Anonymous asked: Crispin 14
I’m combining two anonymous asks for this thing that a bunch of people ended up doing against my expectations, because they are both about my poor murder boy. Poor Crispin, he makes so many bad choices.
14: Are they prone to outbursts (of violence, extreme emotion… exc… )?
…shockingly, no. Not even the White Wolf was really prone to losing control of himself. Losing his temper, maybe, but Crispin was raised as a diplomat, with exceptional control over his emotions (this emotional repression may have been a contributor to his eventual snap). He has always been prone to very cold anger–Crispin has always been the type where he can hold onto his temper until the most opportune moment to release it and then flay someone alive with a totally bland expression. Like, is he an incredibly dangerous, violent, impassioned person? Yes, 100%. But those things are always released with the sort of steel-eyed calculating precision to have the maximum impact. Which is somehow more nervewracking when he’s on the ‘right’ side of things.
44: What’s one thing they wish they could do more often, but can’t?
Crispin genuinely really likes children. He’s great with them. He used to hang out at Brenneth’s smithy before everything went to hell and the kids who drifted through (Brenneth didn’t immediately kick them out and told good stories, so she was something of a hit) adored him. The kids used to call the two of them pesaruld Crispin and pelali Brenneth (big brother and big sister). Crispin would love to be able to spend more time with children.
Naturally, absolutely no one trusts him with their children.
