Ellen is kind of awful at anything to do with romance, but given that Jerald's idea of a good courtship gift was a sword, I don't think that was a real problem. I think protectiveness is more the way she expresses that kind of thing than anything else.

I have no idea for Ahsoka since she is a jedi and actually followed the no romance thing, unlike some jedi we could name. Maybe actions or protecting the other person.

Asajj woudl express things by what she is willing to do for he other person. Also protectiveness. She's 90% asexual in my head though, so this is a guess.

Rollo...I would say he expresses himself in the bedroom.

Sam makes breakfast or drops everything to help you find your amnesiac best friend whom you thought was dead. To be more serious, actions and words I think.

Hank expresses himself by spending time with you or talking about things that excite him or the other person.

Quinlan primarily expresses through actions. Little things that make the other person's day easier.

Luidaeg will share a very private time or life with you but with very specific conditions. If you violate those conditions, she is gone.

Tybalt will die for you. He will also show off, both his skill as a protector and his wit. He doesn't do poetry but he will make declarations of affection that would easily fit within a Shakespeare sonnet.

Selina throws bagels at you or dares you to kiss her. Some stalking might happen too.

X expresses hers through a lot of hand-holding, face-touching (with hands), pulse-taking, and full-body sprawling.

Raven will be an asshole to you forever and forever and forever.

Nynaeve will tell you flat-out, you bloody idiot, and then she will be the most mother-henny of them all.

Ysalwen will let you see her private personality, which is softer and a lot more exhausted than her public face. She tends toward the small gestures of caring and remembering tiny details of something you said you liked that one time and oh, man, six months later here is one of those!

Dean's really awesome as self-sacrificing gestures that take him straight out of your life, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

Galadan is perfectly willing to end the world for lack of you, or, you know, if you're THAT kind of person . . . . maybe try saving it for awhile shut up.

Michael is a judgy angel who will irritate the fuck out of you until you get off your ass and do the things that will make you happy. She's not built to do them FOR you.

Wonder Woman takes time out of her schedule do just do low-key hanging out and dates and cuddling. And epic quests to prove your worth, but whatever.

Dejah lives a very isolated life by definition of her position and her upbringing. She sees her staff, her students, her retinue, and a few close friends and family. She's never alone but she's always apart from everyone except a handful of people. Those people she is physically demonstrative with. Hugs are especially cherished. She gets one from her father every week.

I don't think she'd ever been touched as much by anyone until she met John, and he was always bodily molesting her, picking her up and putting her where he wanted, to many giggles and mock protests. Tars Tarkas picked up on this blatant display of affection and will gladly squeeze the stuffing out of her. So she reveals her emotions for someone when she touches them. It's not a conscious thing, really. Hand-holding, leaning shoulder to shoulder, these are practically rooftop oratories for her. Cuddles are declarations of undying affection.

:O, goes Curtis as he looks back over all their interactions to date.

(...okay, he is FAR less shocked since their latest thread, but still.)

Yeah, I figured Curtis is so used to living elbow to elbow to people, the idea that someone might actually be touch-starved is utterly foreign to him.

Death - will bend the rules for you a little. Sometimes, he will give you hints in your particular fight. He also deals with you a lot more than he otherwise would. He also brings your food. Wait, doesn't this sound like a few episodes of SPN? He doesn't really love like the Jump-your-bones typeo even brotherly type, he's more the I-actually-like-you-more-than-the-rest-of-your-kind type. He has a soft spot for kids though, well behaved kids. As a matter of fact, he has no urges in the romantic type of love at all. I guess he cares for those he considers children. I also think that he is friends with Chuck, and that is probably the closest to love or even friendship he has.

Daniel- well, he's the type to spend a lot of time with the person he loves, and if things get serious, well they get serious. He's also the kind to do anything for his wife. And now he's the kind that is still pining for her, but he is opening up to possibilities of a relationship.

Vala- She's much more straight forward than Daniel, and she will let you know.

Naruto- Well, he's still a kid, and as such gets crushes. He still has a giant one for Sakura, and will do what she asks, despite the fact that he knows she will never love him the same way.

Tass- You know I have never really gotten into what he'd do for his loved ones. I know in the books, he started to fear for their safety, which was strange as he's a Kender. But for the Romantic love, he's probably spend a lot of time with them, maybe acquiring a few things of theirs just to see what they like. Of course, I've never thought about him generally as a romantic.

The other pups, those in the works and my OC, I am not gonna get into. I need to get my damned homwork done. When I care for someone, either romantically or otherwise, I cook for them. I make them things, and I also try to understand the things they like. In certain relationships there is cuddling, like with my mom, a boyfriend, or strangely enough my buddy Ari.

Floki will build a ship for you and betray the king for you and sacrifice your BFF to the gods for you and oh wait.

dammit floki

The phrase "dammit Floki" pretty much sums up his arc in season 3.

So does that mean Rollo's season 2 was "dammit Rollo"? Though I remember some pretty shitty things in season 1, too.

... and that third part is where he made a dreadful, dreadful mistake, the poor guy. Or perhaps more of a mismatching of concepts. In any case, he got it all wrong.-

For all of these, I'm gonna assume we're talking about close friendship as well as romance!

Enjolras is a tactile kind of guy, so if he's comfortable with you (...and you're a guy, because 19th century) there'll be a fair amount of casual touches to your shoulder, arm, hand, whatever. Unless you're the kind of person who gives off NO DON'T TOUCH ME OKAY THANKS vibes. That's comfort level, though. His love and caring, he expresses by 1) earnestly listening to whatever you're saying at whatever length and being interested for the sake of your interest, even if he has no idea what you're talking about, and 2) telling you how awesome you are and how highly he regards you. Directly to your face, or possibly proclaimed from the top of a barricade to an entire crowd. (Hi Feuilly!)

