In this moment, he gazes at Gepard who gave him the most flattering compliment he had ever received. Blue eyes searching for the meaning behind it. His heart beating quickly in his chest, fingers lightly grasping at his coat as his mouth parts in surprise. There were a variety of reasons why Luka liked Gepard: It's the blonde hair that shines against pure white slow, his smile, his laughter, when he's on duty and off duty, the way he wants to protect everyone in Belobog and more.

The way he wants to work with Wildfire to help the Underworlders, his warm gaze when he talks to Luka ... Luka's heart skips a beat as he swallows nervously. He -- That was close he was close to blurting out how much he liked Gepard. It was a few years that this crush of his had developed.

❝ I uh ... ❞

Luka swallows nervously and a light blush creeping over his cheeks and up to his ears.

Gepard, with one hand covering his blushing face, and the other hand holds up the number 10. || How hot is Luka? || @ofshielding

"I realize that."

Sweat dribbled down the side of Qrow's face. Reaching for Misfortune and actually training it on someone wasn't a completely foreign concept; he'd done it before. Occasionally during fights, he could almost sense where a possible spot of bad luck could harm his opponent.

But he'd never relied on Misfortune before in a fight. Qrow had only actively sought that power for slight alterations on the field, little things to tip the scales in his favor. Any other use of his semblance was just asking for trouble.

At least, until Good Fortune had swaggered into his life.

Atlas had a stable combat environment where there was limited risk to bystanders. Clover's semblance would be a safety net that no one else had.

Fighting while focusing Misfortune shouldn't have been hard. Ruby used her semblance seamlessly, Winter and Weiss could manipulate theirs to do so many things, and yet even actively trying to make Clover's feet catch on each other, it felt like Qrow was trying to throw a palate of bricks at him.

And... There were some other hang-ups that were harder to name. One could even call it a superstitious fear.

((Yes. Even when he was drinking, Qrow put a lot of effort into his appearance. There is not a lot he can control in his life, especially with his semblance, but Qrow does have his looks. He shaves with a straight razor to maintain his facial hair, he puts on eyeliner and some other light cosmetics (eyeliner is also a practical thing; the black absorbs sunlight and reduces glare). His hair he maintains with a knife most of the time, mostly because if Branwen hair is allowed to grow out, it's an untamed mess. (You've seen Raven and Yang's hair).

As for breakfast, Qrow's inconsistent. It really depends on if he's waking up hungover or not, and how badly hung over. Greasy foods like bacon and black coffee tend to work best on hard hangovers. And bread is always going to be involved somewhere. (He can very much be tempted by cinnamon rolls. They are. A weakness.)

I think he's got a decent library of games on his scroll. Most of them are things he plays with Yang and Ruby. He's got a few RPGs that are all his own, though, and definitely has Remnant!Minecraft.

Qrow's lock screen is Yang and Ruby, and it's probably one from a few years ago. It's from a family camping trip from before Ruby started Signal. Both girls roll their eyes when they see their uncle hasn't changed it (probably because he doesn't care to learn how with this stupid new scroll). They both know how to get in and change it for him, they change his home screen all the time to different meme pictures.

5. what is your muse's ideal first date?

Qrow will never admit it, but he loves the idea of getting to go out somewhere fancy that forces him to dress up in nice clothing, not just because the alcohol will be nice and expensive, but because he also gets to see his date all dressed up. Somewhere they don't have to worry about the possibility of a Grimm attack and no phones are allowed, because who wants to hear they're needed to defend the city while they're getting to know their date better? Not Qrow. A nice slow evening, maybe with some dancing! Qrow loves to dance, but never really gets the chance to do so.

10. has your muse ever been cheated on? would they ever cheat on their partner(s)?

Qrow has, in fact, been cheated on. It's why he's so evasive and hard to catch. He would never cheat on his partner.

13. what traits does your muse value in a romantic partner?

Honesty, he can't stand liars even when he tells lies himself. He believes honesty is key in a relationship. All the lies Ozpin has spun him into is another reason he's hard to get into a relationship; he wouldn't lie about what Ozpin has him wrapped up in if asked by his beloved.

Loyalty for sure. Qrow can't stand not knowing where peoples loyalty lies.

He wants someone who's brave, who has their own strong set of morals and isn't afraid to do what they believe is right.

❝ i'm always blown away by just how talented you are. ❞ (( from gepard )) || In case you didn't know

At the mention of his talents Luka's ears perked up and looked behind him to see a familiar face. He continues to sit, smiling as he strains his neck back to look at Gepard but then swings forward to correct his posture.

❝ Well, I wouldn't say I have many talents, Gepard. ❞

He says as he lights the fire at his feet.

❝ I think you're the more talented one after all you got into the silver main guards. Making a fire though? That's common knowledge for Underworlders. ❞
