For Nalyn: What’s a surefire way to make him get flustered?

Kindness. Genuine kindness. And to show interest in him as a person, not as a piece of meat essentially. Poor man has Issues lol but mostly: a great lack of self-esteem. So treating him like he has value... yeah. He may not always get flustered, you gotta pick your moment, but if he's made himself vulnerable and then you hit him with kindness? He will melt.

For Corvis: What does he find irresistible in others?

That is actually an excellent question and I'm not sure 😂. We've never really considered that, and even he can't really tell me there's anything he wouldn't be able to resist.

Though, considering he's a healer, one thing he'd be unable to resist in a wholly different context than the one of the ask game is: people in need. Which, I suppose, is part of what attracted him to Nalyn cuz the man was/is a walking Need Flag. XD

For Dwyn: What is his courting style? How would he woo someone?

I literally went oohoohoohoo reading the question because oh lords where do I begin with this one. That is a spicy question indeed, in more ways than one lol

Dwyn doesn't court. He observes, learns, calculates, and adapts. So he will change his way of doing things according to the woman he has in front of him. Though he won't make it too complicated for simplistic girls, but for stronger women worth the chase? Play and manipulate and learn them inside and out until his adapted behaviour leads them to naturally fall into his grasp. No one can resist him, he says.

So his style is the use of extremely high self-confidence and psychopathic observation skills to offer the illusion of the 'perfect' partner for his chosen prey. ... XD;

A birthday gift for my dear friend Nocturnaliss! @tales-from-nocturnaliss Thank you for being such an amazing and supportive friend! 💖

I drew her character Nalyn.

so here's what i've been thinking

after a long summer vacation of not seeing or speaking to each other (but probably the summer before their junior year of hs) they meet at school having gone thru changes that manifest in their new haircuts/appearances. lyn grows tired of james treating her as his personal barbie doll and obsessing over her looks. because he prides himself in raising a beautiful daughter, he's unaware that he's perpetuating certain behaviors that he's learned from his mother during his youth. lyn cuts her hair short and explores more masculine aesthetics to achieve her own means of beauty. meanwhile nathan's parents ground him for the summer because they believe lyn is a bad influence on him and has caused the slipping of his grades when in reality she had nothing to do with that. they go almost the entire summer without seeing or speaking to each other because nathan is so preoccupied with his studies. he's so busy that he hadn't noticed his hair growing out as long as it did. he arrived to school exhausted and unkempt, so lyn offers to style his hair rather than cut it because she believes he can embrace this new look.
