          “Glad to know you feel that way—            about the rude.”

                  he was awfully strange; maybe she wasn’t                   used to his way of speaking, but he certainly                   struck her as different. deidre didn’t necessarily                   want to know if that was good or bad.

          “So? What would you do with the rude?”

                          ❛ The fragrance of complementary                              thoughts I take it. ❛

                                Virtues were thoughtful with him, although                                 questionable at times due to his mannerisms.                                 One, however, that was consistent throughout,                                 was his hate for the idiotic and the rude.                                 Something rarely shared. 

                          ❛ -- What I would do...? ❛

                                There was an airy laughter                                 from which his throat                                 allowed escape, 

                          ❛ What makes you think I'd wish to poison                              my gloves much less flesh with personally                              handling the rude? No, perhaps I simply                              gave that air. Nevertheless, believe me                              well, if any subordinates of mine cannot                              handle the rude then they themselves are                              less than them.

                                                 That's how I, Valbjörn, see it                                                  at least. Though if I had to                                                  personally handle the rude...                                                  Do you think they'd serve as                                                  fine fertilizer? ❛

        “I hope you’re joking! It’s not exciting at all.          Really, if you count those couple customers           that are awfully rude as exciting—- There           really isn’t much fun in working with flowers…          But new shipments are always nice for the time          being, of course.”

                      she didn’t mind being asked questions about                       her work life— no one was ever really interested                       once she mentioned ‘flowers’ being her line of                       work.

                          ❛ Noble, as previously stated,                             then. Quite the artistic                             virtue within it, no? ❛

                                Valbjörn gave a wistful sweep of his dextal arm, as if  to                                 express forms of appreciation despite a showcase of her                                 work not being present. Though, if one were to judge                                 based upon appearances alone she'd seem to lack the                                 qualities of any stereotypical florist.

                          ❛ The rude, shouldn't be allowed                              air; it's so wasteful for a resource                              to be spent of them. ❛

                                In the most intrusive and sudden change from                                 an understanding tone to that of an inquisitor ,                                 he seemed intrigued.

                  “Once — twice, perhaps.”

                  “—‘after all, am I not just a violent being?’ is what I believe                     you meant to ask, Valbjörn. You’ll find that in contrast                     to yourself, that the majority of our brothers and sisters,                     myself included— we are much more than these ‘violent                     beings’ you claim yourself and me to be.

                                Is it not concerning to be that simple? You would                                   hope that there was more to you than just glorified                                   violence, nature’s raw simplicity incarnate.”

                          ❛ our brothers and sisters-- unless you've forgotten --                             follow orders of those above them. That, in fact,                             being us.

                            Mind you, Erik, I have an appearance to upkeep.                             Being a part of nature and serving her most basic                             instinct is all they need to seek.

Headcanon ;; Disposition.

Valbjörn holds himself at a rather intermediate level; not finding himself any more useful than the average captain within the Jagdarmee despite his title. However this said, he enjoys introducing himself and speaking of himself in a holier than thou manner for the sheer reason that he can do it. As well as the artistic fact that it rather contrasts his personality of calmness and little empathy.
