It’s quite easy to be an asshole, in Cale’s opinion. Maybe he really does have a knack for being trash.

Drink, make a fuss, break something, then leave. Rinse and repeat at every bar in Rain City and now you’re truly a lout.

His reputation is perfectly awful, sure to deter any idiotic vassals from pushing for his successorship.

Of course, that comes with the drawback of very few people wanting to be anywhere in his near vicinity, but that’s even better.

(Cale isn’t lonely. He’s not.)
