hi hii!! how would the ROs feel abt the MC referring to them as part of their hoard? like not in a hyperpossesive typa way but like them also using "treasure" or "gem" as pet names <33

Sekh': I think they'd be the RO to feel most touched by this. They'd be flustered when MC says it out loud, but there is a careful longing in the way they behave afterwards. Leaning a bit towards MC, getting closer than they normally allow themselves to get to MC in public.

Because Sekh' only ever had their disgraced family name and nothing else. They don't belong anywhere, no one wants them, and they belong to no one because no one has wanted them as well - since now.

Cherena: Cherena preens and blushes and melts, almost in tears, if it's a day where their emotions are running a bit all over the place. Finally, they have something genuine. They aren't being used, like they are with their 'friends', they aren't being displayed like their grandparents do with them.

Cherena loves hearing MC call them part of the hoard, and they frequently daydream about being inside MC's hoard or nest with them, cocooned and happy.

Zaphia: Zaphia blinks, and they can hardly believe it at first. This is all they ever wanted. To be treasured so, and to be the most prized possession of their partner.

The though alone makes their body shudder and mind shake with soft delight. They look proud and properly content every time MC calls Zaphia that, especially in public.

Mc getting educated by Cherenas medics on how to best handle their condition and taking care of themselves so Cherena feels comfortable 😌

thats it, thats the tweet

Cherena feeling endlessly grateful for that and giving MC soft looks and soft touches and soft kisses because it means the world to them.

YES! You’re back!

Since you’ve said before that Cherena has numbness and lower back pain. Would she want Mc to help her with massages?

Again super excited that you’re back 💕

I am so so happy to be back to my gay dragons💞

Oh yes, she would appreciate it more than anyone could understand. Cherena needs in fact sometimes daily, sometimes weekly massages, that alleviate a bit of her numbness and leg spasms.

But since the illness that caused her condition, Cherena has been massaged by either medics or people chosen by her grandparents. It's not that she doesn't appreciate it, but the touch of someone she isn't close with always makes Cherena a bit uncomfortable.

So MC helping Cherena, maybe even taking on themselves the task to do so every time she needs it, would make Cherena feel so touched, safe and finally a bit more relaxed.

alright, so, i gotta ask- In a massive poly cuddle pile, with MC and Cherena shifted, where would Sekh' and Zaphia be laying? on the snouts? the paws? the chests? the tails? This is a very important discussion

Ok so since Cherena has some numbness/pain in their lower back/legs (even in dragon form, their hinder legs have very little movement left), the pile would be on MC (which is HUGE comparatively).

I picture MC laying on their belly, Sekh' resting against them, with Cherena's head on their lap (Cherena being half nestled against MC's body, maybe cuddled close by MC's wing) and Zaphia near the neck/front paws.

An ask you say? Very well :)

What would be the RO's reaction to what if one day walking side by side and they trip but MC caught them in their arms, locking eyes with one another.

MC: "Falling for Me? They say with a smile on their face.

Sekh': they'd swallow, half choked up because it's true. "What if that was true?" They'd admit, suddenly sharp and bold.

Cherena: (let's say they were walking and tripped) they'd let out a breathy laugh, not answering but heavily implying it by leaning against MC, almost nuzzling them.

Zaphia: "You know I have," they'd answer, with a raw kind of sincerity. They won't ever deny it.

are the ros cool with pda because if we can make our mc this shameless already, i dont see why they would stop when it comes to flirting 😏 (as a zaphia romancer, i can imagine my mc walking up to them during a party to stand next to them and converse with them while also subtly running their hand from their nape to their collar and even sliding their fingers underneath it to rub on the covered part of their neck....... my mc is a wh*re sorry)

You will actually be able to choose if your MC is very shameless in public and engages in sordid PDA or only expresses their adoration for the ROs in private.

But for PDA, Zaphia is the most fine with it (they kind of have a thing for showing they belong to someone/someone belongs to them in public in front of everyone with their partner), Cherena enjoys every little thing from MC even if it might make them a blushing mess, and lastly Sehk' is usually more proper and traditional (in terms of being more private). But then again, Sekh' has their moments when they could care less what others think so MC is allowed to being so shameless in public

Thinking of a potential scene where MC wears the ROs tokens, especially Cherena's, and someone from their circle of "friends" try to embarrass MC by saying something like "where did you find that mirror? In the thrash?" and Cherena waiting till the laughter dies down and quietly comments "it's mine, actually. I gave it to them."

