VALERIUS HEADCANONS
-Ok, so, we know Val is a sarcastic lil shit.Ā I think thatās one of the main reasons why we love him (the other reason is the hair, letās be real).Ā If you think heās snarky in public, just wait until heās got you alone.Ā On a carriage ride home from a dinner with Ambassador So-And-So, once the niceties are exchanged and the doorās closed, his expression changes from one of polite indifference to one of exhaustion.āHave they not heard of table manners in their country?āĀ Heād grumble.Ā Ā āIf I had to listen to him chew with his mouth open for one more second, I think Iād have turned homicidal.āĀ Heās vicious, picking them apart.Ā He knows it makes you laugh, though, so he hams it up just a bit with impressions.Ā Because everyone knows the best part about a party is talking shit about the other guests after you leave.Ā The only people safe from his wrath are Nadia and anyone else youāre fond of. He poked fun at Asra once in front of you.Ā It didnāt end well for him.
-He also uses that razor wit of his to keep you laughing whenever he can.Ā Heās usually deadpan, but when a single line from him gets you going, heāll grin a bit.Ā Especially if you snort when you laugh.Ā Heāll never admit it, but thatās one of his favorite sounds.Ā You two have lots of inside jokes.Ā So when youāre out in public together and see something that reminds you of one of them, all he needs to do is glance your way and raise an eyebrow and youāre grinning.
-In public, he tries very hard to maintain an aura ofĀ āhigh societyā and ābetter than youā.Ā Donāt expect much more than a hand on the small of your back or maybe twined with your own.Ā However, he always makes sure to open doors for you or pull out your chair⦠at least, if a servant doesnāt do it first.
-Heāll refer to you by your name in public, but when you two are at home, itās a very tame pet name or two, like ādearā or āmy darlingā.Ā I donāt see him as the kind of guy to call youĀ ākittenā orĀ āangelā orĀ ālovelyā or any of the 8500 nicknames a certain doctor might use.Ā Heāll accept the nicknameĀ āValā when youāre alone.Ā Do not call himĀ āwine daddyā while heās in the middle of taking a drink.Ā He nearly choked last time.
-He loves when you brush his hair.Ā Or just mess with it.Ā It calms him down considerably when heās stressed.Ā There are several occasions when youāve been sitting around reading a book when he sits next to you and lays his head in your lap with a groan.Ā It takes a few minutes of you running your fingers through his hair and unbraiding it before he speaks again.Ā Ā āMy dear, Iām about ten seconds away from simply circling all the spelling errors in the Praetorās letter and sending it back with a note sayingĀ āwhat language are you trying to communicate in?ā
-He values your opinion on speeches he writes, since heās more or less a head of state and youāre more aligned to the common Vesuvian.Ā He wants to do better by the city he was born and raised in, to prove that heās worthy of being the consul.Ā Heāll run drafts by you and listen to your comments.Ā Youāre his partner, so you donāt pull any punches.Ā He knows that if he can win you over, he can win the rest of Vesuvia over, too.Ā Ā
SPICY UNDER THE CUT.Ā
