#pk's love for lurien is kind of alien in that wyrms cant be anything but posessive

lurien/pale king, 1, 16, 34?

My boiiis! Love them <3

1. Describe their first date.

-They've had many an incident that would probably count as accidental dates, but their first actual courtship date would be an extremely awkward affair where PK goes to the Tower dressed in the nines (courtesy of WL), Lurien grooms himself excessively and then hides it all under a full body cloak, and despite there being wine and sweets out with the clear idea of this supposed to be a Good Time, they spend the entire time awkwardly avoiding looking at each other before finally getting into a very serious conversation about the nature of what this relationship is going to mean, how there's an inherent difference between their affections as a result of their species and power divide, and all the contingency plans to prevent said relationship from affecting the kingdom or putting Lurien himself in harm. PK would most likely have Lurien swear a binding oath to place the kingdom and himself before him, and then tell him all the ways to wound or kill him if necessary. Then they'd both make each other swear oaths to kill each other if needed to secure the safety of the populace and would part ways without touching each other. Great job, boys.

16. Would they ever get matching tattoos? If yes, what would these look like?

-Bugverse no, gijinkaverse yes; or, at the very least, in gijinkaverse Lurien would get a tattoo of the Pale Wyrm, because he's a powerful sorcerer who gets most of said power from directly invoking the power of the Pale King (is that what a paladin is? idk i dont play dnd) so it's not just about devotion and romance, it's also a vast help for spellcasting. PK's tattoo would be more metaphorical in that Lurien's influence on him is a mark on his mind and soul, one that he likely strung protective wards around to prevent him from overwhelming and/or harming Lurien.

(With bugverse its a no not because tattoos don't exist, but because Lurien is mostly made of fluff and PK's carapace is so tough that the only thing that would be capable of carving or staining it would be the fang of a wyrm dipped in void. The soul-link between him and Lurien is still there tho)

34. Do they have any inside jokes?

-Oh you bet your fucking ass they have inside jokes. They have so many inside jokes. You'd never know that they were inside jokes, because they're all extremely flat-toned sarcastic remarks about irritating things they have to deal with when running the kingdom, but they bring amusement, so damnit they count. Also among the mix is the inside joke of PK constantly trying to find ways to arm Lurien with various rudimentary firearms to augment his soulcasting while Lurien tries to get him to stop experimenting with explosives to begin with, which is a futile game that is almost entirely ritualized and for show at this point.

(so far they've settled for a miniature lightweight crossbow that Lurien can keep under his robes and load with poison darts if needed, but PK keeps trying to push for a rudimentary flintlock pistol, and Lurien keeps refusing on the basis of being very flammable)
