40, 41, 44, 47 from the otp meme for lann+thea!
Who is the most affectionate?
I think they're both pretty equal affection wise. Both of them definitely do have baggage re: affection because they both are more comfortable showing affection physically for the most part though Lann is a bit better at verbal affection.
Lann's verbal affection kind of takes a bit for Thea to get used to because he's so genuine about it and she's wanted it for so long. Thea is very used to being wanted, admired, idolized but not genuinely loved. She's very raw and sensitive when it comes to that so she kinda bristles sometimes.
Lann during his romance also kind of gives me the vibe that being good at sexual intimacy is like his Thing that makes being in a relationship with him worthwhile. Like a "I know I'm a mongrel and unattractive and not the best man for you BUT-" Especially considering his first partner was Wendaug which definitely gave him a complex. Almost like he has to prove himself?? (which applies to other facets of his life too so I'm not surprised it translates to relationships and physical intimacy)
So they both gotta work on other aspects of affection besides sex in both accepting and giving :')
Who is the big spoon/little spoon?
Big spoon is definitely Lann! I think Thea likes the feeling of being protected because she does so much protecting other people but has never had a person make her feel so safe and secure before. Also, Thea is a warm little potato and Lann likes to hold her because it warms him up. Their other fav sleeping position is Lann on his back with Thea curled into his scaled side.
What are their nicknames for each other?
Lann calling Thea beautiful during their in-game romance I almost died so I'm running with it. Thea definitely calls him handsome in return. I can see Lann calling her sweetheart too. Thea definitely is tease with things like "big guy" and "tiger" jokingly.
Who says I love you first? How did it happen?
They're both so stupid about stuff like this I keep going back and forth but I think it ends up being Lann because he just can't hold it in any longer. Their relationship during the game is weird because they're obviously seeing each other and sleeping together and clearly adore each other but they both have kinda attributed it to 1) it's the crusade and everyone is stressed and we need a little bit of happiness and 2) both of them saying to themselves like ok we can talk about it if we survive.
But Lann finally can't anymore and as much as I love the scene in the actual romance, I don't think he makes a big romantic deal of it because it would be too much for Thea and he knows that. I think it's during a quiet sweet moment when they're falling asleep or just a quiet moment when he says it.
And Thea doesn't reply that night and he's okay with it, he's okay if she doesn't love him because he gets to have this with her for right now and that's even enough for him. But in the morning when they leave for the day she kisses him and tells him 'I love you.' :') because she had to work up the courage.
They both have dopey smiles the rest of the day.

hey guys
have a little thingy i did w my ocs. avery is a wolf and juliette is a bunny for context... it takes place sometime mid 1800s havent decided yet lmao. i am NOT explaiming their whole lore but yeah lets just. go. also predator/prey racism system is like in zootopia but ramped up abit because it's the 1800s cmon. oh yeah also im sosorry for the lack of indents i wrote this on my musty old phone
"so... philadelphia, huh?" avery snorted as he flopped down less than gracefully onto the train bench. "what's so special 'bout it anyway? jus' seems like another stuck-up, pompous city wit' a bunch of stuck-up, pompous animals to go with it. 's like a package deal wit' cities."
avery leaned back sideways on the bench, his head hitting the wall. he stole a quick glance over at juli and shook his head. "no offense." a pause. "actually, no, all offense." he curled up in the corner of the seat, his tail curled almost protectively around himself. he huffed and stared out of the window.
juliette sighed and self-consciously pulled her dress down across her knees. "well, sor-RY. guess you're used to it by now."
"used to what? you forcin' me to go on this stupid train ride and inevi.. in.. hold on." avery stopped for a moment, seemingly thinking, only the tip of his tail moving. "inevita... i-nev-i-ta-ble-y. inevitably talkin' my ear off the whole way?" he finally got out, looking proud of himself for a moment before his usual scowl creased his face. "'cause i ain't."
"no, avery," juli groaned, pinching the bridge of her nose in frustration. "i mean, used to being pushed around. by our kind." she made a wild gesture with her paw, looking around almost desperately. "you know... rabbits, mice-" she pointed to the train attendant, who had been especially rude to avery while the pair had been boarding the car. "-deer, haha. uh... um-"
"yeah, ya runnin' outta prey to name? i got it, thanks," avery snarled, his lip curling dangerously and his tail lashing, brushing against the leather seat.
"r-right. uh." juli searched for somehow, something to change the subject. giving up, she let out a long and- if she was being honest, purposely exaggerated- sigh, and mirrored avery's sulking against the window.
there was a few beats of tensioned silence, before avery broke it with another snort.
"ha. there ya are, mopin' by the window, waitin' for me to comfort you. it's this thing with girls, i've learned."
juliette indignantly opened her mouth to retort, even though she inwardly knew avery was right.
"aaaand there it is," he drawled with a rude-sounding chuckle. "see, this is why i don't do comfort. whatever needs to be said, it'll be that way eventually. if it never is, it wasn't important enough."
"that's awful!"
"tha's jus' life, darlin'. now go on and tell me, and rest assured, i won't care." avery made a dramatic slicing motion with both his arms and then fell back against the seat, grinning triumphantly. his top canines curled out prominently, and juli just shook her head with a sad sigh.
"the whole reason we're on this train.. my father sent for me."
"woah, the big guy himself, eh? must be quite a day."
juli glared daggers at the wolf- sprawled out disrespectfully on the seat in front of her- before going on. "i don't mean to appear rude, but... you probably don't understand how rich families truly work..." juli waited for a sneer, a laugh, some kind of snide remark from avery- but it never came. good, atleast he might be kind of paying attention.
"the men get the inheritance, the money, the power, the choices. while the women... get the chance to-"
"marry into just another pretentious jackass household?" avery tore his eyes away from the window, and juliette lifted her gaze from her lap.
"yeah..." she breathed. it wasn't anything special, what avery said. but the satisfaction of knowing he was listening at all was enough for juli.
"my father wants to marry me off. for the money, i assume." juli hung her head once again, wringing her paws and her nose twitching nervously in that way all rabbits did. "unfair, methinks, after running away to philadelphia immediately after receiving the dowry and inheritance. i don't want to see him- he ruined my mother's life. and in turn, mine." her paws curled into fists at her sides. "i much less don't want to marry someone like him--"
"then you shouldn't have to." avery's voice was as stubborn and angry-sounding as it always was, but there was a tone of softness in it that juli had never heard him use before. "fuck ya da. fuck the rules. who cares? why'd ya even get on the train in the first place?"
"my mother would be disappointed," juliette whispered, her ear tips stinging slightly from the strong curses flowing from avery's mouth as if they were slaps to the face.
"ya know what, fuck ya ma, too." juli's ears twitched involuntarily and angled away. "i saw that!" avery shouted, earning him a loud hush from the train attendant. he glared at him before leaning closer to juli and dropping his voice volume slightly. "you listen to me, dollface. if ya don't wanna do it, who on god's green earth is gonna make you?? no one, that's who."
"i have to marry into a rich family. i barely get a choice," juli sobbed, wiping her eyes with the back of her paw.
"yeah, well- it ain't right." avery nudged juli's paw away from her face gentler than both of them would have expected him to. "listen, when we get to philadelphia, you'll see. i'm sure ya da ain't all that anyways."
avery swallowed suddenly and returned to his curled-up state in the corner of his seat.
"thank you," juliette breathed out. "for that."
"'t was nothin'," avery mumbled, running his paws across the brush of his tail.
they rode in complete- though comfortable- silence for the rest of the trip.
