Ten Facts:

1. Octavius has a strong dislike of cats; however, Holladrin loved them, so he pretends to like them.

2. He doesn't appreciate food very much. He has an exceptionally strong sense of taste and most flavors overwhelm him.

3. He always wanted a little sister--but having had eight children already, his parents weren't too keen on the idea.

4. Octavius makes a point to be civil in most instances; however, he is prone to shockingly mean thoughts.

5. He has a great singing voice, but he doesn't feel comfortable singing in public. He and Holladrin used to indulge in the occasional duet when they were alone, though, particularly when they'd both had something to drink.

6. Following Medea's death, Octavius has developed an unease regarding windows. He tries to avoid looking through them whenever possible.

7. He always did secretly fear that one of the twins might have inherited Medea's illness. He sees Sparron's anxious, paranoid behavior and it troubles him.

8. Octavius has yet to figure out exactly what Holladrin saw in him--not that he's complaining.

9. He and Holladrin both gravitated toward the same side of the bed. He let her have it and insisted that he liked the other side, but they usually woke up with a very uneven distribution of space.

10. He is not planning on arranging marriages for his younger children, nor does he plan on doing so for Sparron or Jeda should something happen either Camaline or Ietrin. To this day, he regrets not putting his foot down when Medea wanted to promise the twins away.


Notable Quotes:

"He has his mother's eyes. I wonder if he will grow to have her beard as well."
--upon being presented with his newborn son, from "In Which Severin Looks into an Alternate Universe" (July 1156)

Holladrin: It's difficult sometimes--moving on.
Octavius: It is, but in the end, I suppose that's what life is, dear Holladrin--moving on.
--from "In Which Octavius Learns What Life Is" (August 1160)

Rudolphus (after informing Octavius of Athalia's death): It's always the good ones, isn't it? Those who deserve nothing but pure happiness meet such early ends, while the most horrible of us all reach a creaking old age.
Octavius: I should hope that you are wrong. I would not wish to linger on while all those I love die before my eyes.
--from "In Which Octavius Finds Nothing Profound" (October 1163)
