— he’s patient with everything
rotxo never rushes you when you’re learning something new, Whether it’s riding an ilu, diving deeper underwater, or adjusting to life with the metkayina, he’d stay beside you and encourage you the whole time
— he notices when you’re uncomfortable
even if you don’t say anything, he picks up on small signs, crossed arms, quieter responses, avoiding eye contact, and checks in on you
rotxo would happily sit with you for hours, listening to stories, worries, or random thoughts without interrupting
— his smile immediately appears or brightens whenever he sees you
the second he spots you approaching, his face lights up. he doesn’t even realize he does it
— he loves teaching you about the reef
all the culture, creature, and current fascinates him, and he’d enjoy sharing that knowledge with someone he cares about
— he’s protective without being controlling
if a situation looks dangerous, he’ll stay close and help keep you safe, but he respects your independence
— rotxo is very reassuring
whenever you’re doubting yourself, he’s quick to remind you how capable you are and point out strengths you overlook or when your overthinking, he always reassures you
— he enjoys quiet moments together way more than loud ones
he doesn’t always need conversation. floating in the water, watching the sunset, or simply sitting together is enough for him
— he remembers small details
your favorite sea creature, the places you like to visit, stories you’ve told him once months ago, he somehow remembers all of it
— he’d help you practice anything
if you struggle with a skill, rotxo is the first volunteer for extra practice sessions, no matter how long it takes
— he loves making you laugh
his humor is gentle and playful. He’d tease you lightly just to see you smile, even though you fake it sometimes just because you’re completely smitten - but he doesn’t have to know that
— he gets proud of your accomplishments, sometimes even more proud than you are
if you master a new skill, he’s telling everyone about it, and especially if he was the one who taught you it
