle of a town allthe time! If you don’t get sick just from a day there, then this must beserious!” “Drakath, Falconreach isn’t a Pig Sty.”

who gets jealous easiest: An insanely difficult question. Thegeneral feel of them both is that they’d react violently and swiftly whensomeone is on the end of some serious doting by their significant other. Withsmaller infractions however, Drakath would notice and give Ty an earful. Atworst, he attempts to get rid of his competition. On the other hand, Ty doesn’tget uppity over Drakath making small talk. Something very serious and she stillsays nothing but she does everything in her power to destroy her competitionfrom top to bottom. Then again, if she found that Drakath was genuinely happywith someone else, she would bow her head and step back. Not a chance withDrakath. If taken to the extreme, he will do just as bad as Ty. Alright, I mayhave answered the question through rambling on so there you have it.

who has the most embarrassing taste in music: I would have definitely answeredwith Drakath had I not taken a look at the AQ forums way back when. Falerinmade a small post of dialogue to come, that’s still coming actually, andDrakath was looking at a portrait of an ancestor and called him a ‘fop’ basedon his style. So maybe the Prince does have an eye for fads or at least, doesn’tcare for that kind of look. He does seem the type to be snobbish about tastesin a sense. As in “I know what real musicis” and he puts on some classical stuff. I have no idea what Ty enjoys withmusic. Actually, was it jazz? I think it was jazz and jazz is always nice.

who collects something unusual: Not something that immediately hadan answer so I was about to say neither but I remember Ty made sketches. Lotsand lots of sketches, of what was noticeable. Usually things with a heartbeatso everything with some plants. That might count as a collection. To a lesserextent, I think Drakath steals and collects royal heirlooms that get shippedaway from Swordhaven but that’s more of a pride thing than a hobby.

who takes the longest to get ready: Ty wakes up later or way way way later but it’s Drakath that keepsthem stuck inside till the very last minute. She takes half an hour at most tobrush her teeth, brush her hair, and smack on a tiny bit of foundation if it’sa special day. Then, Ty sits down, cracks open a book, maybe fixes a snack andnods every time Drakath runs over to ask her about how he looks.

who is the most tidy and organized: From the looks of it, Drakath. Ty’sroom is a mess of sketches and descriptions to go with them. There aren’tpiles. The room is just flooded. The Prince has the usual strictness expectedfrom someone raised as a noble and Ty’s a slob. But Ty does find things in herroom faster than Drakath can in his. It absolutely mystifies him. Ty’s cheatingthough. I have an inkling that if Ty really wants something, she always has anidea of where it is.

who gets most excited about the holidays: It’s Ty who enjoys holidays, kickingher legs as she sits and things about the sweets that come with thefestivities. If Drakath had to get involved with festivities, it’s too muchwork for something frivolous to him, especially those peasant traditions. He willgo along if Ty is there, since it makes these tedious things somewhat moreenjoyable.

who is the big spoon/little spoon: Drakath and Ty monopolize each otherso much that it’s annoying to other people. They hug each other face to facemost times and it’s most comfortable like this. If one goes to sleep earlierthan the other, then the last one in gets the prestige of being the biggerspoon. So almost always Ty.

who gets most competitive when playing gamesand/or sports: They’reboth incredibly competitive, especially when they’re against each other. Tynever goes easy on Drakath unless she’s teaching him something. Even if shedid, Drakath would be furious when he figures out that she let him win. Samevice versa, Ty hardly wins a chess match against Drakath. I wouldn’t think she’dcare until Drakath played against her. I may go with Ty being more competitive,as crazy as it sounds. The reasoning is that Drakath would denounce his loss asa fluke or accuse his opponent of cheating. “Impossible” is one of his favoritewords after all. On Ty’s side, she applies herself immediately, reading up onchess strategies and card game tips.

who starts the most arguments: Drakath loves to fight over anylittle thing and Ty just rolls it off her shoulders, turning all these smallarguments into banter. It’s actually very good that Drakath starts arguments toget problems out into light since I think Ty keeps quiet about things botheringher until she pops. When he gets them out early, there’s more damage control.Otherwise, the bickering is on the light side, even when Ty starts something. Thinksomething, and I’m getting kind of weab-y here, along the lines of the episodeof Shokugeki no Soma when Alice fought with her “dog” after he had a match withSoma and Akira. Darn, I don’t remember any gif posts of that but it had somereal Tykath vibes.

