Clever friend who doesn’t want to detect but gets dragged into it


bookish, patient, watchful, faintly amused. Can be quite witty but mostly a calming observant presence. Doesn’t display affection though words but rather actions— will help a person if he cares, will ditch them if he doesn’t. Acts cute around Emiel, because he’s shy, but tries to be stoic. Will always save Emiel first or have Emiel on the mind. Talks to himself a lot. Writes a diary. Quite secretive because of his social anxiety. Tries to be confident.
Doesn’t speak that much. Warns people. He’s observant, so if he says something it’ll be well thought out. Very intelligent and has short sentences that get the view across. If Emiel is brought up he usually deflects or gets flustered, trying to leave because he doesn’t want to face his feelings. Can be kind in some ways and suggest taking action when others are wary of it. Occasionally says something really sweet and gets defensive about it directly afterwards. Remains quite moody.
Wants to prove Lilac Skye innocent. Wants to get Emiel back, but is afraid
