How much does your wol(oc) share about themself to someone during their first meeting?

#calem is friendly and upfront about his work in the present #but once you get done soeaking you realize you don’t know anything about him #Marion can easily start rambling about engineering but gets shifty if you ask about his personal life #eryn is amnesiac and just didn’t talk when he first met most people and still defaults to being pretty quiet

[marionmaverick]

He starts to roll his eyes before Sebastian kisses him. It's cute, and he leans into it and brushes his claws through the vampire's hair. A grin on his face when they part.

"Clever I might be, but they are geniuses."

"I have clever friends cause they needed muscle that's immune to tempering." Calem snorts, " But I suppose the outcome is the same."

ears flick at the kiss and his earring jingle. It's a nice night, better outcomes than he could have hoped for.

PROMPTS FOR THE FORCED PROXIMITY TROPE *  assorted dialogue for the moments and circumstances that force two characters to spend time together, adjust as necessary

who said i agreed to any of this?

i said i would help you. i didn't say i would be nice to you while i'm helping you.

you scratch my back and i'll scratch yours.

oh no. don't tell me it's locked.

i was hired to protect you. that's my job.

i'm actually starting to tolerate you, believe it or not.

i don't want to be stuck here with you.

i'll work with anyone but you.

i'm not letting you sleep on the floor.

they're forcing me to work with you and i don't like it.

how long do you think we'll be stuck here?

is that the only tent we have?

i think we're snowed in here. we'd better find a way to stay warm.

it's going to take a few days for them to reach us.

you sleep in that room, and i'll take this one.

you can't get rid of me that easily.

i'm just going to come right out and say it - i hate being here just as much as you do, but we have to make this work.

don't get any ideas.

i'm going to see if they'll switch my room.

until you came along, i had this under control.

if we're going to survive this, we'd better work together.

why did they sit me next to you?

i'd like to be as far away from you as possible.

out of all the people in the world, i had to get stuck with you.

guess you're just gonna have to get over it.

i thought you were worse than this.

i'm not going anywhere, and neither are you.

you're not exactly my favorite person to be around.

well, get used to it. i'm not leaving.

i told them i don't need a bodyguard.

i never wanted to spend this much time with you.

all this time spent together has really opened my eyes.

you're not as bad as i thought you were.

we might as well try to get along.

i guess i should learn a little bit about you.

i think that means we're the only ones left.

there's no way i'm sharing a room with you.

you again? i've seen enough of you already.

i thought [name] was coming. why are you here?

they're counting on us to save them.

since we'll be here for a while... might as well make the best out of it.

i think we can set aside our differences for two minutes and work this out.

honestly, i think i was wrong about you at first.

there's absolutely no way i'm working with you.

fine, but you're sleeping on the floor. i'll take the bed.

as your bodyguard, i'm supposed to stay with you at all times.

i think we're snowed in for a while.

you could always sleep on this side of the bed.

we have to at least pretend we like each other.

the whole point in having a bodyguard is for me to keep you safe.

i don't like asking for your help, but here i am, asking.

you and i are the only ones who can deal with this.

you don't have a say in the matter.

looks like we're stuck here.

just sleep in the bed with me. i'll even make a pillow wall between us.

i'm not sharing a tent with you.

i need you to stay out of my way.

could you at least "guard" me from over there? why do you have to stand so close?

"I have clever friends cause they needed muscle that's immune to tempering." Calem snorts, " But I suppose the outcome is the same."

ears flick at the kiss and his earring jingle. It's a nice night, better outcomes than he could have hoped for.

"I want to try, to see. We could take you down in the elevator so you could pop back in real quick if it's a problem," He agreed.

Calem nuzzled back and purred. The cuddling was nice today.

"My friends found cures for sin eaters, for tempering, they've done amazing things." He answered, "They are the smartest and most clever people I know, if anyone could help on my world, it's them."

"Mm, our friends maybe. There are plenty and more who only regard me for my skill," He argues. "But at least with you and the scions, I'll let you know when I need a rest."

Well. Probably not all the Scions. Thancred and Y'shtola maybe. The twins still had a certain dose of hero worship that made him feel it was wiser to keep the secret. They had enough to be responsible for anyway, without worrying over his occasional fits.

He frowned and studied the stain as Urianger spoke. It would be a touch annoying to clean up, but he was fairly certain he could get it back to normal easy enough.

"No, I don't think so. The joint pain is at it usually is," He said. "Though I guess you want a summary of the common aches I get? For the future."

