@Slime Got it, don't go up and poke 'im, use a really long stick.

Don't do that, Amartia tends to squish bugs....and lizards...and mortal creatures.

A lot of what you wrote seems a bit unfamiliar to me though. Were you in the oldguild divinus and is mentioning lost content or is it new stuff in the old world?

As an apology for a post where the description and pacing were awful, I'll work on the required sheets today.

Here is the first, elaborating hain body language a bit more. This will be in the hain body language hider on Toun's character thread.

Affection and Hands [+]

Physical intimacy between hain are similar to humans in many ways. Holding hands, hugs, holding arms around shoulders, etc. all signify a closeness, whether familial, deep friendship, or romance in varying degrees. Though the hands alter the execution.

Hain beaks are too impractical for kissing like humans do. Instead of this, hain mutually bring a hand each to the mouth of the other. This comes from the hain instinct to hand-feed their children. Holding the fingers shallowly in the mouth is most common, and biting harder or thrashing occurs with high passion.

The significance of hand-feeding extends to deliberately laying hands on the body of another hain. If done for no other reason, it is a slightly greater sign of affection than usual. Laying a hand on a personal area, such as the face, holds the significance of a kiss on the cheek.

As with any body language, context also plays a role. Laying hands on another as part of labour, fighting, emergencies, or other situations generally does not carry affection, though the regular room for misinterpretation is ever-present.

A simpler exception to human shows of affection is bringing their heads close together. Again, hain beaks make touching foreheads together uncomfortable. The equivalent in hain body language is to rest the sides of the head together with the beak over the shoulder of the partner. Just like with humans it tends to be reserved for deep affection. From this position, hain have the closest view of their partner's eyes.

This is about the limit I will probably provide as canon for anyone trying to write hain fanfics for some goodness-forsaken reason.

@Rtron Completely understandable, I just find that one iconic of the fast paced bloody mess that was Divinus OG (old guild or maybe original).

If It came off as less of a joke and more of an offense I am sorry. To be honest, back at 2013 I was too writing stuff that was kinda cringy, except I was 19.
