I have ZERO clue if you have put this somewhere on your blog before, but what animal would Nak be? Im sure some sort of reptile, but specifically what species?
Howdy Anon! I haven't really disclosed what animal she would be since I always want to make room for people's interpretations and theories about her :) Thank you for the ask! 💞💞
What animal would Nak be? (+ Krueger)
Nak is a Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) or any type of snake/serpentine really. There are a lot of snake motifs in her design, one being her face paint and chest rig. Snakes are a complex symbol, much like Nak, but they usually mean danger.
Positive Symbolism - healing, wisdom, guardianship, immorality, sensuality
Negative Symbolism - death, destruction, evil, disease, poison.
Krueger is a Harpy Vulture (Harpia Harpyja) or a Bearded Vulture (Gypaetus barbatus). My interpretation of his personality is more in line with these birds since they are not scared of humans, like a dog taking scraps of meat. Vultures usually have a bad correlation in the world, so I like to think that because of this assumption, he would have to try his damnedest in spite of his talent.
Positive Symbolism - luck, happiness in the sacrifice of one's life, Eagerness, Prowess
Negative Symbolism - death, the Underworld, fear.

"I'll kill you! I'll fucking kill you!" She shrieks, other unit members prying her off and away from him as she's thrashing about. "Let me go!"
Krueger stood over Nak, his chest heaving with laborious breaths. Blood trickled down from a split in his lip, mixing with the dirt and grime on his face. He was a picture of apathetic victory; battered but unbowed, a smirk playing on his grimy face as he regarded the new specialist trying to claw her way past the unit members holding her back.
His fingers prodded gingerly at the split skin of his knuckles - By now he forgot what they were beating each other for. She had spirit, but she often bites off more than she could chew.
Ignoring the burning feel on his face and possible bruised ribs – because damn that bitch packed surprisingly powerful kicks – Krueger lit up a cigarette and took deep drags, he knew his ass was in trouble as well.
---
In the office, Nikolai paced back and forth like a caged animal. His usually cool demeanor seemed to have frayed at the edges.
"Fighting in broad daylight, Again." his tone stern from behind his oak table scattered with undisclosed documents. "You're supposed to be professionals."
Krueger sat nonchalantly on one of those uncomfortable metal chairs they had around here, watching Nikolai's rant impassively through narrowed brown eyes. The cigarette - A new one, perched between his lips was all but forgotten now as ashes threatened to spill onto the floor.
"Of all people Krueger!" Nikolai finally spat out his name like it left a bitter taste in his mouth. "How many times do I have to remind you."
Nak sat neatly, hands in her lap. The woman looked rather pleased with herself despite her disheveled appearance as she listens to Nikolai berate him.
That was until Nikolai shifted is attention to her.
"And you!" Nikolai's gaze snapped towards Nak, Krueger swore he saw her flinch. "You think that childish outburst makes you look tough?".
Nikolai ran a hand through his greying hair, frustration clear on his face. Nak stayed silent, whether it was to save her ass or because she didn't have the right words to say.
Krueger watched from the corner of his eye as her smirk morphed into an irritatingly defiant sneer. He could almost read the silent challenge in her gaze - one that screamed she'd do it all over again if given the chance.
"I was teaching him a lesson," She said to Nikolai. "Your worker should learn to watch his mouth."
Krueger chuckled at her bold retort. He turned to meet her gaze with an insincere smile plastered on his bruised face, "Oh really?" His tone dripped with sarcasm as he leaned back comfortably in his chair, drumming his fingers against the wood.
"I guess next time I should watch out for midgets in whatever jungle you crawled from." He fired back mockingly, shooting Nikolai a glance before smirking at Nak.
If they were going to throw insults now, he wasn't one to back down. "Oh look who's finally learned some big words," he quipped back swiftly.
"You-" Nak stood from her seat, hand pulling him by the collar. "I'll straighten your damn jaw, ຝະລັ່ງຂີ້ນົກ ."
"Enough!" Nikolai stopped them, silencing the room instantly. His vicious stare switched between Krueger and Nak.
She sat back down, cursing under her breath; something in a language he didn't understand. Asian probably.
"I don't give a damn about your petty squabbles," he growled, his icy gaze finally landing on Krueger again with full force of its fury. "Settle it or I will settle it for you."
The threat hung heavily in the room for what seemed an eternity before Nikolai turned away dismissively towards his desk - usually signifying that he was done with them.
