faerie attractions and affections

[kossai]

faerie attraction can be intense , to say least . in general find that feelings tend to take up huge space in faerie minds - so can easily spiral into obsessions .
kind of hard to articulate some aspects . indeed this intensity is reason for why faeries might steal away subject of affections - and why those who do not , continue to struggle .

how faeries express this attraction and affection can also be ... different . some examples from inside kossai :

• possessive claims , marks , and bites 
• extravagant gifts to further prove claim 
• protective charms and magics - not bad in self , but can definitely overextend use and do more harm than good
• feel need to serve all desires - even impossible ones , and even impulsive whims with no real weight
• feel need to caretake hand and foot
• desire to keep at side , never leave each other - pet , treasure in hoard , whatever comparison work best
• trances to bliss out - see also faerie food , faerie drugs , etc

... obviously very little of this is appropriate to act without some serious discussions . even then , faeries who keep subject of affections in relationship strictly to these bounds can get bored and discard .
faeries need real communications , discussions , and stimulations too ! even if feelings seem to say pretty pet forever , that ... will almost surely not last forever . but not all faeries understand these kind of things , and will assume all interest is gone .

this really is why kossai wary to have any kind of partner that is not nonhuman , even if say would understand . just ... do things different , and would worry about behaviours hurt .
kossai do start to more obviously express these things when " wild " - defilter , unmask , whatever ... ought to figure out better words for that .
anyway . point is need fellow nonhumans who can keep up , as lover legion ( demons ) can . other than that , sometimes express these feelings with characters ... theo from celeste is still somehow best subject for this .
