tell me about the atmosphere
tell me about the faces that greeted you there
Despite Tolliver's deceptively sweet face, the man is a force to be reckoned with. Tolli has been involved in spykeeping since he was a child, and he has never outgrown his fascination for it. He has honed his abilities to lie to precision that is startling, and he can as easily shed one disguise for another as someone else might swap coats. He has a wide-eyed innocence to his naturally cherubic face that gets him into places his clever tongue otherwise couldn't, and he's never shy about using either. There is also something to be said for his perpetual exhaustion; it softens the harsher lines of his face, draws from him endearing yawns, gentles the edge of violence Tolliver always carries. If you have not seen Tolli in action before it is difficult to imagine him as someone intimidating, especially if you first encounter him when he is already half asleep. He's generally in a good mood, though has a stubbornness to him that will rouse him to arguments just for the sake of a good row. He is usually quiet, selective with his friends and company, and cautious in everything he does. Ramille is his adopted son and he's very proud of the boy; he can be goaded into near endless praise by a simple question of his son's well-being.
As he runs the majority of the goings-on in Rossore's capital, Tolliver has become something of a staple at the castle. He has been the spymaster for over 10 years, though it only recently (2 years ago) became public knowledge to the rest of the castle's staff. Everyone is at least passably familiar with him, and most have learned when his temper is a front and when it is genuine. While he is often annoyed he is rarely truly angry, and only reluctantly yells. He is naturally cynical; whether this is due to his long career as the spymaster or due to natural affliction is unknown. He always takes everything with a grain of salt and encourages those around him to be more suspicious. He is definitely that person that looks a gift horse in the mouth, simply because he doesn't believe in a gift that is given without strings. Tolliver doesn't manage to maintain many friends, largely due to his flexible and unending hours and his sheer exhaustion. He expected to meet Ganymede and hate him on sight for his rumor weakness but the man is nothing like the other royals Tolliver has met, and he found himself a surprising new friend. Tolliver is gentle only around Ganymede and Orpheus; he genuinely likes Calliope but no one would ever be able to tell from the shouting matches those two are famous for.
