abalone: what kind of situations compromise my muse emotionally
any situation that puts his family in danger and any situation that would make it seem like he’s not making a difference or is insignificant in the world; basically, if you make him feel small, he’ll be compromised.
coral: how my muse views the natural world
before he had children, carrillo was relatively indifferent to the natural world. he could appreciate a nice landscape and a beautiful sunset, but it never really made him emotional or had any extreme sort of significance to him. now, with a three year old who takes great enjoyment in nature and animals, he notices it all a little more and has more of an emotional connection to it.
zoisite: does my muse believe everything’s going to work out for them in the end or not?
as of right now, he finds the state of his life to be very much up in the air. his professional life isn’t bad, but his personal is where his worries come out.
zebra stone: what gets my muse excited
any of his academic interests are bound to get him talking, as his academic interests are his true passions. he can talk about economic theory, history, and politics forever, but outside of those interests, one on one time with those he cares about is something he can get excited about.
sapphire: if everyone my muse knew was hanging off a cliff and they could only choose three to save, the rest certainly dying, who they would choose
his daughter, his wife, and his mother.
hematite: how squeamish my muse is
he isn’t too squeamish. he can be grossed out by understandable stuff, but not to an unbearable extent.
