Ten Facts:

1. Since his elders left, Tavrin's diet has consisted mainly of fresh water fish. Sometimes they're cooked, but not always.

2. He has what might be called a friendly sort of rivalry with his cousin Vyro. They occasionally fight--violently--but are pretty much obliged to patch things up due to the fact that they are sleeping with each other's sisters.

3. Of Deian's four grandchildren, Tavrin was the one who got scolded the most--and yet, he was likely the one for which Deian felt the most fondness.

4. There is no association in Tavrin's mind between nudity and sex; as such, he does not understand why some of the Dovians who don't know him well feel uncomfortable with the fact that he doesn't wear clothes.

5. His grasp of the Dovian language is actually quite masterful; he keeps up the sloppy dialect just for kicks.

6. Tavrin doesn't like fighting and has no intention of getting involved in a confrontation with a Dovian any time soon. That being said, he could definitely take whatever they could throw his way, whoever they happen to be.

7. Atala used to beat him up when they were kids. Deian always told him that he could put her in her place when they were older, but Tavrin is disinclined to do this.

8. Like many people raised by a single father from a young age, Tavrin is curious about what happened to his mother. His father would usually hit him if he asked, however.

9. He has four fangs near the back of his mouth, as do all of his cousins. He is entirely carnivorous, to the point where he finds vegetables nauseating.

10. Tavrin can talk to animals. At this point, the only Dovian who knows this is Raia.


Notable Quotes:

Tavrin: I no talks to Dovans. Papa don't like Dovans any--Papa say 'Dovans only good in soup'!
Thetis: *stares*
Tavrin: No, Dovans no food to me. Too salty, Dovans is--very salty. Spanards, them much better; tastes rooserly.
--from "In Which Thetis Gives Light to Diamonds" (January 1157)

Tavrin: Squirms gone, yes?
Florian: Uh... squirms?
Tavrin: Squirms. Dirt-eaters. Long, pink slimies. Tastes good in pies.
--from "In Which Florian Receives a House Call" (January 1158)

Florian: Yes, I'm better. Thank you for asking. Now, go home.
Tavrin: Maybe that for betterest. I go home fast, yes? If Papa know I come here, maybe he eat my other kidney.
Florian: *eyes bulge*
Tavrin: Joke! Gull'ble, salty Dovans!
--from "In Which Florian Receives a House Call" (January 1158)

"What is 'knife', Dovan-man? Is it foods? Is it naminimal? Ooooh, is it pretty, 'luptuous lady?"
--to Norwan, from "In Which Norwan Sees the Ugliest Color" (December 1158)

Tavrin: Funny dog you has, yes?
Raia: That's not a dog, stupid--it's a pig.
Tavrin: Silly Dovan girl! Dog is four-legged, fuzzy amnimal, yes? This is four-legged, fuzzy amnimal--pig is Dovan food, not amnimal.
Raia: Animal, and pigs are animals, you dunderhead. But the butcher wants to turn this one into food, so I took it here to hide.
Tavrin: A new word--butcher. Butcher is turning of dog to pig. Thank you, Dovan girl!"
--from "In Which Raia Meets an Idiot" (May 1161)

Tavrin: Raia-girl... oh! Raia-girl! You is Princess Dovan!
Raia: You're an idiot! I'm not a princess. Leara and Camaline and my baby cousin are princesses, but I'm not.
Tavrin: But princess is king's girl-child, yes?
Raia: It's good to see you know something.
Tavrin: And Raia-girl is girl-child of King Dovan! So, Raia girl is Princess Dovan!
Raia: Nuh-uh! My father is a lord!
Tavrin: He tall, bearded Dovan wearing black and blue, yes?
Raia: Yes...
Tavrin: Ah-hah! See? He is Dovan king in practice--the silly crown-wearing Dovan is Dovan king in name.
--from "In Which Raia Meets an Idiot" (May 1161)
