🌲 ─ go on a walk through the woods

Matevos pointed a hand in the direction of the south, near the lake. "I died there," he said to Cyrek, not a beat of pause as he did say it. They were all... new people, and Matevos could remember his original self well enough. Mostly because he'd made it his goal to not be anything like that original self.

Cyrek seemed distracted, but his head jerked up at the comment. His eyes followed Matevos' finger.

The original Matevos, a sorry type of fellow, born in a deadbeat home to two deadbeat parents who should've never had kids. Always dressed in filthy and torn clothing, always wondering if upon returning home from school there would be electricity or warm water available.

The original Matevos who left home without the intention of coming back, without parents who would call for him, without friends who would miss him. Who had always begged for a dog, but never gotten one. Who had always tried to make his parents proud, but never lived up to their expectations.

The original Matevos, American, dead, exactly there where life meant for him to be.

"My truck broke down in the night, I got out, slipped, hit my head on the way down, and then I fell asleep." He shrugged. "Or well, fell dead, I guess." He continued walking again. "Thank god my car was still there! Nobody stole my stuff."

Not that there had been anything to steal.

"Crazy right, that I can still remember that? I think it's crazy, scary too. Though... doesn't feel like something that happened to me."

He was a British citizen who lived in Anchorage, had a veterinarian practice, did crime, and had plenty of friends, people who would mourn him and miss him when he was gone. He was sure of that.

The original Matevos didn't know what he was missing.

[ 🫀 ] does your muse make decisions with their head or their heart? perhaps a bit of both?

His heart, most of the time, anything that would need his head, he would probably only realise until after.

[ 💥 ] is your muse protective of those they care for? if so, how do they show it?

[ 🤱 ] does your muse want to have children? why or why not?

Yes! Matevos loves children and he's always wanted them. He thinks he'll be a great dad, and he wants to prove that to himself as well. The thought of teaching a young kid everything he knows fills him with pride.

[ ✈️ ] does your muse like to travel? have they travelled in the past? where would they like to go?

Not really, Matevos likes to stay close to home, although he's from the UK *cough*, he has never been too far.

[ 🌊 ] does your muse have any specific fears? is there a reason why they fear these things?

Stability or novelty?

Stability.

Would they agree with the term ‘guilty pleasure’? Do they have any?

No, Matevos doesn't think people should feel guilty for their pleasures. Unless if it hurts other people, then they should be VERY ashamed.

He doesn't have any he feels guilty about.

Do complex puzzles intrigue or frustrate them?

Matevos grinned, pulling Annaki into an embrace and petting her on the head - best way to show it was platonic. “You remind me of a Pikachu,” he said. “Especially the one with the cool yellow bowtie you're wearing!"

13. Is your OC practiced at first aid?

Yes! Matevos learnt first aid for animals, but he took some extra classes to also get a license to do first aid on people (and kids), just in case it would ever be necessary to have it.

14. Do they keep a first aid kit?

Matevos isn't much of a music lover, he just listens what's on the radio, and he probably would be thinking back on what sad song that still remains in his brain after all these years. Which at current would be:

pastel #FFD1DC - do you prefer the day or the night ?

Day.

french #F64A8A - can you speak more than one language ?

"More than one, yes, I speak English and I'm conversational in Armenian, though probably like... and old-fashion Americanised Armenian. Pretty sure nobody in Armenia speaks that anymore. Oh, and I tried to learn Spanish in school, didn't stick."

nadeshiko #F6ADC6 - where do you wish to travel ?

"Japan, and then I'd go to one of those Shiba Inu cafe's."
