9. Who popped the question/who proposed a more serious relationship? Was it a positive on the first go?

Hornfels keeps their cards close to their chest and Slate is absolutely oblivious to anyone’s emotions, especially their own. So Slate was blindsided when Hornfels proposed a relationship at all. Slate’s response was a stumbling “Uh… huh. Um. Yeah, sure, I guess.” Which was not exactly encouraging, but Hornfels was determined to crack through Slate’s crusty exterior.

9. Are they goopy and open or reserved and private?

Definitely reserved. They hold hands in public and cuddle at campfires, but anything more than that is kept private. Or semi-private, as anyone who walked into the observatory or Slate’s workshop at the wrong time can tell you. Mica complains of needing to bleach their eyes after one particular incident.

9. Did one ever hurt the other? Tell about it.

Slate is fantastic at speaking without thinking, and Hornfels is just insecure enough to let things needle under their skin. Slate’s also terrible at picking up on subtle communication. They’ve had a few simmering fights over misunderstandings or Slate running their mouth.

9. What is their favourite outfit of each other's?

like if you cried
