comfort food: there was a bakery in dema run by a fpe that made amazing baked goods. if they knew you were also an fpe or had made your way out into trench at some point, you could get some things made with scavenged ingredients from trench. they'd do a monthly escape to just gather things in trench. i think neonkeeper also would collect flowers and spices for teas from trench as well, the tea was alast very comforting to me. but beside that, weirdly enough, drinking water from the stream in trench was also a comfort thing for me. it was cold, crisp, almost sweet.
cannon trinkets: teagans yellow bandana. i have no idea where he even got it from, but we would pass it back and forth whenever one of us needed a little extra hope. even after what happened to him, it became a promise of sorts, a reminder to keep escaping and keep moving forward. it was always around my wrist. after the battle, i think torchbearer and i both kept small pieces of the ned antlers. his was tied to his torch i think, but i kept mine tied as a trinket hanging from my belt.
cannon habits: in dema i had a habit of walking to the necropolis and just walking amongst the gravestones. sometimes i'd even leave a flower on the graves of those i knew. neonkeeper never had a problem with it, she was very understanding about it. out in trench i had a habit of messing with the bandana around my wrist or picking at the tape on my jacket. i also had a habit of staying up late just to see the stars, something no one could see within dema.