who suggests that they buy a pet: “Drakath, I want to adopt a dog!” “Youalready have Ash!” Joking aside, Ty definitely. I doubt Drakath would like amongrel or a fleabag under the same roof as him. In fact, he might get jealousof pets taking attention away from him. Pffft, Ty throws a ball and Drakathraces with the dog to get it. Pride? Nobility? Comes after beating the dog athis own game, ha! (also a joke).

what couple traditions they have: Hard to think of many but one is anidea that stuck out in my mind for a while. Since Ty is afraid of being in naturalbodies of water, fearing what might lurk underneath innocent waves, she andDrakath hold hands tightly crossing bridges, being on boats, that sort ofthing. Drakath loves it, being the tough guy of the pair.

what tv shows they watch together: Chopped so Ty can actually cookwithout worrying over the fine details and absolutely not Game of Thronesbecause Drakath will get some bad memories lifted up. Joking! But this is kindof hard. Um….something vapid like reality TV because Ty thinks the drama isfunny and Drakath gets a snort out of how peasants live? Otherwise, anythingsince Ty gets engrossed into stories.

what other couple they hang out with: Who would want to be anywhere within20 feet of Drakath? Ty can come but please leave the leech on your neck athome. Speaking seriously, maybe Nythera and her s/o if Drakath plays nice sinceit doesn’t seem like Nythera is that invested in old human history and has agood connection to Ty. Actually, Ryunn and Tomix? Just to see how that’d turnout? I want hijinks!

how they spend time together as a couple: Well, after this splurge of info,what don’t they do as a couple? Going out, staying in, traveling, working, it’shard to pick out specific things that aren’t umbrella terms. They’re enemies,to best friends and lovers. That’s the best way to put it even though I reallywanted to give definitive examples but I feel as though that would simplifythat too much.

who made the first move: If we look to Double Edged, itappears that Ty was the one but she does that with everyone without an ounce ofseriousness. It was Drakath that made the first leap into very seriouslydeclaring his intent to tie himself to Ty.

who brings flowers home: Ty and she grows them too. It pissedDrakath off to heck when she kept doing that. I remember a scene where he grabsit out of her hands and tries to strike her with it. That ended up puttingpetals in her hair and she gave a good giggle at his attempt and it melted himinto fuming magma. Once they’re together, Ty just likes having flowers in theirhome or just plain grows them, always offering them to Drakath.

Condor would probably be the only one that came out relatively alright. If you give a broad definition to alright. There’s a chance of others finding out what she is but while bad, I think Condor’s charm and presence could if not win at least keep her from imprisonment. But I feel that it pales in comparison to what she felt for her team. She may not have cared about her circumstances as much if her team was together. But because of what happened with them, I doubt she can just rest and would not only be out to stop the guys that incited the Battle of Beacon but also getting team CTTR together.

While I’m not certain of the method, I know things don’t go well for Tannim during this time. He is a faunus and his teammates may or may not know about it (Bradley, I decided, definitely did regardless of relation by this time). And he is related to those that have been labelled as terrorists. Tannim wasn’t raised by them but does know who they are and has been contacted by them on occasion--usually to reject family business. However, because of an incident during the Battle of Beacon, he is accused of being in line with them and is left with no choice but to flee and eventually having to turn to the family he denied.

I actually don’t know what would be going on with Ty. But it is assumed that her family may not have the cleanest hands. It could be that Ty was supposed to be removed from the conflict because she is still the youngest in the family. It is possible she got a little too far in with whatever they were doing and she was away because of it. Either way, my assumption was that she has left the team for some reason or another.

Rune probably would’ve left amidst the chaos or right after it was finished. Either way, with either Beacon’s fall and/or Lady Celestia’s disappearance, Rune doesn’t find it possible to stay in Beacon. Especially if those that he had to be protected from were involved in the attack. Tannim is the only one he actually told of leaving, saying that he wanted to believe CTTR could help but he can’t take the risk. He opts for a land that is ‘new’ for both him and his pursuers and hasn’t returned nor gave word of where he would’ve gone. 

