@literal For a while, I've been wondering where the rumors about Cabel being this monstrous murderer started. Yeah, he's a seasoned warrior that has seen his fair share of battles, but by and large, whenever you see him with just Renee, he just comes across as a grouch with sleeping problems. He can be a bit aggressive, but the times he's seemed "violent," it's usually just Renee making assumptions about him killing her for a slight mistake. At worst, he's often just being standoffish.
I don't trust Elvin. Something about this holy saint persona of his, even though he and Cabel are both war veterans, just puts me off. His letting out this cold and calculating aura with regards to Cabel is even weirder. Maybe it's just him being jealous of how Cabel and Renee are getting close out of nowhere, but I feel like this is the author hinting at something more.
