Clingy mf, follows you around like a lost puppy and clings to you like a koala when he can. This does have to do with insecurity, not being chosen as Listener was a huge blow to what ever confidence he had last. He thinks he’s nothing without you, and he’ll go through with anything you request, unless if it has to do with harming the Nightmother. To be in a healthy(?) relationship with Cicero is to help him build his confidence back up even in the slightest, and to be observant so you don’t accidentally do something he doesn’t want to do, because he’ll never admit to being uncomfortable. It’ll require a lot of patience and understanding, so be ready.
When you do take Cicero out on one of your expeditions he’s genuinely so curious about his surroundings, being that Cicero never could stray too far from the Nightmother, he never really got to pause and admire his surroundings. Especially since Skyrim is still new to him, but he’s ecstatic if you include him in one of your ‘Dark Brotherhood Jobs’, even if he can’t take your kill he’s merry to watch the blood gush out of one of your unexpecting victims.
Gets super mad when jealous. He’ll scream threats and wave his dagger around at whoever he thinks is trying to seduce you like a mad man. It looks immature and childish, so sometimes people will edge Cicero on only to be found gutted like a fish in their own house the next day. He’ll try his best to retrain himself if you ask him not to kill that person or if the person is a Dark Brotherhood member, but sometimes he can’t control his rage. But he feels ashamed if it was a person you told him not to kill and will fess up immediately.
Good luck trying to get this jester to sleep, it’s not that he won’t lay down, it’s that he won’t shut his eyes and mouth. Cicero has a habit of talking or singing to himself, and it can be annoying when you’re trying to sleep. But a good way to get him to doze off is to cuddle him and/or rub his back. Your touch smoothes him like no other, so much so that he can’t stop his eyes from closing and before he knows it he’s fallen into dream land.
Speaking of Cicero not shutting his mouth, this guy never stops talking, whether it be to you, the Nightmother, or to himself, so I hope you have a tolerance to sound. Not to mention the annoying voices he’ll do or the fact he’ll start dancing and clapping out of no where. Cicero is overall a very loud partner so it’s easy to get angry at him, but he doesn’t do it to annoy you, it’s just his stimming, Cicero swears.