That would be so sad, it would make Cherena so upset. And it would be something of an eye-opener for them, because while Cherena is aware they are surrounded by superficial friends, this treatment of MC makes them very dejected and so hurt.

Cherena wouldn't do much, but their voice and face alone are expression enough that something is deeply wrong

Well if you want a spicy RO ask... Mc slowly trailing kisses down Cherenas chest telling them how gorgeous they are? 👀

Slight NSFW

You take your time in kissing gently from Cherena's neck, to their collarbone and then down to their chest. They shiver, gripping your shoulder with soft hands.

"It's not true..." they protest weakly, already mollified by your lips on their skin. Without looking, you can feel the edge of ugly hesitation in their tone.

The truth, with Cherena, is that while they feel beautiful most days, sometime there is a nagging voice that tells them it isn't enough. That they should apply more makeup, wear shinier clothes to look prettier. Because what other thing do they have to offer to a partner, if not that?

"You are," you insist, as your kisses get lower and Cherena slightly arches their back to meet your lips with unrestrained, maddening eagerness. "You are gorgeous."

Sekh' when someone talks bad about MC: *seething. Cutting remarks to embarrass/humiliate the offender*

Zaphia when someone talks bad about MC: *makes sure they will always be without drinks, food, directions, pretends to know nothing when asked like the petty bitch they are"

Cherena when someone talks bad about MC: *ruins their family reputation and/or their family finances without remorse*

How would the RO’s respond if the MC said, in a sultry voice, “Come to Mommy/Daddy.”

Well what if I want to call them that, huh? What about it?

Sekh': 😳 (likes it. A bit too much. Will deny it.)

Cherena: blushes, and hides it with a hand. Definitely does something to them.

Zaphia: mhh, it makes them feel... interesting. Good and protective.

Is Cherena desabled? you mention it a weelchair?

Yeah. As a result of an incident when they were younger, Cherena suffers from a spinal injury. They can make some steps with difficulty, but they very often use a wheelchair not to strain themselves.

A little detail about Cherena's use of a wheelchair under the cut:

You might have caught a glimpse in their POV of the way Cherena lets themselves be led by many people, even those whom they don't feel completely comfortable with. They have grown surrounded by pushy grandparents (who raised them) and with time they learned to swallow their discomfort at being pushed around when not asked to.

At this point in time, they believe this is something they just have to accept - in a way they are accustomed to their partial lack of agency. However, they will be confronted about it, and seeing how MC's approach is different and more respectful will give them a lot to think about.

Thanks for answering my previous question author! I really love how they all react, they're so freaking adorable!!! Also, some ramblings ahead! (I just feel like sharing it with you if you don't mind!) Yesterday ended up keep thinking over it for some more and finally decided which petnames is better fit for who and ended up changing some of the names a bit too! Here are the petnames and my(well, mc's) reasons why! Bunny: Cherena. The first thing that comes to mc's mind about Cherena is that they think Cherena is very adorable and cute. Someone who's seemingly innocent and pure of heart. So much to the point that maybe they'd just be hurting themself. Too sweet and too kind for their own good. Mc adores it, but at the same time it's breaking their heart a bit. My Sky/My Darling Sky: Zaphia. It was said in the demo that Zaphia finds mc during a vulnerable moment and ended up looking out for them, which in return makes one of mc's first impression of their presence is of comfort, layered with the feeling of safety. You know what else is one of the few things that would give a dragon a huge amount of comfort? The sky. No matter how huge the problem they're going through i think a little flight would instantly take all those weight off of a dragon, even if temporary. And i don't think there's any other place that a dragon could feel more save other than the one place they are built for. The sky. No dragon could ever live without the sky, i don't think. (And yes, a do realize adding in the 'darling' makes it a bit too dramatic- but then again that would be SO mc) Treasure: Sekh'. They were the only one mc deemed important from the whole bunch of people mc was courting alongside them last Season. The only one that manage to turn their mere game into something more. The only one among them that worth something- everything. And as a treasure, one with such a high value, they might be a little hard for mc to get (back), but once they finally did, once they did it is worth it all. (Oh, and i just wanna say that this is just my mc's take on the ros- and also, the demo just started so i still haven't really know much about the ros' personality so i'm sorry if there's any of them that doesn't seem on point! Also, thanks for listening to my ramblings author!)

