Well, that's because they do be going everywhere to cause chaos, including you, the ringleader clown.

Time to go on a info dump on og Cale for the sake of my heart

1) he says that terrible thing about Harris Village because his mom died there

2) he never hits anyone except gangsters. He conditions the people around him into flinching because he will throw things "at them" but misses on purpose

3) he isn't drunk when he does the things he does

4) he has a well conditioned body

5) he ruins his reputation to protect his step family from his relatives and the public eye (it's been a while since I read the novel so I don't remember where I read that, but I'm pretty sure it's accurate)

6) he did not hate his step family, and supported Basen. "Listen to me, you are a Henituse." (I don't remember exactly what he said)

7) he treats his father Deruth and Ron respectfully, and just avoids his step family

On a side note:

1) Ron and Beacrox got interested in Choi Han because they could smell Arm's people on him, not because he was strong. They were motivated to use Choi Han, to stay behind a strong person, to and investigate the circumstances of Arm on the Western continent. We don't actually know how Cale himself felt about them deserting him.

2) Beacrox didn't like Cale because he insulted his food and went around in dirty places. If Beacrox disliked Cale for taking up his father's time, I don't know? I'm not entirely sure if Cale disliked Beacrox too, he just refused to eat Beacrox's food in canon.

3) Ron tried to keep a distance with Cale. He never interfered when Cale went out to "play," just like Deruth never corrected Cale's behavior. Cale was aware (I think?) that Ron reported his behavior to the count.

4) Cale survives to the end of the war with the White Star and even fights him. Cale was not weak, though we don't know what he was strong in (swordsmanship seems likely). He becomes the Count. He calls the Henituse family, "our family" to krs!Cale, meaning that at least by the time he possessed KRS, he felt they were his family. This could be stretched, and he had always believed they were his family, or not.

5) Cale is a person that is both similar to Kim Rok Soo and dissimilar. I think something along that lines was suggested when he met krs!Cale as Heniroksoo for the first time.

6) it's suggested in the side stories that he couldn't enjoy the food in his world, and that's why he enjoys the food on Earth 1. This would explain why he refused to eat Beacrox's food, and why Beacrox got so proficient at cooking- to finally be affirmed by Cale that he made good food. Which actually disproves the idea that Beacrox was jealous of Cale. I think that it's confirmed that Cale had a poor appetite in canon, so it would make sense.

He doesn't appear outside in day time, rarely goes to eat, train, wander...or just anywhere in general.

He operates at night, dealing with gangsters, shady buisnesses and all.In this elaborate act-he usually is asleep during the day and eats outide wherever he is at night leading to it seeming he's almost stopped eating.

But hear me out.

Cale gave them to Beacrox to take care of. Maybe not Lock, sure, but tangentially, Beacrox is the one taking up a guardian role for the other children.

And with Ron’s taking care and unspoken raising of Cale, that basically makes Cale their uncle, literally putting him in the same sort of position as their last caretaker who died the same way Beacrox’s family did too.

We never see anything about how Beacrox teaches and raises the wolf kids, but the results are clear. We can see them growing and learning, and loving to help in the kitchen and to help serving, just like him. Beacrox is clearly taking care of them, and even Cale says he’s surprisingly warmhearted and weak to children apparently, and Cale didn’t even know that before! We can see that, not only with the wolf children, but with his reaction to Raon!

You’d think by now nothing Cale does would surprise her.

*lays on the ground dead from adorable overload*

We’re all going to die when he finally says ‘mom’ aren’t we?

I feel like Raon needs a swear jar but I also don’t want him to stop.
