(continued to refer to them as Koschei and Theta, for ease)

who is
more likely to hurt the other?

Theta’s
more likely to lash out in a burst of anger, likely blindly; she can lose track
of where and who she is in her rage, and forget those who matter most – meaning
she sometimes hurts them. It’s not something she’s ever done, because Koschei
is the one who most often talks her down from her rage, but it’s more possible.

who is
emotionally stronger?

Both
of them have been through enough that even surviving merits significant
emotional strength – he’s had the drums, and she’s had her own ordeals with the
Time Lords. And when they’re together, their strength compounds, and there’s
nothing in the cosmos that can stand in their way.

who is
physically stronger?

Koschei
– this is almost an idiosyncrasy, what with Theta’s disposition to lash out
when she’s irritated. This fact is usually illustrated when he decides to
tickle her, and she squirms like hell but can’t seem to get out of his grip (at
least not through brute force, on occasion she does pull a sneaky trick).

who is
more likely to break a bone?

Theta
– she’s prone to busting her knuckles when she decides to lash out at a wall
rather than another living being. Not to mention she’s much more reckless than
Koschei is; she’s either completely reckless
or completely, coldly rational; there’s no in between, it just depends what
head she has on.

who knows
best what to say to upset the other?

Both,
but they don’t like to lash out at each other using wars of words. When they
do, it’s mostly insults thrown both ways and reluctant apologies afterwards,
and they make it up in their…own kind of way.

who is
most likely to apologise first after an argument?

Theta.
She’s more able to rationalise what happened once she’s cooled her head, and
she’s less stubborn than Koschei in terms of apologies. He doesn’t apologise,
and she doesn’t like to, but she’ll do it first.

who treats
who’s wounds more often?

Koschei
tends to Theta’s knuckles when she splits them, breaks them, or bruises them,
in a rare show of his tender side.

who is in
constant need of comfort?

Koschei,
although Theta’s prone to liking it too.

who gets
more jealous?

Theta.
Koschei likes to flirt with others to get her fired up, because he likes the displays
that she makes, the firebrand that she is. But sometimes she will flirt with others
just to play him at his own game.

who’s most
likely to walk out on the other?

Koschei.
The best way to retaliate against Theta is to deprive her of company, and then
leave her with her own thoughts. Theta does it when she’s especially bitter, because
she knows how adversely it affects him to not have contact – and only when she
is angry is she willing to suffer for her retaliation, too.

who will
propose?

They’re
already married, but it’s Koschei who proposes they do the Gallifreyan
ceremony, because such an idea never crossed Theta’s mind.

who has
the most difficult parents?

They
both lack parents.

who
initiates hand-holding when they’re out in public?

Theta.

who hogs
the blankets?

Neither.
They curl up together in a little sushi roll of blankets.

who gets
more sad?

Koschei,
probably, only just.

who is
better at cheering the other up?

Theta;
because who can resist smiling when she smiles at you? Not Koschei, that’s for
sure.

who’s the
one that playfully slaps the other all the time after they make silly jokes?

Theta.
Koschei’s the one that makes all the bad puns.

who is
more streetwise?

Theta,
just barely, because she’s done more travelling.

who is
more wise?

Both.

who’s the
shyest?

Neither
of them are shy. AT ALL.

who boasts
about the other more?

Koschei
really, really likes to show off his wife to anyone who will listen about how great she is.

who sits
on who’s lap?

Theta
sits on Koschei’s lap, most of the time, anyway.