Thank you for sharing this, it's... adorable. I love the reasonings, they are very thoughtful and so in character for MC... I really believe the ROs would love their petnames!

How would the ROs react to a complete sultry tease MC who speaks soft to them, look full of adoration and gentle gestures (feather-like touch/chaste kisses) when they are in private? (Solo and Quad)

Would they feel bad when MC sets foot outside and start being unapologetic and sassy again?

I think everyone, in a monogamous route or a poly route, would feel very flustered and flattered by MC's soft words and feathery kisses. They'd be a bit surprised by the change, but they'd all welcome it. Is this the true MC? Or is it just a side of them they will only allow themselves to show in public?

At seeing MC's change, Sekh' would feel a bit put off. Not because they aren't in love with this sultry, sassy persona, but because they would feel like MC is suppressing part of themselves based on their environment and they'd fear this is just a way for MC to cope with the image of themselves they created. (But they'll certainly talk to MC about it before jumping to conclusions)

Cherena would be the most amused. They wouldn't be upset, but instead they'd enjoy this side of MC in equal measure as their private, softer one. MC is a wonder and Cherena is completely smitten.

I think Zaphia would be the least surprised when MC's public façade shifts back on. After all, they've seen this before, albeit in smaller proportions. They enjoy this unapologetic side of MC so this amuses them.

Hello, I just saw the ask about Cherena and now I want more than anything to be able to take her for a flight, do you think that would be something that is possible?

I just imagine it being a very precious moment between the MC and Cherena. Just thinking about it gives me the warm fuzzies ☺

If we talk about Cherena riding MC, it is definitely possible. No one had done that before since for one shifters are rare, and no one had ever offered, honestly (one of the only shifters in Cherena's social circle is Lyhan, the one in the prologue, and he never bothered even thinking about it).

Oh, it would definitely be a special moment for Cherena, especially if it's MC they're riding, and especially if MC flies higher and higher (a normal shifter would only be able to fly to a certain height with a person on them).

There is technically another way for Cherena to fly in their dragon form, because they cannot take off but they can move their wings a bit, but only with aid.

If i remember it right i think you said once that we'll be able to put in our own petnames for the ros(or did i misremember it and just made it up on my mind?), so cause i was bored i just started thinking up what names my mc would've given them (cause even if we won't be able to, this probably will just be for my headcanon). But then trying to come up with the petnames got me thinking- How would the ros (in the poly) react if the mc gives two of the ros a seemingly more serious, heartfelt, names like 'my treasure' and 'my heart' or something like that but then unexpectedly the other one is suddenly just? 'Bunny'??😂😂😂 Previously i want my mc to go with something like "My Treasure, My Heart, My Darling" but then the name Bunny just pops up on my mind and i just HAVE to put it in. But if i do went with it, then it just kinda doesn't match up😂 My treasure, my heart, and then just bam, bunny. So yeah, how WOULD they react?

Being able to type out the petname for each RO still stands! And, honestly, the Bunny thing is so cute. I think all the ROs would appreciate it in their own ways.

Sekh' will just grow resigned to it after the initial confusion, but a fond sort of resignation like "yes, that pet name is mine."

Cherena finds it funny and so endearing. All the others have those tende pet names and here Cherena is, MC's bunny. And they are very much fine with that.

Zaphia just... blinks at it and hides a flustered smile. They like it, as they like all things that come from MC. Also, Bunny is so much more... funny to see people react to in public, and Zaphia will 100% play along.

first of all, congrats on the demo drop! i love it sm so far, from the customization to the forked tongue (👀), to the absolutely delicious angst! secondly, what would make of the ros break up w the mc while in a relationship/make them lose feelings for the mc entirely?

Sekh': if they lose trust in MC, it's very very difficult they could find it again. For example, if MC tells them something very hurtful, they will struggle to forgive it and to ever be fully relaxed around MC again.

Cherena: if MC completely discredited publically Cherena, tarnishing their reputation and breaking every social connection Cherena had, they would be utterly lost and grow bitter and resentful. But in general, Cherena would forgive much more than they should when MC is concerned.

Zaphia: if MC were to ever be very dismissive or hurtful for a long period of time or ever physically harm Zaphia (a slap...), that would be it. Zaphia hates when they are made to feel inferior, lesser or just insignificant of respect, and it would be a huge dealbreaker.
