By the end of the conversation, he finds himself feeling genuinely happy and relaxed, two things he’s rarely felt around others before. But despite his nervousness and embarrassment, his darling’s patience and understanding towards him do wonders to ease his nerves. His stutter becomes far worse than normal as he attempts to hold a simple conversation with them, and he wants nothing more than to disappear in that moment. ◇ The interaction itself starts out horribly awkward, with Grim being almost unable to form a coherent sentence. He waits until they’re not busy or around others before doing so, as not to disturb them or have others encourage them to leave once they see him. Once his impatience reaches a boiling point, he will finally set aside his fear and decide to approach them.

Seeing just how kind they are towards others makes his heart soar, and he desperately wishes that he, too, could enjoy their company. While he does find enjoyment in observing them going about their day, he can’t help but yearn for something more. ♧ But after a while, Grim will start to tire of this routine. This is partially due to him wanting to learn what they’re like as a person, and partially because he’s too nervous to strike up a conversation.

After their first meeting, rather than trying to befriend them, he instead opts to simply watch them from a distance. Despite this, however, he doesn’t approach them right away. Those who’re not scared of Grim are few and far between, so for him to find someone who doesn’t treat him any differently than they do others is a breath of fresh air. ♡ With this in mind, his initial interest in his darling would likely spark after realising they’re not afraid of him. Add to the fact that he has a stutter he finds to be deeply embarrassing, and you’ve got yourself a lonely dragon desperate for companionship. He’s very shy and awkward around others, which is due in part to his mostly isolated upbringing. In reality, though, Grim is the complete opposite of the “malevolent beast” everyone thinks him to be. Even as a wee young hatchling, the other residents would avoid him as much as possible for fear of facing his wrath. ♤ Due to his intimidating appearance, Grim has always been something of an outcast on Inkwell.