Anyway, Yoichi seems interested as if Jian claims it’s not that hard that he must’ve at least fought Domitian (understatement of the year). He also realizes that Jian also could have an idea of where at least Tyler is but will not say if he did. They’re at an impasse he tells Jian and that there seems to be one way to get past it...

They end up fighting which ends up being pretty even although Yoichi does figure he might not be able to take any other possibility on if he fought any harder. However, he did manage to slip the one thing he had entered the fight for--Jian’s cell phone--and decides to withdraw. Jian is actually more annoyed that they didn’t finish the fight and initially didn’t notice he was missing his cell phone. 

Because of this, Yoichi manages to get in the phone and actually i pretty disappointed by the lack of password to give even a little challenge. He manages to find Lucille’s number--figuring Lucy is short for something else--and calls her. He feigns being a pedestrian that ended up picking up Jian’s phone after he dropped it and says he’d like to return the phone to her. Seeing as it’s not the first time her brother’s done that, it’s believable and says she’ll do so and, yes, she is with Tyler when she is answering.

Shortly after, she does get a call from Jian and she tells him that she would be getting his phone back. He tells her not to go as it was a ploy from one of Ty’s kids, what Yoichi would’ve intended, and what happened. Adrian, huddled in the back is like, ‘sounds like a Yoichi tactic to me.’ To which, only makes it interesting for Lucille and Tyler to go, as well as any others with them at the time.

But not before Tyler jabs, “Defending your boyfriend’s honor, aren’t you sweet?” “Tyler, I will rip soulthreads out of your body and sew your mouth closed. Shut. The fuck. Up.” And there is also a glare he knows he can’t see from nearby as Domitian is not amused by this shit either.

Kinder gave a nod before bounding back up the stairs. As he disappeared up the stairs there was a shudder from the floorboards. Serenity continued on, gesturing to a table towards the back. It overlooked the rest of the tavern in case she was needed. Ty slipped into one of chairs putting the down the box of small cakes, scrambling when she nearly knocked it over along with the silverware. Serenity placed the cups and plates along with the teapot with an ease belonging only to a veteran.

“Lucille?” Ty repeated, as she tried to hide her awe of Serenity’s simple grace, “Did you get into babysitting while I was away?”

“I guess you could say that...” Serenity slid into the sit opposing Ty’s. She started to pour tea when she asked, “Ty, are you the only one of your family back in Falconreach?”

Ty tore away from her ogling of the sweets, “No, we’re all around, more or less. Don’t worry, we’re not trying to cause any trouble yet. We’re all a little tired, really.”

“It must’ve been exhausting for whatever you went off to do,” Serenity said a tinge of worry in her tone. Ty started to try and brush off the matter as it wasn’t so bad...just time consuming. However, before she could think of the right words to say, Kinder returned with a bundle in his arms that wiggled in his hold. Serenity took it from him and cradled the swathe. Ty cringed slightly but found herself peering towards Serenity. In her arms was a baby with  reddened cheeks and curly, fair locks. 

The first thought Ty had was how could she miss being there for Serenity if she had a child? Better yet, who was the asshole that knocked her up? Serenity wondered if Ty was alright as she pondered this. Kinder called, “Hey, you’re Ty. You finally came back to Lore?”

“Huh?” Ty said, snapped from her thoughts, “Who’re--”

“Oh, right,” he slid a finger across his ring, “I’m that one kid you met when you visited Tannim and Rune.”

Ty knew she remembered at least his white hair. When it came to her, she snapped her fingers, “Kinder.”

“Yep, I’m surprised you still know my name,” he gave a sheepish smile. Serenity chided, “Kinder, I hate to ask but do you mind taking over for a little while I catch up with Ty?”

He nodded, giving a wave to Ty and a small tickle to Lucille, who giggled, before going towards the kitchen. With tea cooling and the table to themselves, the women sat with the baby cradled in Serenity’s arms, the blanket obscuring Ty’s sight. Ty looked over to Kinder setting down plates and greeting customers, “Does time fly. When I met him, he was like this tall and hiding behind a wall. He wouldn’t talk to me at all. Wonder if Tannim’s rubbed off on him.”

“I’m sure that he’s been a good influence,” the innkeeper ceded.

“Speaking of influences,” Ty teased, leaned a little closer, “Who did you decide to go down on?”

Serenity turned a faint scarlet as Lucille made soft ahs to her reaction. She replied, “As nice as it sounds, I didn’t do that with anyone. Despite any similarities we have...Lucille is not my daughter.”

