Such an odd young man. Sweet, competent, clever, but odd. Crozier doesn't mind at all, he's just curious about the single-minded purpose that drives him.
"You don't like 'relentless'?"
A query as he contemplates the idea of being cared for meticulously. (Relentlessly.) He was minded well enough as a child, but never spoiled or attended to with more attention than was necessary. With so many children it was only sensible that the parenting was a split duty between the older ones, and that each were expected to be self-sufficient as soon as possible. He has never lived with a servant, and has only ever availed himself of the basics in any boarding houses. Dropping off laundry, saying thank-you for supper. It brings to mind the kind of care that some men expect of their wives, but even that, he struggles to conceptualize. Attempting to imagine Sophia putting warm socks on him doesn't work at all.
"I mean it only fondly. There is strength to you."
