Prized possession: It's incredibly stupid, and he'll never admit it to anyone, but there's a spider statue in his room that he wouldn't give up for the world. It's just smaller than his head, made of bronze, and ornately crafted to the point where it might be mistaken for real if he painted it black. He doesn't even like spiders, but it's expensive, and it was a gift to him from one of his closest friends.
"Like you," she'd said, her smile teasing yet kind. "Terrifying but harmless." His quick temper and occasional urges for violence have given him insecurities about being a bad person, so he views the statue almost as affirmation that at least someone thinks he's good.
(She was joking. She actually gave it to him because of his spindly, spiderlike limbs. He's just really bad at noticing sarcasm, and nobody wanted to point it out to him after he got all emotional about the statue.)
I'm socially awkward and sometimes terse - don't mind me.
