🍻 for Lenka &/or anyone else you’d like to share for? c:
Thanks so much for the ask @mimabeann ^^ I've already answered this for Lenka so I'm gonna go with the Cold Stare & Sharp Cheekbones family
🍻: What's your OC's favourite comfort ritual? How do they calm themselves down after a rough day?

Oktavian
I only have those silly expression meme art of them sorry :")
He really needs some self care tips 🙃 He gets bonus points for trying but he hardly ever has time to focus solely on himself. He likes to lay on his bed (or the floor when he's really desperate lol) and watch the city lights flicker - or a candle flame in Dragon Age AU - but he's not really used to peaceful moments like this and the silence often makes him feel homesick. Sometimes he'll write letters to his siblings, even though Titus is the only one who writes back or share a glass of wine with Aedan. He usually goes for the second option, they'll have a deep conversation or just sit around, talk about nothing. He's Oktavian's best friend and the only person around which he can truly be himself - he can talk about his worries and emotions without feeling guilty about burdening him with his problems. Aside from all this, Oktavian and Veronica love taking long rides out of town, singing along to the radio, though they don't really do that often anymore. They usually listen to Queen, it's Oktavians favourite band.

Titus
He and Veronica used to train ballet as children and while Vera hated every moment of it, Titus fell in love with dancing at the very first sight. He doesn't have time for ballet classes anymore, his mother made sure of that, but he still loves dancing, it helps him relieve stress. If he's had a really bad day, he'll read the letters he got from Oktavian or write some extremely honest/emotional letters himself though he usually ends up burning them, he doesn't want to worry his brother needlessly.
Tumblr media
Veronica
Bold of you to assume she can simply calm down. She'll most likely act as if nothing happened and lock up in her room/chamber though she's not very good at hiding her emotions so sooner or later someone will notice it.
If it's Aedan, he'll probably give her some time and space to sort it out herself but there's 50% chance he'll stay, they'll share a cigarette and have a conversation. They'll vent about Villem and Tevinter politics, talk about the past, Vera will tell Aedan he should quit smoking, he'll laugh it off, probably crack some depressing jokes about how miserable the two of them are. They'll stay on Veronica's balcony to watch the stars in silence. They might hold hands
If it's Oktavian, he won't leave her alone until she tells him what upset her. He usually suspects what happened but he'd prefer to know it from her than act on false assumptions. He'll stay with her for as long as she needs, he'll bring some food and read her a book if she feels like it. He's done that ever since they were kids, he has a very soothing voice and Vera loves listening to it. He'll also try to cheer her up with his dad/big brother jokes.
And if it's Titus, he'll burst into Veronica's room without asking, bring tons of snacks and watch Sabrina the Teenage Witch with her (it's her favourite show but shh). Indigo and Nunno will probably join them. When it comes to DA AU they'll most likely play cards until Titus one of them falls asleep on Vera's bed.