Krueger rose nonchalantly from his chair and headed towards the door without so much as another word - no point further provoking the boss today after all. Nak was almost a foot out the door before Nikolai spoke again.
"Phayvanh, you stay."
What a strange name.
--
"I'm not going," She dismisses. "Nothing wrong with me. you're putting me through something that isn't worth shit."
Krueger listened in stealthily, his curiosity piqued. The stinging pain on his battered face subsided as his interest turned to the squabble he could overhear from Nikolai's office.
"It's not up for debate, Phayvanh," Nikolai snapped back curtly. "Your outburst clearly shows that you need those sessions."
"I can work!" she countered defiantly. "You are fucking making me dead weight!"
"Watch your language," Nikolai's voice turned stern, "You are an investment Phayvanh, and Chimera does not throw away investments lightly. You will go to those sessions."
Krueger chuckled softly against the wall. Oh, this would be fun to watch play out. He could see himself using her rebellious streak for his own amusement in the future.
"Investment? He's not an investment," She didn't need to offer a name for Krueger to know she was talking about him. "I don't need those sessions if you just get rid if him."
Krueger's smirk dropped, replaced by a scowl. The nerve of that little shit. His fists clenched involuntarily before he quickly forced himself to relax.
"He's one of our best."
Krueger felt an odd sense of satisfaction hearing those words from Nikolai.
"Whatever," Nak stood up to leave. "I'll go. Let's see how long it'll take for you to stop wasting your money."
---
It's midnight. Quiet other than her footsteps, something he's gotten used to since she got the job a month ago. Sometimes he could hear rummaging in community kitchen. He never bothered to look until now because, who gives a shit?
She doesn't sleep, she doesn't eat. What the hell is she doing?
Krueger sat silently in the dark, he rolled his eyes at himself for even caring enough to consider it. Nak had been quite the nuisance since she got here but her antics were starting to catch his interest.
Tossing his blanket to the side, he sighed and stood up from his bed, deciding impulsively to investigate whatever it was that she was doing this late at night.
He moved silently through the dimly lit corridors, making his way towards the source of the sound. He was aware that he was stalking her like prey in its natural habitat, but a part of him justified it as needing to know what she could be up to.
His footsteps were heavy against the cold stone floor, he saw light flickering under a door down the hallway - the kitchen.
He saw Nak turn sharply towards the direction of the sound he had made, her dark eyes wide in surprise.
Krueger froze momentarily, cursing himself internally for being so careless. He was usually silent in his movements - the fact that he hadn't been careful enough this time irked him immensely.
"Relax," His voice was low, laced heavily with mockery. "It's just me."
For a moment, they locked eyes and then she went back to whatever it was she'd been doing before he came.
Nak tried her best to ignore Krueger and his staring from the table. Her table, he knew that - it was fun to fuck with her.
He got his answer for what she's been doing, though; just making coffee.
Leaning back in her chair, he watched Phayvanh move around as she made the brew.
"You don't sleep much?" He finally broke the silence, curiosity getting better of him.
She replied curtly. "Don't speak to me."
He chuckled at her vain attempt to control their interaction, "So bossy… Didn't anyone ever tell you it's not polite to give orders?" His voice was rich with sarcasm as he rested his boots on the table, blatantly ignoring any boundaries she may have established over 'her' table.
"Why are you here," Nak carefully stirs her coffee with a spoon. The handle looked like it would snap by how tight she was gripping it.
"Curiosity," Krueger replied casually, watching the way she handled her cup. The concentration on her face was a stark contrast to the fiery defiance he'd seen earlier. "It's late and you're always up… thought I might join."
He hesitated momentarily before adding in a softer tone, "And maybe to piss you off, just a tad bit." A smirk played at the corner of his lips as he looked over at her.
"Go fuck yourself," She was going nowhere near that table when he just planted his ass in her seat. "ຝະລັ່ງ."
Krueger's smirk widened at her sharp reply. He was familiar with many languages, though he had to admit the dialect she spoke got lost on him.
"I'm afraid I didn't quite catch that," He drawled out lazily as his eyes glinted in amusement. "Want to run that by me again?"
Nak leaned down to his eye level like she was about to say something. Instead she opted to pouring her coffee on his lap.
---
For a split second, he froze in surprise before jumping up swiftly, uttering a guttural curse.
"You little bitch!" Krueger reached for her arm, roughly pulling her towards him to look into her defiant eyes.
"What the fuck was that for?" He spat out through gritted teeth, trying to ignore the burning sensation on his legs.
