herr weber: yes

do they like love letters? what kind of messages do they leave for their partner?

dr advani: LOVES letters holy shit please write this man a letter. if he lives with a partner he would definitely leave notes around the house - if they’re separate, he would try and sneak notes into places for them to find later. little reminders that he loves them that would be deeply personal.

mlle brideaux: hates writing generally - were she alive in the modern day, she would be diagnosed with dyslexia in a heartbeat. she reads well enough (when motivated, see: her previously mentioned collection of erotica) - but her writing anything for a partner would be quite a profound display of emotion for her.

mrs griffiths: feels a little uncomfortable at first about leaving things in black and white - would be much more comfortable leaving little notes than writing great long letters. but is probably the most likely to keep little scraps of notes.

mr lennox: writes grandiose love letters and will give a dramatic reading - but there’s a little quaver to his voice as he does it.

señorita navarro: would be much more comfortable writing a letter than actually telling someone something emotional face-to-face - any admission of feelings would happen in a very messy letter, with lots of crossing-out and editing

mr samson: would be less likely to write something like a letter and would be more likely instead to either recommend a book or to copy out a passage from a book.

dr advani misses his s/o desperately when apart - depending on where they are, he would potentially beg one of his bosses at oxford to use their telephone (if the s/o had access to a telephone). failing that, he would send daily letters.

mlle brideaux misses her s/o but will put on a brave face - if you were an acquaintance of hers, you may not realise anything was wrong.

mrs griffiths misses her s/o but would like to keep busy - the house has never been so clean, the appliances have never been so well-maintained, her employer is astounded by the number of extra hours she does, her s/o will be astonished by the sheer volume of crafting projects waiting for them on their return.

if anything, mr lennox goes out on the town even more than normal - he cannot bear to be at home alone once he has grown to share it with someone.

to the untrained eye, srta navarro looks no different during the absence. but she visibly relaxes when she sees them again - it's only then that you would realise how tense she has been.

mr samson behaves similarly to mr lennox but would typically be a little more reckless - he would definitely tail more dangerous individuals to distract himself from missing his s/o.

herr weber would be almost charmingly useless without the thought of his s/o waiting at home for him. his work is a disaster, everyone has to repeat everything 6 times because he is Not paying attention. immediately relaxes when he knows his s/o is back

☄️ COMET - what do people assume about them? are they right?

we're playing with fire here, anon, but i'll definitely answer the first half <3

dr advani: a calm, polite gentleman who is always diplomatic and who never has a bad word to say about anyone.

mlle brideaux: a frivolous hussy who uses her career to gain renown with the aim of finding a rich husband.

mrs griffiths: a callous golddigger who has driven three husbands to the grave.

mr lennox: a feckless layabout who is wasting his parents' money with no regard to the future.

srta navarro: a quiet, mouse-like servant who keeps her head down.

mr samson: an aggressive lummox who is barely suited for civilised life.
