[ChicletPrime]

well, i've listened to some of his cards where he's a tad more.. i don't know if 'forceful' is the right word, but certainly more dialed in and uncompromising. like, you can just *hear* him plant his feet and become unmoving. Chapter 8 / the flower shop section is probably about the most i can think of where Xavier fell more into inscrutable leader mode? and he does like to make random statements out of the blue that make you swivel your head and go 'where the heck did THAT come from'.

i haven't gotten to the Xavier timeline obviously as i'm grimly working my way through World Underneath, but i'm assuming there's some of that in there? feel free to recommend something specific to check out now, i'm game.