Thor is also pretty direct! He'll call you "my friend," he'll tell you he respects you, he'll listen to your opinion and advice and give them weight even if he disagrees. He's more likely to tell other people how awesome you are than to spell it out to you directly, but hey, if you ask or if it seems in doubt, he'll tell you. He'll also joke around with you and generally show it with actions.

If we're talking romance: he's more inclined to romantic gestures (hand-kissing, other kissing, gazing into eyes, scooping you up to go flying hi Jane) than to murmuring sweet nothings, but again, he'll tell you directly how much he respects your awesomeness! And, again, stand up for you to other people too.

Cosette will tease and cajole and mock-scold you about taking care of yourself, and so forth. If it's romance, she'll also gaze into your eyes, murmur sweet nothings, etc, etc -- the courtship of Marius and Cosette as described in the book involves a lot of gazing at each other and at stars and going "no, I love YOU more" and similar sugary sappiness, which clearly works for both of them, so okay.

Kazul will declare you to be sensible.

Also she'll threaten to eat people who annoy you sufficiently, although at that point she'll probably be annoyed with them to the point of threatening to eat them on her own behalf as well. We have no canonical evidence of Kazul in a romantic relationship, nor of whether dragons even believe in that -- although she does have grandkids! -- but I can't really picture any relationship not being essentially founded on grudging admission of the other's sensible nature.

Friends are totally valid to answer for with this. =]

Bossuet will make questionable jokes at you, pass out drunk on your couch, sleep with your significant other, mock you within your circle of friends, tell everyone else that you're the most amazing person in the world, and die on a barricade with you for the Republic. Straight-forward communication, uh, not so much.

Feuilly will talk with you at great length about things in a very earnest way, possibly with bonus hand-clasping and shoulder-patting. He doesn't have much experience with the romantic and sexual varieties of affection, but I'm pretty sure there's earnestness and long conversations about Polish history involved. (Also, you know, telling everyone you're an amazing person and dying on a barricade with you.)

The Chief will yell at you to get out of her office, but she'll also hook you up with a subscription to National Geographic and salute you with a magnifying glass. (Actually, she probably knows how to have a pretty rad date?)

Gredya is very tactile and close with other Wyr. I mean, you know, they're wolf people. In her canon she develops a friendship with a human. It's not exactly effusive, but at one point she licks her cheek. It's sweet. She can also be very protective of people she cares about. The Wrath of Gredya will very likely fall on anyone who messes with Father Harman here in Milliways.

*sad headshaking at Lesgle* A bourgeois upbringing does terrible things to a man.

Gene - will shout at you in a way that is more mocking than outright aggressive. If you're a woman, he'll leer at you, compliment you on your tits and then, maybe, actually say 'well done' if you've done a good job...and then order you to buy him a drink.

Javert - ....n/a.

Valjean - will go for long walks with (Cosette) you, listen to (Cosette) you prattle away and find it delightful, actively encourage (Cosette) you to wax on for hours about the man you love despite it breaking your heart, will remove himself from (Cosette's) your life in case his past damages your future, and then wither away and die to save you the trouble of putting up with him.

Bruce Wayne - tactile contact (but he has to really care about you for that to mean anything), and he'll verbalise it when he means it.

Bruce Banner - is not demonstrative. When someone pushes, and he trusts they mean it, he'll open up a little bit by talking about it. But mainly, he just sits on it, because he can't act on it anyway, so what's the point of getting his, or anyone else's, hopes up?

Courfeyrac - drink with you, hug you, jump on you, laugh at you, clamber over you, loudly declare his affection to the world, banter with you, basically shine all over you, because he's just that kind of lovely. And full-on. :D

Pearly - n/a

Moriarty - he'll set up an elaborate game involving 'ordinary' people potentially being murdered. Destroy your public reputation, play games, generally be a complete psychopath. LUCKY YOU if he likes you.

Joly -hugs and hand-holding and generally as many tactile displays of affection as the other person's comfortable with. Assume everything he has is yours too, in equal degree. Tell you and pretty much anyone ever in his general vicinity that you're the bestest and poor everyone who doesn't know you, oh their sad lives. Highly unlikely to think of spontaneous romantic gestures and heaven help you if you want poetry, but still. If Joly's fond of you, as a friend or in any way at all, you have to be kind of a plank to miss it.

Bahorel- He'll tell you. Pretty much upfront. He'll still make fun of you and laugh at you, but he'll also tell you the things he approves of about you! General physical displays are pretty standard, too.

If he really, really loves and respects you, he will occasionally not fight at your request. Just for you. You weird non-fight-wanting person.

Combeferre: he will go on at length about his many obscure interests without worrying about boring you or making you hate him. He'll be comfortable with tactile contact. He will also share his deep existential and moral capital-I Issues with you. Of which there are also many. He will also make snarky, sharp, snide, intellectual jokes at you, and worry conspicuously about your health and wellbeing, and then go back to philosophizing at you.

Jean Prouvaire: he'll drag you along with him on ill-advised but exciting Romantic excursions, and then use you and the excursions as an inspiration for Art. He will also take your life problems, including your romantic woes, very seriously, and be intensely sympathetic about them. Even if your problems are kind of ridiculous and you don't really deserve all that earnest sympathy.

Clementine: Um. Sex. Yes.

Dixie: Extreme flirting followed by life-saving acts of derring do.

Juliet: Total honesty and devotion. She also bakes. Pray you don't fall in love with Jules.

Eponine: Extreme acts of martyrdom.
