Hard to say? He's the equivalent of agnostic when it comes to his religion, not exactly heavy handed with the tao dragons belief with Unovan dragon tamers but not completely denying it or stopping some habituary practices. Same goes for their idea of an afterlife (or their version fo it). Kind of okay with the thought of nothing happening. It's a relaxing thought...but really scary at the same time so he doesn't mind believing there's something a little beyond this too. It's complicated.
I want our muses to be: eh? | friends | ex-friends | rivals | rivals with sexual/romantic tension | enemies | enemies with sexual/romantic tension | lovers | ex-lovers | partners/coworkers | pen pals/internet friends | friends with benefits | soulmates
Our muses met: as children | as teenagers | as adults | just recently
(for romance) Our muses’ relationship is: still exciting and lively | stable | starting to feel awkward | in jeopardy | romantic, but the sexual attraction is fading | sexual, but the romantic attraction is fading | toxic and self-destructive | unrequited, with my muse pining after yours | unrequited, with your muse pining after mine | determined by fate
(for rivals) Our muses’ relationship is: awkward | fiery | friendly | petty | mostly for show | losing its spark | starting to develop into something more | one-sided, with my muse considering yours a rival | one-sided, with your muse considering mine a rival | determined by fate
(for enemies) Our muses’ relationship is: dangerous to themselves | dangerous to others | based on family matters | based on professional matters | based on lies/misunderstandings | unpredictable | passionate | nothing personal at first, but changes with time | determined by fate
(for friends) Our muses’ relationship is: stable | sickeningly sweet | the kind of close friendship that makes others jealous | falling apart | based on shared interests | based on circumstance (like school or work) | based on family ties | developing into something more (romantic/sexual) | developing into something more (antagonistic) | determined by fate
'meh?' is all that's coming to mind at the moment. Could be his nonchalant-ness not particularly finding anything outstanding with them at first nor is Drayton one to even make the first move to introduce himself really. probably slow to work itself into...something.
Send me a ♡ and I’ll bold what I want to see with our muses and italicize things I may be open to! (send “heart!” if the symbol is unavailable)

" I bet if they were spicy he'd like them. Put spicy mustard on anything and it's suddenly a culinary masterpiece. " ...And he doesn't catch her discomfort...or even be bothered to be upset about the argument before really. It's just him to wake up the next day completely shrugging off confrontations and go about the rest of the day like normal. Far easier; it was just a back and forth about ... what again? If this was in mind right now he'd have trouble recalling to begin with.
" More doritos for us then! " Drayton's subjugated the whole club; Cereza wasn't getting out of weird Unovan chips that easily. He rattles the bag expectantly. " Went back to the village actually. Year of the Dragon is kind of a big deal for us Unovan dragon tamer shmucks. Idk if ya celebrate it, but when it comes it means the whole weekend is on holiday. Said hi to some old pals I havent seen in a bit, ate a bunch, battled some, grandpa wasn't as grumpy as usual and yeah of course I was gonna grab some delicacies before I get back to school~! I'd hate for you all to miss out on some culture. "
Nevermind that it came from a convenience store before the boat ride here. Very traditional.
" Hope ya'll didn't miss me too much~! "
“ hey.” and he shuffles what looks like some .. bastardized bag of chips in front of her. “ haven’t seen you at lunch lately. missin’ out on all the fun! I brought some burger flavored Doritos from the mainland. the look on Crispin’s face when I dared him to take a bite — thought he was gonna die for a sec!”
can't really say she wasn't SURPRISED to see him. cereza thought – of all people right now, she was probably the one drayton wanted to see THE LEAST.
but she forces a smile. hers always seems effortless, BUT HE ALWAYS KNOWS BETTER. ❝ hey ! ❞ she rests her cheek on her hand, listens to his little story. no matter the fact that they were SEVERAL FEETS ABOVE THE GROUND, right on briar's girgantuous sphere.
nevermind how he found her in the first place.
❝ well, yeah, you're asking AN EXPERIENCED COOK to betray the love of his life ! talking about HIS PALATE, in this case. ❞ she snorts, looks away. her feet dangling in the breeze. she opens the package, still looking at the fake horizon displayed in front of her. ❝ ... you went to CASTELIA then, i take it ? ❞
Looking at memes like I do have bias shipping with DrayXCarmine, XLacey, XMela or like mostly with characters that can and will put him in his place OTL. They have a certain intensity, but not over assertive or energetic where his cool + lazy personality clashes. More like compliments each other.
Abruptly slaps her hands down on the table and stands up.
"Lets go get Castelia Cones." Wow she's got such a serious expression on her face, it's almost comical.
"I feel like my heads gonna EXPLODE if I don't get out of this school for a bit." -@mortcha
* He nearly jumps out of his skin. Woah that was up against his eardrums practically .. but wait is she accepting his invitation for Castelia Cones?
" Wow, must be real bad. " Carmine was the last person to say yes to him. Kieran would sooner eat ice cream with him. Lofty smile turned puzzled and he slid from his seat to join her quick. Better go before she changes her mind-- " Like extra toppings bad. What's got you in a twist? Well you know, besides the- "
