Some small and irrelevant headcanons about the jungle cat tribe ( 4 / ?? )
Jack has 0 time for spiders and will nip out of an area so fast if he happens to see one moving. He has been known to shriek if caught by one unexpectedly and rapidly pat himself down as if convinced they’re crawling all over him. He also does a ( to Charles, anyway ) arcane sort of hop and jiggle followed by rapid hand flapping afterward. This escalates exponentially in the event there was actually a spider on him.
This terrible habit has lead to both Anne and Charles making a natural habit of checking an area over automatically and sweeping away any spiders they happen to notice – and to develop a manner of dealing with them once in a room without Jack noticing. Sometimes they have had to just smack a hand over his mouth while another party deals with it. His reaction is completely involuntary but it is dramatic and drastic enough that they’ve learned to compensate for it.
While not nearly as alarmed as Jack, Anne hates the sound of cicadas and will often get drunk to numb herself to the noise. More often than not she falls asleep with her head on Jack or Charles’ chest, using their heartbeat to help drown out the awful droning chorus of demons.
Charles has absolutely no issues with bugs, at least that he knows of. He’s generally the one taking care of bug problems for people who do have these issues, and has a habit of cornering creepy crawlies that are just plain funky looking to examine out of sheer curiosity, at times leading to Anne plucking it up and tossing it into the bushes because he doesn’t need to torture the damn thing.
( Note; he is never actually hurting the bug but it’s not like bugs are really meant to be picked up and turned over and squinted at for extended periods of time either. )
