You could ask a relationship question in one of the other Q&A threads, but I thought a thread specifically for relationship questions would be fun, and good for developing character relationships! 

In this thread, ask a question to the character a person posted above you in the thread, about a relationship in their life. You'll post IC as a character you would like to be asked about, and edit your post with your character's answer after the person below you asks them a question!

  • The relationships in this thread don't have to be romantic! You could ask about a character's relationship with their sibling, their parents, their child, their dog, their rival, their boss, their worshippers-- you get the idea!
  • If you want the person below to ask about a particular relationship (or give specific options, like either their brother or their best friend), you can specify at the bottom of your post; otherwise, people will ask you about a relationship that's listed on the character's profile. If you don't specify and no relationships are listed, you'll probably get a vague and potentially unfitting question like what their relationship with their mom is, so I recommend having at least one relationship listed somewhere.
  • Questions can be anything: how the characters met, their favorite thing about the other character, silly nicknames, the worst fight they ever had, their favorite memory together, their plans for the future-- anything about a relationship the character has. Try to ask an interesting or thoughtful question!
  • That said-- this is NOT intended to be a low-effort thread. You are expected to look at the profiles of each character you are asking about (at least whatever section describes their relationship or history together), and try to think of a relevant question to their relationship. The only exception is if there really is nothing on the characters' pages to base your question on.
  • This is not a NSFW thread. Questions and answers can be a little bit racy, but nothing above PG-13. There are other threads for adult questions.
  • This is generally an IC thread, but you can answer OOC if you want to or if you need to say something that the character wouldn't.
  • Claim first if you need time to read the character's profile. Please ping the person above you so you make sure that they see your response! If you're not sure how to do this, you simply type @THEIRUSERNAME, and they will be notified! This will not work if you edit the ping into your comment later (like if you wanted to claim and then edit your question in); you must put it in when you first submit the comment.
  • You are NOT ALLOWED to skip anyone in this thread. If you cannot see the post above you because the poster or you have blocked each other, wait for another person to comment before replying to the thread. Feel free to bump the thread to encourage others to participate!
  • Wait at least a couple of posts before going again.
  • You can bump the thread as often as you like; I don't mind.
  •  BE NICE and have fun!

Terry Lovejoy PicklePantry

Terry took a moment to drink some coffee, sleepy eyes watching her thoughtfully. "So," he finally started. "This Cedrick guy, does he act that way to everyone? Why's he got that stalker attitude around you? Do your siblings know about him? If so, how'd they react? Or, how do you think they'd react to hearing about him?"


"It is pretty strange, isn't it?" Terry mused while slowly swirling the coffee in his mug. "Well one day I was on my way to work and caught this tough guy giving me the dirtiest look. Didn't think much of it and went about my dad. Saw him again a few days later when I was in the corner store getting a drink. He approached me and tried to talk me out of buying a burrito. I think I was the first person that wasn't fazed by his intimidation tactic; the look on his face when I ate the burrito in front of him was priceless. He just kept... coming by more frequently to check on me and say I was in no health to be out and about. After a while, I don't know, I started liking having him around. Next thing you know, we're a couple. Funny how that works, huh?"

??? GalaxieAuLait

Ooh, so you have a guy you like? How did you and the man meet? I wouldn't ever imagine a dead-inside dude like you would hook up with a gangster of all people, must be a bit of an interesting story!


"Mm, well! When I first met Travis, he was walking with who I'd later find out was Elwyn. We met eyes for a moment, and, it felt like we'd known each other forever within that instant! Ahh, it was wonderful! But, also a little terrifying now, because I'm beginning to suspect something else is going on that made it like that, but in the moment it was so magical!" Conri dramatically clenches a fist to his chest, very obviously playing up the more romantic parts of his feelings. "When will my dear Travis feel the same way~? He only thinks of me as someone to worry about, and not in the good way...." He then proceeded to say "Sigh" aloud, as if that would actually pass for a real sigh, and then regained a smirk on his face. "Does that answer your question?"

Who would MJ say is closest to her?  Does she have a best friend or someone closer to her?  If there is someone, why does she like them so much?  If not, what would she look for in a partner?


> Do any of your siblings know about Athauror? What do they think  about the relationship? Have you ever talked to Athauror about how they  treated you when you were young?

