#suvael

if mikael is like emotionally constipated does that mean suvan is an emotional lax-

pre

2. What was their first impression of each other?

suvan probably thought he was nice enough, but realized he was definitely extremely awkward compared to adaire, who pretty much settled in great while the both of them had to make sure the nectovelius siblings were who they said they were. so she'd be really nice to him and hopefully make him more comfy. mikael was more neutral im sure, "she's nice but i'm not making deeper connections on the job".

6. If you had told one of them that the other would be their soulmate, what would they think?

suvan laughing like okay, sure, i totally would try dating again. she doesn't really believe she has that in her especially at this rate, believing there's something in her that's so immeasurably fucked up that she just isn't worth that kind of time. so she'd just nod and smile, sureeee.

7. What would their lives be like if they had never met?

considering they meet because of something that'll help the country later on, it could be problematic on suvan's end. rondeletia just worsens if no one comes to intervene. but in a more general sense, suvan stays in her 'comfort' zone of just not trying to make deeper connections with people, afraid it'll go wrong and get everyone hurt. more comfortable to stick with her friends.

mikael seems so extremely lonely and in his own 'comfort zone' too, these are people who need to break out of their usual standards it seems like, and so he'd get complacent too, honestly. maybe not wonder too much about what could have been.

general

2. Did they have an official first date? If so, what was it like?

suvan isn't great at planning them, but she most definitely was the one to bring it up. the boys probably helped her honestly. perse herself demanding she make food for the occasion. it was an awkward dinner and suvan was all clammed up and shy until mikael probably said something silly and deadpan to break the ice, and then they got natural again. it was probably just a little fun dinner date and then she offered to take him for a little walk so they'd have better time alone.

6. What’s their relationship with each other’s families?

i have no idea about mikael's family (besides joking that all the dragons are related when he was made-) but there's no way he'd be meeting suvan's. her dad is uh. yeah. and her mom is somewhere bumming around in tithonia and suvan wants ✨ nothing to do with it ✨

no though, the cubi she stays with are her family. and while hep, dion, rev, n perse are all very protective, they like him a lot for her. there's no red flags at all. although dion probably does try to intimidate him. to no effect.

8. Who gets jealous easier?

neither...? they seem so casual. suvan herself was probably worried her job or the casual sex with some of her friends would be a problem, but mikael is very up front that he understands it's a job, and he's not going to get in the way of anything she has with friends. but their connection is the most important thing to her - if mikael were dancing with someone or anything, she wouldn't be mad. honestly, the idea of him being more indifferent to her or eventually leaving and never communicating why is worse to her.

love

4. How often do they cuddle/engage in PDA?

not too often, esp considering mikael is a little touch repulsed. but she normally lets him make the first move. if suvan's the one in dire need of a good cuddle, she'll nudge him gently and wait for his nonverbal answer. usually lacing their hands or tails together to let her know. but if it's a public affair, they're more likely to just be up against each other in close proximity.

8. Who’s better at comforting the other?

it's pretty natural for suvan to settle in and take care of someone else. she's very gentle and good at figuring shit out. but when she needs comfort, it's harder to express or even figure out herself. mikael probably has his own odd way of just sitting her down and helping her feel better that's unconventional for her but it helps so much. suvan would like to believe they're equal when it comes to comfort, mikael himself would probably say she's the better one.

12. What kind of nicknames do they call each other?

lyubimiy (darling) on suvan's end. she probably refers to mikael a lot in russian, but that'd be a regular. sweetheart is probably another she calls him. she's very heavy on the nicknames.

domestic life

3. How many kids do they have, if any? What are they like?

ahhhhhhhhhhh i love to believe way way in the future they do get to be parents, probably a girl since she has a boy in modern. suvan rly wants to be a momma lmfao

8. How do they celebrate holidays?

suvan loooves holidays, she even would decorate for valentine's. so she most def is the one getting fun lil ideas. nothing extravagant, but it's always special in some way. also thanksgiving is such a requirement dating her, it's a big family thing with her and the other cubi that like. you gotta go. even if perse is probably the only one cooking.

10. Who’s the better cook?
