2. what (if any) is a good, safe touch for your character?

pantherdragon
Gen is pretty open to casual touch! but he's warier than he lets on for strangers

pantherdragon
so as long as he sees it coming, back slaps and shoulder squeezes and hugs and handshakes and all of that is fine

pantherdragon
3. what kind of touch is not comfortable or generally unwanted by your character?

pantherdragon
Gen's not a fan of fake-violent 'macho' kind of touch affection

pantherdragon
slugs on the arm, friendly shoving, that kind of thing

pantherdragon
he also doesn't like to be surprised by touch from people he doesn't know

pantherdragon
but he'll lie and say it's all fine


pantherdragon
5. is your character better at receiving touch or giving it? under what circumstances?

pantherdragon
for most people, believe it or not, Gen will receive touch more easily than he gives it out

pantherdragon
he keeps his arms in his sleeves otherwise

pantherdragon
just watches and observes

pantherdragon
Senku, of course, being the exception :3

pantherdragon
6. how comfortable is your character with the ‘professional’ type of touching/gestures? (i.e. handshakes, having a card handy, small talk, etc)

pantherdragon
Noctis is very uncomfortable with any social action that seems like a performance

pantherdragon
good at it by now, sure

pantherdragon
he's been growing up as the future king all his life

pantherdragon
but he hates how fake it is

pantherdragon
and even small talk can feel like a chore to him

pantherdragon
he hates how fake so much of his social interactions can be, so he would opt out if he could
