#mothtale

Sunset: He would perk up, then laugh and nudge them, his wings flapping lightly, "Thank you," He started with, "They're kinda really out there, huh?" he looks over his shoulder at his own wings, spreading them out as far as they could go. His wings were huge! Compared to his body size, his wings were the biggest and brightest. He was very pleased that you would call his wings pretty… good luck, he's gonna be showing them off even more often now.

Scarlet: Scarlet looked at you, listening to you talk then laughs and flaps his wings. They weren't really all that much like a moth, but he was one! Just… faking being a wasp. It was interesting. "I know, thanks though." it might seem like he was being full of himself, and he was, but he was also embarrassed. He wasn't expecting you to say that, so when you did, it made him smile and he didn't want to admit how happy it made him.

Leopard: Leopard would listen to what you said, look at his wings, then back at you and he shakes his head. He doesn't really believe that he's got pretty wings anymore. They're all torn up and gross looking… he's happy that you can lie to him to make him feel better, though.

Sunset: When he saw you coming his wings started to flap a little, and he moves over “Hey Y/n, glad to see ya, what are you doing here?” he didn't like to admit it too easily, but he did have a big dumb crush on you. You pull him into a hug, and he felt his body tense. You most likely didn't know but hugging like this was a sign of courting to moths! He looks up at you, then down, and hugs back his wings flapping a bit faster. He was soft and his wings made you feel strangely sleepy.

Scarlet: He was pretty annoyed today cause he got into a fight with Cinnabar, which he knew that he was in the right for, but he didn't really wanna deal with the other moth so he took off. While flying he saw you, making him perk up, and he flies down “Oi, Y/n, what are you doin' out here?” he flies around you in circles, until you catch him in a hug, laughing and you start to explain why you're here but he wasn't listening. His soul was now pounding in his chest and he felt embarrassed. This was really sudden...

Leopard: When you came to see him, and you hugged him, his body tensed up but slowly relaxed and he hugs back, holding you tightly “Hi” he mumbles, nuzzling his skull against yours. He was covering you in his scent, and even moves his wings around you a little. It was something that he didn't do all that often anymore. It sorta hurts to move them cause of how torn up they were but he had the biggest wings out of them all! Not compared to his body, though, if it was that it was Sunset who took it.

Rosy: The hug catches her a little off guard, her wings flapping quickly spreading the powder but when she realized it was you? She smiles and laughs, hugging back “You dummy! You scared me” she nuzzles her skull against your head, letting out happy hums. She was so small and soft in your arms! She knew that this was a courting thing for moths, but for humans, it didn't seem to be that... it was something that she knew from watching humans for a while now.

Shadow: He sneaked up on you before you could see him, blending in with the shadows, and jumped out to scare you “Boo!” You jumped, then laughed, and hugged him giving him a little shake “Shadow! You little asshole, how dare you?” he blinks when he was hugged like that, going limp in your arms then smiles and nuzzles into your chest. His wings were hanging limply. Honestly? Really impressive he felt that comfortable with you. Good luck putting him down now.

Cinnabar: if you try to hug him, he's gonna squirm and wiggle around in your arms “Unhand me!” he kicks his legs, while making sure to not hurt you on accident or flap his wings too much. He normally doesn't mind the touching, but that's a bit much and he's just embarrassed.

Sunset: Sunset looks at the flowers that he was given, and smiles a little, "Heh hey, thanks" He was gonna spread them out in his cave most likely... other bugs could get drawn in and he'd most likely eat them. And then he got that smooch? He blinks his cheeks flushing and his wings flapping a little. "Oh-" well damn, he wasn't expecting that. He looks over at you, tilting his head then chuckles and bonks his head against yours lightly, "You're pretty fun" His wings curl around you slowly. Yeah... he was going to keep you.

