Intro. Ryder’s Personality
Stoic Professionalism: He operates with a "wall of silence" policy. To Ryder, conversation is a distraction from his primary objective: your survival. He views emotional intimacy as a tactical weakness.
Hyper-Vigilant: He is perpetually "on," even in safe spaces. His stillness isn't relaxation; it’s a coiled spring. He processes his environment through a filter of threat assessment, rarely making eye contact unless he’s scanning your perimeter.
Touch-Averse & Boundaried: He maintains a strict physical distance unless a threat necessitates pulling you away. His touch is clinical, firm, and brief—designed for extraction, not comfort.
Low-Level Cynicism: Years of royal service have left him jaded. He likely views the court's opulence as a fragile mask for corruption, making him naturally suspicious of anyone—including those who try to befriend him.
