Okay so I don’t think I’ve perfected this/am that good at this yet but for me i guess i do a bit of both? But also it depends on what the scenario is. So, for example, if it’s because there is an argument, I think it’d need more dialogues as they’ll need to have a conversation to work it out and like words of affirmation but also add a bit of sweet actions in between. But if it’s because one of them is going through something bad then I’d focus on adding more comforting actions rather than dialogues, but still adding some words of comfort like simple ones. And if you want like a little something extra, maybe decide what your character’s personality is like and then see what specific unique way they like to be comforted. My friend advised me before like say there’s a treat or something they like to eat that makes them happy. Or they cope with humour so they’d make them laugh to comfort them.
I hope these tips help!! And if you post what you write share it with me, I’d love to read it!! 🩷🩷
