so i've been thinking about bolaire and this post by @honourablejester which mentions that thalia was a muse of comedy, and it occurred to me that bolaire's greatest affectation is his laugh. when thjazi dies, he laughs. when he is surprised, he laughs. when he finds himself in a bad situation, he laughs. the first thing we learn about him is that he laughs at inappropriate moments.
how much do you guys want to bet that bolaire is, at his core, a comedy mask?