Leopard: He looks down at the flowers that were given to him, rubbing his thumbs over the petals. They were so soft... he moves it up, pushing his face into the flowers. His wings even gave a little twitch! They uh couldn't really flap that much anymore, though with how damaged they were. He didn't even notice when he got the smooch on the cheek... too interested in the flowers. He'll realize what happened later and then he would go to try to find you again. If he can't, he'll continue to move and pace around trying to figure out a way to get you. The next day when you come to see him you just get knocked over by him.

Sunset: While the other two sleep during the day most of the time and move around during the night, Sunset flies during the day and sleeps during the night. When Y/n came over to give him the flowers, saying "I love you, and the pretty colours made me think of you and your lovely smile." he would perk up, his cheeks flushing with color before laughing and shaking his head at them "Aww, ain't you sweet?" He slips one of his wings around them, taking the flowers studying them, and brushing his fingers over the petals of the flowers. If there are any in there that he would like, he might eat them but he most likely would keep them... spread them out throughout his nest and the cave? Lighten it up a little. He really likes the flowers, and really likes the fact that Y/n gave them to him! That just proves that they love him, so ha!

Scarlet: He would blink once, then twice, looking a little shocked then laugh shaking his head "Why did you get me flowers?" he reaches over, gently taking them and when Y/n goes and says "I love you, and the pretty colours made me think of you and your lovely smile." he's gonna have to pause. Oh... Oh okay... shit. He flushes his wings flapping quickly behind him, and he huffs turning his head away from them "Eh shut up" He hides his face a little into the flowers, trying to calm his wings down from flapping. That was honestly really sweet of you... he likes flowers more than he might admit. Maybe get him some dog fennel next time? Just be careful with it... he likes eating it to refill his toxins. Plus, you know, it just tastes good. You're gonna get a cheek kiss but he isn't the best with cuddling, so don't expect that from him.

Sunset: If the person asking didn't seem like a threat, he would hug someone he just met! I mean, there's no reason to say no. You know, just don't mess with his wings and don't try to do anything that might end up hurting him.

Scarlet: They would have to be pretty good friends before he would hug anyone... mostly because he doesn't like hugging people and because he worries that he would hurt the person.

Leopard: I would say... they'd have to be pretty good friends. He has a hard time trusting people, but he really does like hugs! They make him feel happy and safe. Protected, even.

Rosy: Good luck getting out of the forest without hugging Rosy, lol. He would hug anyone! Even people he doesn't know.

Shadow: Expect tackle hugs when you two become friends. If he trusts you, he'll hug you! He sees no reason not to do that. So maybe after a few weeks.

Lace: Years. YEARS.

Lamp: He would accept hugs not way too long after you guys start hanging out :) think maybe twoish weeks? He wants to be sure you're a real friend and not someone who's trying to hurt him or get close to him to hurt him.

Shade: Maybe a few months of friendship, tbh. He has trust issues.

Luna: Maybe a month of friendship. He has trust issues, but not as bad as Shade. He might just say no because he doesn't like being touched all that often. It really depends on how close of a friend he is with you.

Moonshine: No matter how long you guys are friends, he wouldn't ever start the hug. If you ask, he might get too embarrassed and run off. The best thing to do is to hug him, and he'll return the hug once he stops being a flustered weirdo.

Lunar: A few weeks, maybe? Maybe 3 :) He doesn't mind hugging! He thinks it's fun! The only thing is that you can't surprise him with it; he would accidentally use his powers on you, and he doesn't want to do that lol. It's awkward.

Moondust: Give him a while. And I mean a long while. He dislikes being close to people and, even more, being touched. If you try to force it, he might run away from you, and you won't see him for a while. He might not even do hugs anyway! He might just lean against you, and I think that's good enough for him.

Droplets: Depends :) but mostly I think he would hug someone that he calls a good friend. So maybe after at least two months of friendship. He dislikes touching, but he will if you ask him to do it! He cares about you and enjoys seeing you happy. 

Leaf: He'd hug you the first time he met you, if you want me to be honest lol. He likes hugs!

Halfa: Probably after a few months, tbh. He has a hard time feeling like he can trust people, even if they've never done anything to show he couldn't trust them.