Ty balked. So this wasn’t her kid? She supposed that her mother was just babysitting after all. But she had thought when she saw how Serenity held the infant and the hair that it had to be her child. Lucille shifted and Ty could only see a tiny fist that looked as if it were pointed to her. She started to babble again. A chuckled escaped Serenity’s lips as she remarked, “I think she wants to meet you, Ty.”

Ty didn’t want to hold it. While there were a couple charms that only babies could pull off...Ty wasn’t the biggest fan of them. Overshadowing their charm were the fact they were frightening lumps that cried and pooped all day. But the persisted in its rocking and excitable grunts. Suddenly Ty found herself uncomfortably close to Serenity’s face. The dishes digging uncomfortably  into her sides and the heat of the teapot was searing her calf. What just--

Serenity pushed back her chair and asked, “Ty, are you alright?”

A mumbled groan responded to her as Ty started to pick herself up. A giggle came from the baby as she did so. Great, even the baby was mocking her.

“Lucy, that was mean. If Ty wanted to hold you, she would have,” Serenity scolded the swathe in her arms. That made Ty freeze for a moment.The baby? The baby...pulled her like...like a rag doll? Ty found herself approaching Lucille, who seemed to enjoy the whole thing.

Holding out her arms, Ty took the infant in her arms. How, she thought. How could something so little pull what she did? Getting a better look, she saw that blonde hair that she mistook before. Her icy eyes met eyes the color of an ocean. And then Lucille smiled. Then it made sense and Ty started, “Oh sh--”

Seeing Serenity, she amended midway, “--itake.”

She knew Eric fucked around on occasion. It was still gross to come to mind even if she was more adult than the last time it was actually an issue. But, when it came to Lore...Eric never had that much of an interest in the people (everything else was a matter that belonged locked up in their basement). Only one person really came to mind as someone he tended to fool around with when he wasn’t antagonizing Ash.

That wasn’t quite the word bu still. At the same time, she couldn’t help the funny imagery that came to mind. A smile cracked on her face, “I can’t believe I missed it. Man, it must’ve been so much fun for Rune. I can’t even think on how she was about it. If she isn’t here then let me guess, back on hero business?”

“No, I’m afraid not...” Serenity in a tone that made her features gray. She looked out towards the rest of the inn. A glassy sheen came to her eyes. A knot formed in Ty’s stomach as Lucille wriggled in her hands. Maybe she was overreacting, after all Serenity’s words could mean anything. Ty thought this but she knew she wasn’t fooling herself. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard crying.

Serenity blinked away the teary glaze in her eyes, her attention coming back to the child. She reached to take Lucille back and gave quiet apologies to the babe. And that odd kind look returned. The one that led Ty to think Serenity was the mother. But it made sense...and it made Ty feel sick. Of course a kind soul like Serenity, who was like a mother, would care for the child of any of her children. Especially if...

“...how...?” Ty found herself asking. Serenity readjusted her hold but otherwise said nothing. 

Working on Team CTTR and AART’s auras and semblances. This is what I worked out so far.

Decided to write some of what I thought happens in the AU where Rune dies from Lucille’s birth and Eric, by a bad stroke of luck, doesn’t know about this. 

Anon, have you read my mind on ships that have buzzed about for me? @inthemiddleofagame, it be the parent ship

Send in two (or more) names and I’ll fill all this out about the ship!

General:

Rate the Ship -  Awful | Ew | No pics pls | I’m not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Let’s do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs | Be friends, then fight, then break your own damn hearts

How long will they last? - If Tatsuo’s insanity was put in check/Tannim is not apart of the family? For a while. I can’t say a defined time. Otherwise? They will murder each other. Soon-ish.

How quickly did/will they fall in love? - Tatsuo fell for Lyla long before she probably even figured out she might have some semblance of affection for him. 

How was their first kiss? - Probably it was actually a fake out makeout to avoid trouble with the Regulators, multidimensional ‘enforcers’, when they were much more inexperienced than the powerful as I don’t know what they are now.

Wedding:

Who proposed? - This is hard. I feel like Tatsuo would try but he’d either end up too flustered or Lyla would think he’s joking. But I also think Lyla is more of a presence than him and is more upfront. Either way, there’s a lot of wide eyes because all their kids are kinda like, ‘WHAT???’

