Nadox/Derdekeas:

18: “What are they like when they're drunk? How do they act together? & when 1 is drunk, while the other one's sober?”

I have never been drunk or been around people who are drunk, so apologies for inaccuracies: I imagine only Nadox gets drunk on special occasions. He gets really sad and emotional. He says a lot of stuff he doesn’t mean to say, a lot about his past, things that Derdekeas ensures no one else hears—as well as ensuring Nadox doesn’t know he knows.

Derdekeas can’t get drunk normally, as he has no blood nor a way to consume the liquor, but his mind can be impaired through damage to the connection between it and his body. This is always accidental, so they have, unfortunately, never been drunk together. When he does get like this, it’s not fun for anyone involved. He can’t control his body and can’t reason right with fucked up sensory input. Lots of nonsensical screaming and yelling. Nadox helps him repair himself immediately once they are safe.

21: “Any routines one has that the other had to get used to (ex. morning, nighttime, sleeping habits)?”

I actually think Nadox sleeps a lot compared to a normal person (9-10 hours). Now, before you stone me, I think flesh magic takes a TON of energy. Therefore, most Karcists and the other Klavigar sleep a lot, averaging around 11+ hours throughout the day plus some days where they just have to rest to catch up. Basically bigger Halkost, more sleep. However, Derdekeas who powers himself via a form of ancient batteries that he has converted over time, does not sleep. I don’t think he even has a way to power off. It’s more efficient for their war designs to be awake all the time. So, he had to very quickly get used to isolation at night. He lies with Nadox, sure, but he usually has to occupy himself with a book.

Lovataar/Hedwig:

26. “Who is prone to road rage?”

Hedwig. Lovataar tries to be optimistic in her frustration at least—usually by telling herself “maybe it’s a student learning,”—but Hedwig just gets pissed. She already hates being in the car because she thinks teleportation is better. It reminds her how her unfortunate lover will never see the light of WAN, so she’s usually already pretty pissed just being in there. If something wastes her time or spooks her, she snaps pretty quick.

30. “Pet names? Yes or no?”

Not really tbh. Neither are happy about the fact they love each other, so Lovataar only does it to get a reaction. Usually it’s simply things like “dear” or “honey,” just for fun. Hedwig totally isn’t growing fond of those names…

Hmmm I wanna do Orok and Ion!

32. “Who's so affectionate they can't stop touching the other?”

Both are very touchy. Orok is a giant bear and loves to hold Them on his chest, especially when he is giant. At first he was a bit reluctant, but once he got his dignity and confidence back, it was game on. Ion gets most of the cuddles, since Nadox doesn’t like them and Lovataar prefers for them to advance to something else most of the time (which he will do in the mood but I imagine she preferable to do it more than anyone else.) Ion also loves simple touches: holding hands, brushing against each other, that sort of them. They love cuddling too, but adore those simple joys throughout the day.

34. How do they cheer the other one up during sad times?

Orok gets angry when he gets sad, especially if he felt something was his fault (such as heavy losses in a battle.) This is when that love for cuddling comes up. Ion would just hold him and help him process his feelings. It’s not pretty, a lot of stuff gets broken before he lays down, and duels do help, but it works.
