ways your muse says i love you.
He matches you to a flower. Yes, I’m serious. It’s no secret Braig loves flowers, and that he’s a bit of a botany nerd. It’s not necessarily a conscious choice all of the time; sometimes flowers just remind him of the people he loves. Since he presses flowers, he might give you a pressed flower he associates with you.
He’ll also just give you presents or other things he thinks might help you / go out of his way to look after you. Take Cody, for example: Horrible at taking care of himself because he’s too busy taking care of other people. Braig makes a point to bring him food and remind him to nap and get his injuries properly looked at (sometimes treating the injuries himself if they have the time). He might bring Jewel interesting crystals he finds on his travels. Things like that. Given how far and wide the war sends him, he can usually come up with something interesting.
Also, physical affection! Braig is a very affectionate person. I blame the adults who kept cuddling him when he was little. He knows boundaries, of course. But if someone is comfortable with him, and he’s comfortable with them, he’s a cuddly guy. Holding hands, hugs, sitting in laps, headbutts, using you as a pillow/letting you use him as a pillow, it’s all on the table. There are a few people he feels safe enough to sleep with, and that’s a huge sign of trust. Mostly dads, his significant other, et cetera. He’s a Grade-A teddy bear and reports say he does make nightmares go away.
He’ll fight for you. I mean, it’s Braig, he’ll fight for any cause he perceives as just, but he’ll absolutely throw himself into the fire for people he loves. It’s not even a question for him. His loved ones’ lives and happiness are, to him, more important than his own.
Also, you get to touch and play with his hair. He’s very particular about it, so this is a high honour. Take advantage of it.