Who is the best man/men? - Tatsuo is the loser with no friends really, I think a lot of them are dead but I think his best woman would be Myranda, a person he partnered with when he was once working with Regulators.

Who is the bride’s maid(s)? - (I’m assuming that because of above question, this means the maid of honor) In this case it’d be a man of honor as it would be Domenico because Lyla would probably want him to be there and they are very close (how the other see it, is an entirely different thing)

Who did the most planning? - Lyla. If not her by herself, her family would get nuts about the whole thing. It’s actually sorta terrifying to Tatsuo. Like Lyla, it doesn’t have to be that big…and it just fall on deaf ears.

Who stressed the most? - Neither really? They can handle just about anything that could go wrong. Although I supposed it’d be Tatsuo more than Lyla because he’s gonna be with someone and stay with them. He’s never done that (or only did that once) with anyone else. 

How fancy was the ceremony? - Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.

Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? - Lyla’s siblings. She sounds like she really just doesn’t like them. 

Sex:

Who is on top? - Lyla. Like for all his bravado, Tatsuo would fold to Lyla and she just seems so casual about it. Like it could just be a greeting for coming home from work and oh, pushed onto the bed, hi there honey.

Who is the one to instigate things? - Depends. they both can be instigators if they’re wanting to go. Like slowly sliding behind the other with carefully laid kiss along the collarbone. And Lyla does wear some loose clothing that Tatuso could take advantage of…

How healthy is their sex life? - Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now

How kinky are they? - Straight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head

How long do they normally last? - If we want to be technically, they could last for a long while. They’re not human and both are sorta shapshifters. Like they’d probably have to get bored before actually being physically unable to last. So at least 30 minutes. Although I feel like there’s one time they tried to see how long they could go. That poor bed and I’m pretty sure that any friends or family thought they might’ve went missing or died.

Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? - Nah, I don’t think they need to have it even. Although it could be a nice little challenge take every so often. 

How rough are they in bed? - Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it. (it depends, it really does)

How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? - No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory.

Children:

How many children will they have naturally? -  I’m not sure if Lyla’s ability applies to children that naturally hers. It seems like it should. But even then, I don’t think they’d be overboard as she’d want the time to dote on her own kids. Tatsuo would like to have kids too as these would be children born out of love between him and Lyla. I want to say three but I also lean towards only one too. 

How many children will they adopt? - Ha, ha, HA, what ever do you mean? It’s not like there’s like nearly a dozen of children adopted. And that number could still grow with years. 

Who gets stuck with the most diapers? - Tatsuo because he actually has more experience child rearing and because Lyla is a little against ‘chores’

Who is the stricter parent? - Depends on what aspect. In terms of just generally in their care like their diet and some of the activities they do, that would be Tatsuo. In terms of abiding by their own terms as well as those set by their family and minimizing the harm to bystanders, that would be Lyla.

Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? - Neither? It’s not by any lack of care from either but because the kid will be alright. It will not hurt them badly as you think. Although if it were a truly dangerous affair, both would come running in to their child.

Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? - They alternate between packing lunches. Lyla might be more inclined to do it if she were cooking with any of her children. Tatsuo would do it otherwise.

Who is the more loved parent? - Lyla. She’s the fun parent and the one that’s more inclined to show off for their amusement (so long it was within her rules). I mean it’s not like Tatsuo is disliked but the kid(s) is (are) more inclined to their mom.

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? - Lyla. Tatsuo basically was barred from going when he was being friendly and some of the mothers were getting friendly as well. Besides that incident, Lyla likes just socializing with the parents. 

Who cried the most at graduation? - Tatsuo. He was just so happy for the kid and when they spoke their speech, it was hard not to tear up.

Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? - Tatsuo. Mainly because of Lyla’s strict adherence to certain rules. Although she’d find out about it eventually, at least Tatsuo can talk her down if he helped bail them out first.

Cooking:

Who does the most cooking? - Neither? I mean odds are Tatsuo just moved in with Lyla and as far as I know, the entire family takes turn cooking so neither really have to do it too often.

Who is the most picky in their food choice? - Tatsuo. There are just certain foods he doesn’t like and Lyla is unlikely to not eat something her children made in earnest.

