I have trained myself to master the morning, although I am more naturally inclined towards night.

I will ask a servant to remove it with care.

Do you give people second chances?
Where I feel that I safely can, yes.
Are you a cat person or a dog person?
I have a dog, although it is more for propriety than any personal passion. Most canines dislike goblinoids, but the menageries have been able to breed some that seemingly do not dislike us more than they do anyone else.
Do you think you’re attractive?
I was sadly not gifted with beauty by any race’s standards.
What’s your worst habit?
Punctiliousness seems to be the quality that gains me the most criticism.

Can you tell when someone is flirting with you?
I do not believe I have been given cause to know.

Do you believe in destiny?
I do not. The world is seldom so convenient.

I am passable.
What do you think happens after you die?
Peace in the beyond, if we are fortunate.

My mother performed the same role as I do for some time before I did, and has passed a great deal of expertise on to me.

I am too old for more.
Are you a planner or more spontaneous?

I can. My station demands that also.

I would like to enjoy one more evening with my extended family.

Not particularly, but needs must.

It is often a welcome change of pace to be alone with my thoughts.

Do you admit to mistakes when you make them?
I would not do so in public.
Do you want to grow up to be like your parents?
In many ways, yes.
How do you deal with being sick? Are you stoic or super whiney?
It is rarely wise to show too much of weakness in my position.
What did your parents expect from you when you were born?
Nobility inherits its own expectations.
Do you have a strong sense of style?
I have become accustomed to the act of balancing the traditional and contemporary in ways that will not arouse too much comment.
Would you rather camp outdoors or stay the night in an inn?
The realities of outdoor camping are unknown to me, although I enjoyed my grandfather’s stories in my youth.
Is there a food that most people like but you absolutely hate?
I do not care for citrus fruits, for the most part.

Although I have always intended to become a Viziera, in my youth I did dabble in also becoming a cleric.