"I told you to go fuck yourself didn't I?" She mocked, waving her mug in hand. "You should listen to-"
"Do you two you what time it is?"
Nikolai. Great.
---
Krueger's attention snapped immediately to Nikolai who now stood at the entrance of the kitchen, his eyes flickering between Krueger and Phayvanh as he tried to assess the situation.
"She fucking poured coffee on me!" His grip tightened around her arm.
"He pissed himself." She just stated simply, hiding the mug behind her back. "Must've startled him or something."
Krueger blinked, appalled by her audacity.
"You fucking liar-" He began, but was quickly cut off by Nikolai.
"Enough," The older man barked out sharply, turning his icy glare towards Krueger first before it settled on Phayvanh.
"Why are both of you up this late? And why the hell is there coffee all over my floor?" His intense gaze bore into Phayvanh in particular, as if already suspecting her role in the entire mess.
"Piss." She corrected.
"Fuck you," Krueger growled at her under his breath. His calloused hand still clamped tight around her arm.
"Enough!" Nikolai repeated, exasperated. He sighed heavily and covered his face with a tired hand, "Clean this up and I don't want to see either one of you till sunrise."
With that he turned on his heel and left them alone once again in the dimly lit kitchen.
---
Nikolai out of sight, Nak took out the empty coffee mug she hid behind her back.
The sudden bonk on his head caught him off guard. He quickly let go of her arm, and rubbed the back of his head where she'd hit him, meeting her gaze with an irritated scowl. Wasn't enough to seriously hurt him like her punches, but still hurt nonetheless.
"You got some serious fucking issues, you know that?" He snarled at her.
Nak gave him a sidelong glance.
"I could've rendered you a vegetable with that. Consider it my apology," She snagged a rag from the counter. "Only because I feel bad for Nikolai."
Krueger watched her with a guarded expression as he grabbed another rag for himself.
"Wooow, " He couldn't help but quip back sarcastically. Despite everything, he had to admit there was something strangely interesting about Phayvanh's unpredictable disposition. "Such generosity from you is truly overwhelming."
"Hm, You're funny." She notes off handedly, cleaning the floor.
His sarcastic snort echoed in the small shared kitchen, "Yeah, and you're a fucking delight."

Creator Note: OUGHH this one took a while. I definitely struggled, I included different variations as well
DIRTYWORK OPERATOR BUNDLE ART
I don't think you can see it that well but Krueger's scrim net is in a similar pattern to Nak's face paint
Hi I came as fast as I could
🫶: Who ended up falling first? Which of them actually realized that they’d fallen in love first?
💧: How well do they comfort each other when they’re upset?
:3
Howdy Anon! Thank you for the ask! This one definitely made me think alot!
The Ask Game
🫶: Who ended up falling first? Which of them actually realized that they'd fallen in love first?
Drum roll please 🥁🥁🥁... Krueger (it was pretty obvious). He spent like a good two months pining for her. He welcomed the feeling of liking her romantically but didn't act on it. He just liked being around her, so he didn't see a reason to change his behavior for her in order to make her like him. It just came naturally.
In terms of love, Nak. She definitely fell in love with him first. Phayvanh knows she's difficult, jealous, stubborn and how her temper gets in the way of properly communicating correctly. But he's just been there despite all of that and pushes her to be better, holds her accountable. And having someone like that, their unrelenting support that she never got, of course she's going to fall in love first.
💧How well do they comfort each other when they're upset?
Krueger has an...Unconventional approach to comforting Nak. Audacity. He doesn't want to force Phayvanh to talk about her problems unless she initiates the discussion.
"Are you crying?"
Voice visibly breaking,"No."
"Ok."
"Wh.. are you not going to ask me what's wrong?"
"Not really. I didn't think through it that far."
Chuckling and sniffling,"Are..are you stupid?"
"A little bit."
"Ask me."
"Okay :)"
If she doesn't want to talk, a hug or just being near her would do. Sometimes that's all it takes.
Nak is learning to be more considerate if other people's deeper feelings. Tears, especially sad tears, make her very uncomfortable, she won't know what to do. She was ridiculously bad at comforting people. Her desperate attempts at consoling Krueger is enough to make him feel better.
So for Funsies here's a list of things Nak did/said trying to comfort Krueger (Chronological order).
- "Ew- augh, God! Why-"
-"Yikes." Then she went to lock herself in the laundry room.
