[hider=ma little comments] [quote=@Briza] Mathematics and Machinery are the two atria of Walter's heart, but he prefers one over the other. He believes Math to be the fundamentals of life and everything in the world. It is the universal language, and yet despite all the equations and algorithms he can conjure in the silence of a breath alone, the greatest equation he cannot solve is the one that ties him so dearly to his brother. [/quote] I love that last line tbh. [quote=@Briza] And yes, there are many of times when Finnegan was not around him, especially during his time at the Polytech Institute and while creating his own manors of interest. Thus, Walter began tinkering with mechanics, creating his own friends through metal and refinery. His expeditions through machinery did not stretch as far as he may have hoped, but a small hobby of kindling intricate instruments of clockwork and steam power have never left his finger tips. His bedroom is the greatest example of this as it is lined with his boyish imagination and endeavors. Walking into his room is like walking into a place lived by someone who has never truly grown up, and his brother is rather protective over this aspect of him. In fact, Finnegan has even requested to take Walter under his wing at his perfumery, and Walter has more than happily accepted the honor. [/quote] He may be one of the few people who has seen Alexander's workshop of sorts in his attic. The others are Rowena and Elric (Alex's butler/chief of staff), and that's pretty much it. But Alexander would show it to him because he trusts him and because he...dare we say it...[i]loves[/i] him. That actually...felt so forbidden to say, wow. [quote=@Briza] [i]“Why are you so beautiful?”[/i] [/quote] D'aww, Alexander's response to that is undoubtedly "how do you always know how to make me blush? You're worse than your brother in this" which basically means Walter is better at complimenting Alexander than Finnegan and the only reason for that is literally because of the difference in the depths of their...affections for one another lol.[/hider] All in all I personally love this little bean. I had more I wanted to say but it's been about 2-3 hours since I first thought of them so rip me [@Briza]
