i saw the ask where they asked how the suitors would react to being told "I hate you" by someone they love... so how would my sweet Melanthius react? I'd like to think he'd be more upset since he doesn't have as many people in his life
I'm so glad you asked about him!
I don't know how to translate into English.
The reaction is if they care a lot about you, whether as a friend or something else.
As soon as he hears "I hate you," his face will fall and he'll start apologizing in embarrassment. But before that, he's said the worst things anyone could have said to you. He's impulsive when it comes to insults, so it's a bit hypocritical of him.
But believe me, it may depend on the context: whether you were the angry one, whether he was the angry one, whether both of you were angry, or whether it was just a passing argument.
Still, if you're too harsh on him and ignore him when he just keeps repeating the same excuse, he'll give in; he's not the kind of man who pushes you too hard.
If you hate him, then you hate him. He's been told worse things, he can handle it. He's not good with words anyway.
