#I love Kem. need more of him in the fic now that they're going back to apocrypha

9 and 27 for an oc of your choice?

I'll pick Drals for this one!

Do they give tough love or gentle love most often? Which do they prefer to receive?

I think it depends on the person and situation! He'd definitely like to think that he's one for giving tough love, but a lot of the time it really comes across as more like... awkward love. He struggles with being earnest and sincere, and his prickly exterior is a bit of a defence mechanism. He can be kind of rude and mean at times and push people away without meaning to. He's very self-sabotaging but he's working on it! He will get better :)

As for receiving, I would say it's sort of the same deal. He prefers tough love most of the time, and will respect someone who can call him out on his bullshit, and doesn't trust it at first when he's shown a more sympathetic approach.

What’s the worst gift they ever received? How did they respond?

Throwing Kem under the bus once more: the one and only time the two of them celebrated New Life a few years back (Kem's idea, Drals thought it was a waste of time) Kem gifted Drals a box with a pair of dirty, inky socks.

"Mortals like socks! Besides, yours have holes in them," Kem had said.

"This is disgusting. Did you find them on a body? What is WRONG with you?" Drals replied.

(He did wash them and use them, of course.)