-Just. Stared at him until he stopped being upset.
- Microwaved him leftovers and put on a movie
- "If it makes you feel better I don't have parents either."
-Held his hand for like two hours, they said nothing in that time
-"Do you uh.. want to sleep? I set the thermostat to 22°C so it's warm."
-"you dont have to, I already folded your laundry for you."
-Hugged him, no words exchanged
-"I don't like it when you cry. But I know you need to."
-"No it's ok, you're not bothering me."
Anddd that's it :3 Thank you for asking!
Never One-Sided
“I don’t want you to die, though.”
“I don’t want you to either. It’d be lonely.”
“Then let’s do our best from now on.. To make sure we’re both alive.” “I’d like that.”
🦋: How long did it take them to get out of the awkward early relationship stage? Have they gotten more confident around each other?
💔: Do they have any previous relationship experience from past partners? How does it reflect on how they handle their current one?
🕊️: Give just a general domestic tidbit for em (things they like about each other, routines, habits, and just overall sweet stuff)
For Krueger and Nak!
Great to see you again One horned beast!!The Ask Game
🦋How long did it take to get out of the awkward early relationship stage? Have they gotten more confident around each other?
Honestly? A week. It would've been shorter if they went official off the bat.
Nak didn't know how to respond to romantic affection. Her confusion with where they stood on their relationship (at the time unlabeled) was also a factor. Krueger is more laid back, he just did whatever felt right, and wanted to prioritize just having her comfortable with him in that way. (Idk if that makes sense)
They're more comfortable around each other now than they are when they started going out.
💔 Do they have any previous relationship experience from past partners? How does it reflect on how they handle their current one?
Nak? None. Krueger's her only relationship experience LMAO what a loser /j . She didn't really have crushes or interest in anyone but herself back in Laos. The couples she saw around during her time in the LPAF gave her insight in how a good and bad relationship is supposed to be (basically living vicariously lol). So when she started being in a relationship with Krueger, she mimicked what she saw in the past before she found her own pace.
Krueger has had a few relationships in the past, but mostly preferred to stay single for longer periods of time. He didn't like how people would change the moment there was romantic feelings involved, and expectations of just having to be "the stoic mysterious lover thats closed off" irked him. With Phayvanh he didn't want that; he wants to be able to be silly around her in the way they usually are, she's one of his best friends. Luckily it came easy with her, their pace was similar in practice :3
🕊️ Give just a general domestic tidbit for em (things they like about each other, routines, habits, and just overall sweet stuff)
I already Answered this in the last ask but I'm gonna do it again in more detail >:D !! I Love these!!
If Nak has a broken arm, Krueger ties her hair up for her, sometimes he switches up the ponytail to have it be braids or a half up half down type of thing. (It takes everything in him to not give her the most atrocious hairstyle)
The way they drink tea is so vastly different. Nak drinks hers with nothing while Krueger puts too much sugar in his
Just Admiring each other's tattoos idk they're dumb. Nak is fond of the one on his stomach, but makes fun of the one on his back (the wolf one). Krueger just idly traces the designs of Nak's tattoos on her back with his fingers.
Just??? One randomly smacks the others ass HARD and runs off so the other chases after them?? Weirdos. (Nak is guilty of this)
This interaction:
"Phayvanh it's 8 in the morning."
"What about it."
"Put on a shirt."
"Put on some pants."
"You're flashing me."
"You're flashing me!"
Then they watched TV.
Thank you for reading :D it's been a while since I've done stuff explaining their dynamics so hopefully it's ok ;u;
PRIVACY CURTAIN
“Again?”
“Are you bothered by it?”
“No, I just think you’re ridiculous.”
“We both look ridiculous.”
"I don't see a reason why you do this."
"I have reasons."
"I bet they're dumb ones."
"Not dumb."
"Is that so?"
"I missed you; a good reason."
"I missed you too."
Creator Note: They have not seen each other in 6 hours. Seriously, get a room, you two.
Look at them!! They look like a family :(( . Cutest piece you’ve done vasya.
Humanitarian Aid
"Is he heavy?"
"Like a couple of grapes."
"Want to keep him?"
"Don't joke."
"Not joking."
"I thought you hated kids."
"Only when they cry and scream and.."
"Just generally exist."
"Yea."
"Why ask, then?"
"I like seeing you hold'em."
Creator Note: This is just an excuse to draw Nak with a baby. Baby is not theirs, I would be sad to have a portion of Krueger's Genes/J
