I think that Richard was raised Catholic (it certainly wouldn’t be uncommon) and he would always say his prayers before bed and try his best to be good (he was terrified of going to hell when he was younger). Nowadays he’s more agnostic than anything. Whereas Jim has a flat out disbelief (he always has), for Richard it’s something that he can’t quite let go of. He’s tried going to churches in the past but it’s never really worked out for him. He still says grace and says his prayers though, even if it’s just in his head. He’d like to believe that someone is looking out for him, or “watching over them” as it were, he’s just not sure who, what or how that would be.

Ooh. Interesting. So I thought this over for a while and my first thought was blue. I think when he was growing up Richard liked blue, but now I would say he favours green. Dark greens and pale greens and those greens that are minty and almost yellowy (if you know what I mean). He doesn’t wear green too much, he doesn’t think it suits him, but a lot of the things he has at home are green. His bedcovers and his plates and things. Green makes him think of woods and fields and home. So yeah, I’d say green.
