In honor of the late Valentine's Day, what would be the perfect gift for your Romanus to receive from their RO? What item, or gesture would mean the most? You can imagine the RO in question knows some — or most — of your Romanus' backstory if that helps. 😊

In that same vein, what would your Romanus give their RO (or ROs)? What do you think they'd appreciate more? A gift or a gesture? An adventure or a quiet afternoon spent alone? A kiss or a promise?

Do tell.🌹

I think some things have already been mentioned for what I think my Romanus' would like or give in return, so in regards to what has not been stated already My reason Romanus has the farmer background and has interests in literature/ architecture/ the arts/ things of beauty, but also can appreciate the simpler things coming from a humble background. She probably would be excited with whatever she's given as long as long as it's considerate. Flowers? shes never been gifted that before; she'll smile like a dope and hold onto them for the longest before they eventually wither and then suddenly Billy has a luscious mane of garland hair. A trip to an unknown destination? Appeals to her natural appetite for knowledge and the forbidden. Her playthroughs are with Hadrian or Alain so I could see her trying to utilize their backgrounds and history to try and do or give something in relation to what she learns about them, their interests or things relating to their home growing up. For Hadrian possibly learning more about the church and it's history (from a scholarly stand point at least) maybe talks of visiting religious locations of note. For Alain I could see her trying to start a series of drawings of the birds they came across together noting the details of the moment the birds were sighted and little notes of Alain's excitement levels. My pious Romanus is interested in Neia or Rafael so with both she's the type of person to try and do things to make their life easier. An act of service type of person who just wants to help others in general as an extension of her love and being, which can be overbearing so if they even put up with that is a gift in itself. She'd also reason that those two in particular are the type that need it anyways. That being said she still has the hunter background and can't help but also like shiny new weapons. That or something sentimental no matter the condition or item, something to help decorate the space she's come to make for herself in an attempt of stability. Doing something nice for others, especially others she cares about, would make her heart melt too. The ultimate gift for her I think would just be a promise of a future which I think she would hold onto desperately no matter how fleeting promises can be. My combat Romanus also has a hunter background so he's kind of practical and not very materialistic. Even he can't deny some of life's simple pleasures though- hot baths with a nice drink, hearty meals, sturdy leathers/furs, and woodcraft. He's also one for armor and weapons but I think the ultimate gifts he would want are some he wouldn't be conscious of due to the sentimentality of it. I can see him being nostalgic for bear fur as morbid as that sounds, I feel like bear fur items, or even a bear rug, would be one of the few extravagances he would be drawn towards only to treat it like a blanket or mattress as a poor substitute for the real thing if he ever got his hands on some. His first play through will be with Ysabella and I noticed a reoccurring theme of her scenarios showing Romanus' admiration towards her hair (and her whole being lol) and it made me think of my Romanus gaining a habit of absently twirling a curl around his finger when lost in thought around her! I think his association with her and her hair would be so entwined that for him the best thing she could ever give him would be something he would secretly make himself. Without her knowledge, perhaps, he would take the strands of her hair leftover from her brush and collect enough to eventually just start braiding it into a bracelet that he wouldn't even wear- just keep to himself because what's more of a gift from someone than an actual part of that person? He is also an act of service person so I think for Ysabella he'd do his best to do something that would help her goals or even just be an accomplice in getting her a temporary escape from the burdens of her life. On the opposite side my gold loving influence Romanus is shamelessly materialistic and with her merchant background she appreciates quality or something rare. Though she's not always about the expense of things, she would like anything flashy given to her, a medallioned belt? brightly dyed scarves and frilly shirts and skirts? It would mean so much to her even if she can't wear it due to her actively subduing herself outwardly since being on the run. It's not a surprise that draws her towards the peacocks of the cast -Lance and TPK -but fortunately her big personality can't be contained the same way for better or worse. Ironically I think her gifts to them wouldn't even be items. Her approach would probably be learning about their craft/trade as a way to relate to them, what it takes to sea-fare (while trying to control her fear of water during those moments) or perform songs. Being a natural storyteller I could see her weaving a tale for them- a continuous story mixing tales and reality of things and situations they've never been in, have been in, or want be in. It would star suspiciously familiar protagonists and she won't end it, not because she wants to keep them in suspense, but because she's not good at ending stories.