Who does the grocery shopping? - Neither for same reason as cooking. But if it were just them, probably Tatsuo.

How often do they bake desserts? - They don’t go overboard on making them. However, Tatsuo tends to make peach-related desserts for Lyla.

Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? - I don’t even know why but I think Lyla is meat lover for reasons I can’t even think of. Tatsuo doesn’t have a preference.

Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? - Either. 

Who is more likely to suggest going out? - Lyla, she’d likely suggest going to some place that isn’t apart of the usual choices (like italian or mexican) or some place with a food challenge.

Who is more likely to burn the house down accidentally while cooking? - Lyla, actually. not because she’s bad at it but because she might go nap and leave it to overcook or got distracted with a game. 

Chores:

Who cleans the room? - Tatsuo although it never stays clean any longer than a few days.

Who is really against chores? - Lyla. She doesn’t like chores. At all.

Who cleans up after the pets? - I doubt they actually have pets but I still think that Tatsuo would be the one to clean.

Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? - Either. Lyla does it if she has to do chores. Tatsuo might do it because it’s just a small thing and doesn’t want to get cleaning supplies just for a ‘speck’

Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? - Lyla because entertaining and showy is a thing. So cleaning is essentially when it comes to that. 

Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning? - Neither, I bet any of the kids have searched the couches thoroughly for change when ordering pizza or something.

Misc:

Send me ♣ + two characters and I’ll tell you

Who is the better wingman when they’re out together?: 

Alison. Rune doesn’t like talking to people and good god, unless in a relationship or have familial relationship she can’t talk good of someone. That and Alison knows how to play people to her little tune. Although Alison has the tendency to make backhanded commentary sometimes while wingman-ing. In some aspects, she’s a terrible wingman as if they’re interesting, Alison might take them for herself. 

Which of them is more likely to pretend to be in a relationship with the other to avoid something/someone?:

Rune. She isn’t one for relationships without a lot of work for it. That she sleeps around a lot more than people probably suspect from her. She can’t remember every affair so there are times an one night can recognize her and try to have an encore. While Alison probably should and could leave Rune to the trouble, Alison gets that twinge of possessiveness. Because causing distress or humiliation to Rune is something that she does best and any others are pale imitations to the brand of annoyance she brings. This involves wrapping an arm around Rune and being very heavy with nicknames Rune hates.

Who is more likely to fall asleep at the other one’s place?: 

Alison. Rune doesn’t feel safe at Alison’s home. If not for the fact it was where she almost got killed, there are also the siblings Alison has that she’s stepped on toes with. That and Rune doesn’t just sleep anywhere. Alison doesn’t necessarily need to sleep but does like being lazy with her Ru-Ru, even if it means getting on Rune in her true form and turning into  more suitable form to take up space between her arms. Obviously, this annoys Rune and usually leads to something along the lines of “You are an asshole.” “Yes, but I’m your asshole.” “Unfortunate.”

Which of them comes up with the more terrible of the bad ideas?: 

Alison. She is brilliant enough to come up with great ideas but Alison could with the bad idea because it’s more entertaining. Rune isn’t a risk taker in the same way Alison is and normally doesn’t think of ideas that can turn out bad because, you know what, it usually ends up biting her later. Alison would also do it because sometimes those awful ideas yield an unexpected boon. 

Which of them remembers more details about the other (e.g. birthdays, favorite foods, how they take their coffee)?: 

Rune. And that’s pretty damn impressive. Alison changes her identities and thus sometimes her tastes on whims. So this means that some of these details shift more than it does than any other person. However, Rune recalls most of them and even which identity preferred what. Alison initially thought that Rune wrote these down but have figured out after stealing Rune’s ‘little black book’, she still knew Alison’s preferences. That isn’t to say that Alison is oblivious to Rune’s details as she tends to prod at some that she finds bland. But she does keep these details in mind earnestly for things like cooking or knowing when to make Rune celebrate her own birthday and their anniversary (if they have one).

Who is more likely to bring home a stray?: 

Rune. Rune likes animals with the exception of avians. Alison isn’t fond of them as she, odds are, has already taken something like their essence. So it’s like having a kid brought home. She also gets jealous of Rune’s attention on the stray and complains that she treats the stray better than Rune does her. So usually a stray isn’t going to be staying with them.

Who eats all of the popcorn when they go to the movies together?:
