This man is AT BEST a first year grad student trying to finish compulsory military service in an active war zone while running the family business (ruling a legit kingdom) and taking on extracurriculars (leading a rebellion) as side hustles. On top of that there’s a literal plague of evil descending, institutional racism is against him, and his Situationship (calling Violet that cuz a lot happens there over two books and I’m trying to cover all the relationship levels) never seems to settle out for more than a month at a time.

1. when he was trolling Vi right from the beginning

2. when he was fucking done with Tynan's shit

"nO, bUt I cAn NaRrAtE" lives rent free in my head

3. when he manages to lighten the mood right before making out with Violet for the first time

4. when he cannot contain his giddiness that he can now bother Violet without having to utter a single word

5. when he decides honesty in the best policy with Mira

6. when he is offended by breakfast
