Colla Ó Caisidei

Trust came slowly to Colla, who unlike his brother Sòlas Ó Caisidei (page 20) has learned to read people better than his father ever did. In retrospect, it seems obvious that the more desperate people are, the less likely it is they can or will honour an agreement. In his life, he never loans anything he wouldn’t be prepared to part with, gives people one chance to make it right when they disappoint him, and only puts distance between himself and others when they’ve made it clear he’s only important when they need something. He’s weighing his feelings for his brother as of late, who seems to forget he exists for long stretches, but then has urgent need for assistance when he becomes upset or anxious. There must be some way to break him out of the shell he’s in.
