Silver Lining

~~~☽~~~

Felix is a rather funny person. For being mute, he is not at all quiet once you get to know him; he's always tapping away at something, whether it be the countertops or piano keys. He's pretty clumsy too, dropping things or tripping over his own feet. Chan had thought that the omega being a mute and a desirable lone werewolf would make it easy for him to sneak up on people due to years of practice under the given circumstances; boy was he wrong. Felix snaps and claps and slaps and jumps and stomps and dances and practically vibrates in place sometimes; he's quick to initiate skinship whether it be punching or kicking you for being a pain in the ass or sitting so close that his wiggling legs keep knocking your guys' knees together. No, Felix was not stealthy or subtle at all (which made a lot of sense if Chan recalls the time that the silver wolf tried to observe him from the tree lining without being caught).

While Felix lacked verbal communication, he was very expressive with actions and body language and facial expressions. It was surprisingly not all that difficult to guess what the younger was thinking. When he was concentrating, he'd purse his lips and get this slight furrow to his brow or, if it was a really daunting task, his tongue would peek out. When he was frustrated, he'd stomp his feet and throw his hands in the air with a loud groan or huff (and then he would give up on whatever it was that he was doing to go back in Lee's very small kitchen to bake goodies he'd later pass out to the people working at the market stalls. When it was too hot to bake, he'd curl up on the windowsill in his room and open a book; Chan would take that as his cue to leave because Felix was never in the mood to interact with others when he reached that kind of isolated escapism). When he was happy, he'd smile: a warm, bright, and absolutely lovely smile that Chan could only describe as being mentally wrapped up in a comforting hug from a long lost loved one. He had this habit of covering his mouth when he laughed really hard or giggled shyly; Chan wasn't sure why since it was always such an enchanting sight but he never mentioned it.

Felix was easily flustered by sappy stuff (Chan did a once over of his bookshelf and found lots of romance novels) and got relatively bashful when complimented. He was also very sassy for never physically using his words and quite headstrong for somebody who would be typically seen as vulnerable. He makes noises from time to time, whether it be humming a song or startled yips when Chan scares him or a cry of pain because he forgot to put an oven mitt on before pulling a tray out of the oven.

It was clear that Felix's verbal silence is a preference most likely resulting from a trauma induced experience: being able to form words if he truly wanted but choosing not to. Chan thinks it's difficult for him to put how he's feeling in vocalized sentences, hence the reason he mouths only a word or two to get his point across rather than a whole statement.

There is sadness in those blue eyes from time to time, something dark and plaguing from his past that Chan wishes he could just absorb all of Felix's pain until he truly felt better.

Chan found Felix truly endearing and kind-hearted; he went from infatuated at first sight to in love after first rice cake (yes, the omega was considerate enough to share the other treat with Chan, not wanting the alpha to just sit there and stare as he thoroughly enjoys himself eating one of his favorite snacks).

The Skz pack leader tries to visit the village as much as he can, often resulting in about three times a week. The other members are beginning to take notice of his regular absence, questioning suggestively, "Off to town again?" Or, more bluntly put by Minho, "Going to the florist, I see." (Supposedly, he smells like lavender when he comes home which had earned a few curious and inquiring glances from his pack members the first few times; especially since Jisung and Changbin were able to recognize where they had smelled similar scents on a wolf before. If he smells like Felix, then he doesn't really care; he just hopes Felix smells a bit like him too so people will know to stay away).