"Ha...ha...ha...I really hope they don't...If they do, they haven't said anything...I'm not sure how they're going to take it.  No one's going to approve, I know that much.  But...how badly are they going to take it?  I have no idea.  I haven't talked to Athauror much about them, if I'm honest.  Just little snippets.  But I think he knows something is going on..."

Do any of your siblings know about Athauror? What do they think about the relationship? Have you ever talked to Athauror about how they treated you when you were young?


"Mmm? When I can't find it, it's usually because a certain 'angel' ran off with it. The circus folk are used to it by now, trouble is some of them won't tell me where she's run off."


"Love? Like how I love Mama Ary? Oh, no, you mean like how that one loves me. I don't understand it, to be truthful. She should have picked someone better, more affectionate, maybe. I don't think I'm very good at love, but that's not for lack of trying. Maybe it takes practice?"

Emil regarded the elf for a moment, a bright glimmer of curiosity in his pale gaze. "How do you balance work and life with your husband?" he wondered, softening somewhat when he mentioned the stranger's partner. "Are there things he does 'on duty' that bother you, or is the sea between you generally calm?" The idea of contention in a relationship was not alien to him, and he found himself wondering how others dealt with it. He hoped Xerox's methods were healthier than his own.

(( for reference, Emil has 4 brothers, one of whom is his twin, in addition to his parents and the relationships listed on his profile! ))

------

Emil paused for a long moment before answering Helem, his expression tense, somewhere between thoughtful and resentful. “I live in his palace,” he explained, hesitant. “I see him often. At first it was joining him for dinner, maybe once or twice a week, but now it’s daily. Or nightly.” he sighed lightly, fingers idly curling in his hair, a small comfort for his anxious heart. Another pause followed, his furrowed brow and pursed lips indicated his thought process: wrestling with how open he should be. “Bear… doesn’t care. He can’t. He serves as Palamon’s captain faithfully, and foremost. I don’t think I can fault him for that. And my brothers… well, I doubt they care much either.” Emil finished with a quick, frustrated exhale. It was not a topic for pleasant conversation.

Helem Wrong-Q-Etude

"How do you put up with Palamon? Are you forced to see him often or do you only have to see him every now and then?" Helem began blurting out random questions that had started to come to the surface of his mind. "Oh, and how does Bear deal with the situation that you are in with Palamon? Actually, how do your siblings feel about this?" Helem questioned as he finished asking all the questions he had in mind. 

spoilered for slight talk of depression (not detailed) and for just how long it is lol

“Well, Nuria likes to act mature (even though I swear she’s more childish than us all combined) and has too many mental issues, while Joshua is a super sweet kid with a big love for the moon and stars almost to the point is an obsession.” Helem tries to sum up the two people he loves in a short sentence, but he swore it didn’t come out that right.

“Well, we tend to visit Big Mugs Café on Sundays. Sometimes the rest of the group comes along, but it’s usually just the three of us. Nuria loves their chocolate lovers stuff and Joshua loves the star-shaped cookies they make just for him.” Helem snickered as he remembered the moment Joshua got them to make him some star-shaped cookies.

“I like to take Nuria shopping and spoil her when she lets me, it isn’t often but it’s a real treat when she lets me! As for Joshua, I usually teach him some magic techniques or read to him stories about the moon and stars. On days when homework is bad, the two of us will sit together and try to get it all sorted out.” He spoke with a wide grin as he happily talked and rambled on about the two.

“Uh… When Nuria and I first met I was in a very bad state. I was severely depressed to the point I more than likely would have accidentally killed myself from forgetting to eat something… I gotta say what made me love her was the fact despite being a total stranger she tried to make me feel better, make me not feel so sad about my losses. Also, she comes off with the strangest of nicknames. Glowputz has got to be the most recent one” Helem spoke fondly of her trying to suppress his laughter at the thought of the list of strange nicknames she had amounted.

“I worry that what happened to Joshua has done permanent damage, he’s a bit slower than the other kids and often has these weird fits where he can’t understand what’s going on around him… Joshua is too sweet to act out violently and I doubt he’ll ever go through that typically ‘teenager angst stage’ although sometimes I wish he would, it might make me not worry as much” Helem spoke nervously and panicked as he thought back on instances.

