many of my sexual fantasies and kinks boil down to ‘someone being really attracted to me and me not having to ask for affection, just be given it.” which could mean nothing.

And so they came, at a friend's behest. To Ishgard, shining city on the mount, overlooking the dominion of Coerthas... A land that after a thousand years of war had forgotten what it meant to be at peace.

3. To what degree is your OC's judgement impacted by the attractiveness of the person with whom they are dealing? Are they easily flattered or flustered by a pretty face? Or are they immune to such distractions when it comes to decision-making?

"Had you asked me this a couple of years ago my answer might have been very different. And yet we live and learn. The answer is minimally, if at all." He shrugged before crossing his arms over his chest.

"People can be attractive or unattractive and still have the poorest of intentions for you - why would that impact my decision making in the slightest? Besides - attractiveness is subjective and there are plenty of people who are conventionally attractive who, once they open their mouths, are inherently unattractive. Regardless, attempt to flatter me all you like - chances are I won't be aware of it in the first place, and second - if I am aware of it I'm going to assume you want something that you think I'm not inclined to give which means I'm going to be even less inclined to give you what you're asking for. I'm a stubborn bastard like that - you can ask my sister if you like. It's less about how you look and more about your approach."

Is your OC an early bird or a night owl? Are they happier burning the midnight oil and then sleeping in long after sunrise? Or are they usually tucked up by late evening, ready to rise and do something productive at dawn? How do they feel about people whose body clocks are different to their own in this regard?

Osric has always been more of a morning person. He was a light sleeper in his childhood, and that was something that was only reinforced during his time in the military. He finds that he can get more done in the early morning hours when everyone else is asleep.

Now - does that mean that he won't stay up late if a situation calls for it? No, and he often has. He has no problem "burning the midnight oil" if you will, he simply prefers to get up and going, versus putting things off and waiting until later in the day to take care of it.

This is also something that was only reinforced with the arrival of the wolves, and then later the twins, as they all needed attention in the early morning hours.

As far as others whose clocks work differently than his does - to each their own. His own sister had a preference for late nights versus early mornings - he didn't have to understand why to understand that for her it worked, and that's really his viewpoint. If it works for that individual then he doesn't need to understand it, it works for them.

Thanks @mimble-sparklepudding!

Simple OC Ask List 4.

How good are your OC's table manners? Are they confident eating and drinking in sophisticated company, or are they paralysed by self-consciousness? Are table manners something they even think of as being important? How well would they adjust to different cultural mores around table manners?

How successful would your OC be at surviving in the wilderness for any significant length of time?

To what degree is your OC's judgement impacted by the attractiveness of the person with whom they are dealing? Are they easily flattered or flustered by a pretty face? Or are they immune to such distractions when it comes to decision-making?

How organised is your OC? Do they keep everything labelled? Do they arrange books in alphabetical order? Meticulously manage their food stores or kitchen? Or do they exist in a state of constant chaos?

Has your OC ever smashed or broken something in frustration? Are they perhaps easily thrown into a rage by uncooperative technology, or angered by the symbols of an organisation they despise? How did they feel afterwards?

How would your OC occupy themselves if snowed in or trapped by a storm? Would they secretly enjoy the experience? Or would they feel hemmed in or restless?

Does your OC collect any sort of art or crafted items? Perhaps paintings by a particular artist or sculptures on a certain theme? Do they dream of one day filling their home with rich tapestries or a fortune in delicate porcelain?

If called upon to fight or respond with force to the unwelcome activities of another, how would your OC usually go about this? Would they throw themselves into the fray? Pick off enemies at a distance? Or dispatch an admirer or underling to take care of the situation on their behalf?

Is your OC an early bird or a night owl? Are they happier burning the midnight oil and then sleeping in long after sunrise? Or are they usually tucked up by late evening, ready to rise and do something productive at dawn? How do they feel about people whose body clocks are different to their own in this regard?

What is the most surprisingly sensitive part of your OC's body? Is it particularly ticklish? An unexpected erogenous zone? Or perhaps a wound that never truly recovered after an injury? How do they respond to it being touched?
