Generally speaking, how do you think others perceive you?
Fiery. Angry. Violent. On the edge of sanity. A farmboy. And they'd be right, sort of. I won't deny being any of those things, except the last, and only to those I know won't blow my cover. Nothing wrong with having others perceive you as you actually are.
Except...
Maybe I'm other things, too. I know Tilda, and maybe the other girls the others, see more to me than that.
I'm violent, yeah, but I've never hurt anyone who didn't deserve it. Of course, a lot of people have deserved it, and "deserved" is a bit of a grey area anyway, but I'm sticking to my point. I've only hurt those who had it coming to them. And a lot of my violence comes from being protective. If someone wants to hurt Tilda, they have to get through me first.
...Although that's what blew my cover with the others, wasn't it? Oh, well. I'm no good at hiding what I am. What others perceive me as is probably right.
