For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.

kiss their hand

A character takes the hand of another and kisses it as a mark of respect. Used to portray the character as particularly romantic, chivalrous, foreign, or just a bit old-fashioned.

( modified from here. )

Why stick with the cliché? The subdued? The modern? Go big or go home, we say! There's nothing wrong with reaching out, taking someone's hand — and laying a sweet kiss right on the back of it (or on their palm, their finger, their wrist...)! You just know you'll leave an impression. So, whether in a polite yet platonically old-fashioned greeting, a sworn oath, a hope to sweep them off their feet, a measure of comfort, or anything in between, drop to one knee and kiss the ring.

Ring optional.

[ She's not kissing any hand. She is however going to severely side-eye and judge anyone who tries kissing hers. ]

[Guess who is going to march up, take ahold of her hand and bring it to his cruel, sensual lips?]

Your beauty is cold and apathetic but that is what draws Me, DIO to it. I know there is much under the surface...

[Definitely the one who kisses the fair maiden's hand]

[ Will kiss the hand of any fair maiden. Male presenting people can kiss hers instead. ]

( as with everything, he does this gruffly. and that's the generous interpretation. more realistic: he's sniffing or licking your hand.

profile under construction but tl;dr he's a riff on the dichotomy between the 'bad' wolf and the 'heroic' woodsman/huntsman archetypes in fairy tales. what if they're two sides of the same person? maybe, if there's even a little chance, the wolf wants to be better, to keep himself in check. )

[ Either or. Grudgingly. ]

[Definitely the one getting her hand kissed. Assumed CR, AUs, canon and crosscanon all welcome! Expect a whole lot of potential yelling.]

《 Probably the one doing the kissing, but if you want to take Ren's hand instead who are we to stop you? Feel free to play it off as a gag if shipping's not your thing. 》

Well hello there...

[Dio's never see a vampire as strikingly beautiful as himself before. But then he knows very few besides himself and the handful he made. Right then, best make a good first impression.]

I'm DIO. And you are lovely. Might I have your hand?
