Bold what applies to your muse. Italicize situational.

DAISY :   wears their heart on their sleeve. soft voice. minimalist clothing. laying in a field of tall grass. walking barefoot. puts other people’s happiness above their own.

BELLFLOWER :   very consistent friend. happy face with sad eyes. careful touches. hiding a blush. light giggles. knows how to make you smile (I hope?)

PROTEA :   proud. big gestures. African heritage. blushes easily. tries to look tough but is really just a big softie. content where they are. doesn’t love easily, but always deeply.

MOONFLOWER :   knowing smiles. doesn’t open up easily. late nights. tired eyes. soft skin. not as innocent as they seem. loose clothing.

BLEEDING HEART :   hopeless romantic. still laughs at dirty jokes. believes they can change the world. caring looks. dyed hair. kisses on the cheek.

SUNFLOWER :   big smiles. always looking for the positive. lots of friends. warm afternoons. basking in the sun. stares off into space a lot. sitting in comfortable silence.

DANDELION :   wishing for the impossible. shooting stars. light breezes through their hair. white clothing. whispered secrets. far off looks. kind eyes.

Chachan, the sunny lad with the sunflower color set... is mostly sunflower. Shocker, I know!

Also a lot of daisy and bellflower too. Huh. And has a little bit of everything else too. A very flowery lad, it seems.

Altan sat down, giving the question its due and deserved consideration.

It must have deserved a great deal of it, because the silence was long and deafening... even for him.

Altan’s gaze had dropped to some impossible distance — beneath the floor, and beneath perhaps the very crust of the earth itself — by the time he brought himself to answer... but when he did, whatever that answer was must have pained the man immensely. It leveled a look onto the other that was partway quiet dignity and partway sorrow, before a single hand swooped up... and tap-tapped, delicate but definitive, onto the temple just beneath his horn.

The insult rankled deep. A pair of fingertips on the free hand brushed across his lips, denoting silence — but then that hand was palming a dagger, and tilting it toward his companion so she could feast her eyes on its blade. The blade was sharp. So damnably sharp — and yet, that new insistent tap at his head could seemingly convince not a single soul. How many times had the Qestir been dismissed, disregarded — talked about as if he weren’t even there in the room, all due to his silence?

The dagger disappeared. Some void at the end of his sleeve where flesh and bones should be devoured it; only the man remained, rolling that fingertip across his temple. Gently nursing a headache that wasn’t there. 

It hurt more than he would ever know how to say.

Thank you, @jancisstuff! This is a very sore sticking point for the dragon, it seems.

💭 : “She always seems so composed. Like she already knows how things will play out. I’ve no idea if that’s the truth, but if it is it seems nice.”

Baeyl expect, above all, transparency. She has a difficult time feeling close with anyone if she isn’t able to tell what their motivations or intentions are, and this goes for platonic, as well as romantic relationships. It also is difficult for her to trust anyone who she believes is smarter than she is, usually for the same reason. Baeyl can be ‘demanding’ in some subtle ways (read: manipulation), and at the core of her, she has a desperate desire to feel needed by the people around her. So she will have a tendency to become closest with others who have some kind of open vulnerability to them, ensuring that she will serve some purpose in their lives. Her way of choosing and building relationships is very self-serving, even to the people she loves the most, and while she does genuinely, deeply love them, she is also dependent on others’ dependence on her, and it has led to lots of unintended hurt and guilt in her past.

From her, others probably expect that she be more open about her heart, and to take her personal flaws less severely on herself. Just to...chill out and stop looking for problems.
