Known Fact: Though he pretends not
to care about it, he has learned a lot about stationery from his parents and
actually likes it a lot.
What can
one say about a person like Bostwick?
If he were a plant, he’d be a cactus. Though he is only seventeen, he
seems more like a particularly cantankerous forty-year old man. Did something
happen to make him that way? Is he misunderstood? Does he have some childhood trauma? Ha, ha, no. Nothing like that. That's just the way he is. Still,
if he meets a genuinely good person, he’ll usually (usually) try to be less
grumpy around them.
He was
born to a family of stationers and raised in the Capital, which is the
cunningly named capital city of the Empire. Once it became apparent that he was magically inclined, he
enrolled in the prestigious Melieh’s Academy of Magic. From there, he went to work for the
royal family of Camellia, and from there... Well, let’s just say he’s done a
lot of traveling since then.

about him in “Her Eyes were Limpet Pools”, a story that takes place
during his (comparatively) halcyon days at the Academy.
Bostwick, Bostwick, Bostwick... or should I call him von Dogsbody?
ReplyDeleteIf you do, he'll be more annoyed than usual.
