Closet Monsters: Does your muse hide any aspects of their personality/life from others?

He hides many aspects of himself from the general public, as any good King would do, as they would never understand why he does the things that he does; it’s only to protect the integrity of his people, and to promote health, wellness, and kindness amongst the folk he rules over. 

“You ask of me a monumental task that would place me at the mercy of both my Queen and my spawn; and whatever choice I would make would place the sanctity of my Kingdom at great risk.”

“But to choose between breaking my little chickadee’s heart or to let that imbecile of a troll ruin what I have striven so hard to obtain, there is only one clear choice.”

“She may forgive me if she were to discover the horrors I have done, but there would be no mercy if he were to take control.”

The Tower: What event would trigger your muse's breaking point?

Bereil: It’s actually suprisingly easy to hit a breaking point with Bereil; he’s got a massive fear of being abandoned, so a missing quadrant or someone ghosting him for personal reasons may be enough to send him spiraling. He’s trying very hard to overcome that, and his kismesis is surprisingly helpful with this, but it’s still a sore spot for him.

Emziel: Calling him out on his hypocrisy is a good way to get him to tick; he works as a merc, typically for highbloods, but is one to preach about being hemoleniency. Sure, he’s got his own growing list of killing highbloods, but the lowblood list will always be longer.

Thanus: Hurt his hounds or his mate. He’s more protective of the hounds than his mate (for Lianor can very much take care of herself), but if so much as a singly hair is misplaced on a hound’s head and he’ll have the rage of an army turned against the offender.
