How well do you think Tolys is willing to trust others?
Like a sizable amount of his arcs are him getting into situations and having to find his way out of it. (Grunwald, Commonwealth vs Sweden, Gilbert, outsourcing, etc.)
I feel like where Tolys fails mainly in terms of trust is that he has a hard time with allowing people to pull their weight rather than him taking full control over something. Like think of someone saying to him I'll do this part you do this part I think he would be the type to do both parts because that's the only way he can ensure an outcome in his mind.
Hmm now trust at a personal level is tricky to figure out but I generally assume him to be very private and sometimes secretive about what's really going on, what went down for real, and what he's leaving out of the words of reassurance.
That being said I do see him as generally trusting and he believes people to be well-intentioned.
I think in his heart, he's trusting, but his anxiety and the fact he gets stuck in his head too much gets in the way of him being trusting in others when he needs it most
Thank you for the ask this was fun to think about
