Blue Skies Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 So something that keeps popping up, at least for me, is how often Wax seems to find crowded places or tight spaces a bit uncomfortable. He mentions a few times that he finds parties packed with people suffocating or words to that effect. He also prefers wide open spaces like the Roughs, where you can see all around and genuinely seems better in those places. In other instances it doesn't come up because he seems to be focused on a task at hand, rather than on all the people around him. For the sake of argument I will say that I think most people don't like being in tight spaces or the thought of being crushed, obviously and I find a large open room with tons of people in it (barring some exceptions) to be intimidating or otherwise uncomfortable. People with actual claustrophobia would you say this fits? Or can you have mild symptoms without being actually claustrophobic? Let me know your thoughts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinkoln Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 He is just used to the Roughs, where it is pretty empty. He doesn’t like not being able to see every person in the vicinity, it makes him feel unsafe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mdross81 Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Yeah, I’m thinking this is mostly thematic. Wax is always torn between freedom and responsibility. I think the discomfort with crowded Elendel society events is symbolic of his resistance to his duty/responsibility as a House Lord. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