Now Urianger feels a little guilty for using his disappointment as a means of leverage. Not too guilty, though, considering he did get what he wanted. Underhanded tactics have their use sometimes.... "Thou must keep in mind that in this era of thy life, thou could not possibly be a burden or liability to thy friends. Myself foremost, if thou permit me the forwardness." Of calling himself a friend, though he does so regularly enough anyways. Urianger nods. "Yes, 'twould be a good step towards solution. I ask thee to confide thy pain in me, that I might understand better what it is I am to aid."

He draws his hand back, healing complete for the main bloody concern. He's prodded at the currents of Calem's aether and found nothing else unusual enough to feel like a hidden injury. "The blood 'pon thy garments must be cleansed, but I believe thine innards are safely in and like to stay, for now." That might have been a little bit of a joke. There's the quirk of a smile. "Is there aught else that requireth immediate attention?"

"Well, there is one on the moon and at the end of the universe. But they aren't terribly populated at the moment," He said. "I'm not sure of anything that's always night, but there are definitely ones that have a beautiful night life. And Labyrinthos has an artificial sun."

His tail curled around Sebastian's leg where they sat. Absentmindedly being more affectionate then usual.

"No place of endless night that I could say, but definitely plenty of places that could be vampire friendly." He said, "and plenty of people that could help you be less sun sensitive."

"I'm sorry, I know it's probably not nice to hear," He said.

He lets Sebastian pull him close. He probably didn't even need to apologize, the vampire was very willing to forgive near anything if it meant he wasn't alone. But it did seem to him that he deserved the apology never the less.

"Actually, I was thinking you could come to Eorzea with me," He said. "There are probably ways to deal with your condition, and wouldn't it be nice to see new things?"

"My food is problematic."

Calem grabs Sebastion's chin with his claws. The signs of the kind of predator a Miqo'te is. A spoken race so close to beast, meant to be hunters. It pokes into soft skin just short of breaking it.

"You are a predator, it's nothing to be ashamed of," He growled. "Who cares which part of the flesh you consume, who cares the shape of the prey? Pick your battles well and there is nothing to fear."

" This question lingers before you: Have you had enough? " // from Zenos!

L'calem huffs as he laughs, breathless and wet as a mix of his own blood and Zenos's feels his own. Fighting him burns like sunlight, like living. He hasn't felt this alive in years, not since he was a kitten in the sun drenched dessert.

"Never," He wheezes. "I could fight like this forever, can't you?"

i am, at my core, just….. such a complete sucker for the ‘bodyguard and person they’re protecting slowly falling in love’ trope. i love it, i love it so much

#it works really well for calem in either of his verses honestly

"That's fine, one poultice is as good as another for aching joints," He agreed. "And don't be a worrywart, I was distracted and got a few more bruises than usual, that's all."

A little elbow to assure his friend he was fine. He really was this time, and didn't want Urianger fretting over nothing. He continued listening to Urianger talk, and his stomach growled at the idea of snacks and tea.

"Oh you talk up a wonderful evening," He hummed. "I can't wait to get there and enjoy ourselves, maybe get some fish two."

A little chirruping purr, and he licks his lips. Oh yes, tonight will be fabulous for the two friends.

The news that Calem seeks painkillers is reacted to with slight concern, disregarding the fact that healing magic doesn't remove all soreness and aetheric depletion comes with its own problems. "If thou art in pain and so inclined after, I can make for thee a poultice." It's more fun to do things for Calem himself than to buy from the apothecary. "Unless Yangxian recipes art more to thy liking."

Urianger stands, holding his hand out for Calem with a hum. "I am sure Bokaido Inn shall have a room to accomodate us for a spell. If there is to be tea, there must need be snacks, too. It hath been some time since last I got to partake of those sticky cakes." A slight wistful cant of voice as he looks off. Ah, treats... and proper food, of course, but also treats. "The course thus is set, and I shall see no wind steer our ship astray."

"A game..." His smile drops. It should be no surprise that it hurts.

Sebastian pulls him in close anyway. He really loves him, so he can forgive him. "I'm happy that you feel that way. Oh, Calem. I like you so much. You're kind to me, and beautiful, and so very wise. I want you to stay- but of course, I don't want to deprive you from the sun."

"Mmm definitely, I'm not sure how the other races manage without the occasional cuddle pile," He agreed. "Though I guess just depending on each other seems enough for most of them."

He purrs some when Rusi'a nuzzles his cheek. Having a friend to trust like this feels better than a massage at Kugane's bath house. The pure relaxation of trusting someone.

"If you like it, I could suggest the alchemist who puts it together," He said. "I do it more for the scent though, They're from Gry Abania like me, and do a great scent of some cactus flowers native to the area."

"You've gotta keep it balanced, at the very least. It keeps you sane to have somebody to lie on, I think." Rusi'a says sagely, nuzzling his cheek against Calem. "'S alright, I'd still hang out with you even if you weren't soft— it's just a bonus that you use the good shampoo.
