Chapter Text
AMANDA / THE PIG
• Respects this entirely, and is actually preferable for her. She herself takes some time to loosen up around others, and no matter how close you come to be there will always be a slight air of—not distrust—but alert. Even in your more tender moments together her posture remains vigilant and her dark eyes attentive.
• Knows when to give you your space, and trusts you’ll know when she needs hers, but still is poor in communicating that properly. More likely to lash out and then isolate herself, but she always comes back around, more lucid, nearly vulnerable.
• Struggles to express affection, not at all that she doesn’t feel it (for she cares for you tons) but she finds it difficult to convey her positive emotions, much less openly express them. She is most comfortable with wordless, physical touch, even simple gestures like resting a hand on your back or leaning against you slightly.
• Knows it could very well take a long while before you’re completely comfortable around her, and though she’s patient in that aspect some part of her blames herself. You might have to assure her that it’s nothing personal, because while she doesn’t indicate this she very much feels like it is.
• She feels like she’s too much, like she’s not worth the baggage she comes with, so she might initially worry that it’s her fault you’re so distant in the beginning.
• Comes to be understanding though, and is never pushy. You both settle on a leisurely pace that feels right. If anything, this makes her appreciate you opening up more. You’ve both come a long way to get to where you are, and she recognizes that.
ANNA / THE HUNTRESS
• More likely to react poorly. She is very immediately affectionate coming into this relationship and while is fully used to it being unreciprocated, she can’t help but be somewhat disappointed.
• She’ll come around to understanding, though, and you’ll help her better navigate (which includes respect) boundaries.
• Anna will see the rewards of patience in you warming up to her. She’ll treasure all acts of affection, no matter how small in scale.
• Once the two of you are stable and have established a fitting pace, she’ll learn to restrain herself, prioritizing your comfort. Though she does not speak much, she’s made it clear she expects you to voice your discomfort if ever felt.
• Will absolutely welcome any expressions of affection, be it gifts or words or touch. She herself is partial to gifts, especially handmade (she’s aware of your distaste for being gifted items snagged from victims), and though personally prefers intricate jewelry, she’d love to make you clothes.
• If it’s alright with you, she would totally love to give you an array of nicknames! She always asks for your approval beforehand. Would be beyond delighted if you came up with any for her, no matter how silly or plain.
• Huntress does need her space as well, specifically when frustrated. She’s not one to argue at all, and would never think of hurting you, but when in a bitter mood it’s best to keep a considerable distance. When she’s feeling better, she’ll seek you out for cuddling.
