Velvet Is an odd fellow. He's a tall big mothman that's fully convinced himself that any encounter requires a 5 step courtship plan and that any deviation from it cancels the entire thing

He's been leaving gifts for you for weeks now trying desperately to get past stage 1 and hoping your somehow know to write back with a literal written declaration of intent stating that you are interested and reciprocate some feelings

More specifically. He's agentle, earnest and most importantly catastrophically terrible at social interaction mothman like creature that wants to get to know you but between his mental inhibition againts ignoring his 5 steps and how he tries so, so hard to act all suave and mysterious that its almost entirely doomed from the start.

He'll read absolutely terrible poetry to you with the truest sincerity possible
He'll second guess himself constantly
He Secretly cries when alone because he's convinced no one actually wants him, just the "blessing"
He like lamps
He thinks all of these courtship steps are required, but really all thats required is a wholesome mutual love and he's selection bias'd himself into thinking that all the steps are required (When really, only people who actually are into him would bother doing all his steps)
He has a weird
