( back in high school, his method was to find the richest, stupidest kid and attach himself to them as a good sidekick. because who the fuck doesn't need a metalsmith when attending a magical school full of stupid rowdy boys who are always two steps away from murdering each other? year one was full of sucking up to some idiot and his idiot family. when pierce came into the picture, it was less about sucking up to goddamn anyone and more about just shoving him around.
but this city doesn't have a system he can work quite like that. it's follow the rules, not bend the rules to their own whims. be a suck up definitely falls somewhere in there, but one can't use that to just skirt around the edges of duplicity. so. well. )
I won't cause problems. Not loudly. And I know how to shut my mouth and act like a good boy when a situation calls for it.