“I think Joshie will go on to be a caretaker of the stars, he just has that ethereal air to him. It wouldn’t surprise me” Helem spoke with a shrug.

"You've been betrothed to your cousin since before you were born? That sounds like a hard situation. How do you feel about the arrangement: do you wish you could break it off?"

"And do you truly dislike Yuna, or are you just frustrated that you're stuck with her?"


(oof sorry for the super late reply; also this will be written from the perspective of early in the comic) How well do you get along with your bandmates? Is there one that you like best? Are you uncomfortable or nervous around any of them?

He laughs softly. "Well, as much as he's a pain in my arse, my brother's still one of my favorite people on this earth. Roadie and I get on well as well; we can always chat about the technical side of music. Xero seems like a nice enough fellow, and I'd say the same for Izzy, except that sometimes I worry about his ideas. Kay trusts him though, so I do too."

"Oh, I don't mind at all. Hm, the story really starts when I was summoned. My kind are dreams, more or less, and don't exist physically in his reality. Being brought to it was confusing, painful, and frightening. I was lucky to be found by someone and taken to the circus. He's one of the first I met there, being it's tailor and a friend of my dear Jiwoo. I suppose you could say, it was love at first sight. Then again, it was more of attraction. Still, he took the time to know me, and showed me a level of care I'd never know. As I like to say, he made it feel like a dream again."

Does Elise like,,,have any friends?  Her relationships listed in her bio all seem to range from distant-to-strained-to-antagonistic, it seems like she has no one to really talk to/casually hang out with.  If not, does that upset her or is she fine on her own?  Does it impact her ability to network for her career?

---

"Guh- I fucking WISH we could just have a fight!  But he won't!  He always just makes some stupid joke when I'm trying to be SERIOUS and it makes me want to STAB HIM."  She mimes the stabbing in a few jerky motions to work out some frustration on the empty air in front of her.  "We don't really do the cold shoulder thing around here, don't know what to tell your...friend about whatever issues they're having with whoever the fuck."

 Summoner Erandia [FEH] Erandia

"Not that I'm prying buuuut... Has there been a moment wherein you and your dad had a big fight? Like, do you ever just, throw your hands up and be all 'done' with him not taking you seriously? And, do you ever... like regret and stuff and what do you do to make it up because you don't want to end up giving each other the cold shoulder and ahaha oh look I'm rambling!" Stella smiled stiffly, trying her best not to show panic in her voice. "I-I'm just asking for a friend for advice... yeah! AhAHAH"


"Oh, Freddy?" The summoner beamed at the mention of her High General. "Yeah! He's my number one right hand man!" Contemplating the question further, Stella paused before continuing.

"While my Heroes would claim how I have done feats worthy to be toe to toe with some of the more famed Tactician Heroes, it was never that way from the start. Quite frankly, I was terrible at my job, often making mistakes and breaking down in panic." She smiled fondly, a memory flashing through her head.

"That's where Frederick comes in. Along with a few handful of Heroes, he helped me get used to things, guided me through my first few battles, and reassured me that I will get better through training. Unlike Xander, who was carrying my team and who was more focused ON the team, Frederick redirected his focus of attention towards me." She sighs, further expanding. "Hell, he was practically running the army for me during those first few months. No wonder Al treated me with caution back then." Erandia grimaced, mentally apologizing at the Prince for her lack of abilities.

"Now that I've actually managed to get a grasp on things, I'm not so heartless as to just treat him like an ordinary soldier. So, for lack of a better description, I 'married' him." Stella laughs at the somewhat surprised looked at her confession. "Relax, I use 'married' but it's more formally called a Support. Normally, reaching S on another unit would mean marriage but it can also mean devotion and loyalty. Not all S-Supports are romantic in nature." She leans back, as she combed her mind for more details she could add.

"It's precisely for that reason I call him my High General, just a distinction and my appreciation. Honestly? He'll probably wear that title until he requests to be sent home or if the war finally ceases." Stella winked, her eyes twinkling in mischief. "Leeeet's not make that last part known to others, okay? The Council probably expects me to place someone else my High General, fat chance at that." She laughs, fondness and affection present in her voice for her right-hand man.

((A little funfact OOC: Frederick is the entire reason why I got into FE AND Summer!Frederick in particular is what got me to play Heroes. Needless to say, the position of Summoner Support wont go to anyone but him.))
