alright folks let me hear your best hcs….. we know panto is an incredible swordfighter and a good dancer and a charming fairytale prince and all that jazz. but he’s not gonna be good at everything is he. nobody’s good at everything. what do you think panto is really bad at???

We know he’s somewhat decent at navigation (seeing as he independently found his way back to the Cardenas house in a strange environment), so that’s out. We also know he can dance and fight like a champ, and is eloquent enough given his speech.

What about he is hilariously, unbelievably bad at strategy? He can strategise how to take down a bunch of people nbd but a six-year-old can kick his ass at chess, let alone Silas, since I hc him as a more bureaucratic/intellectual type with his temperament. I mean this asshole can’t lie for shit and rushes off to try to fulfil the prophecy without so much as a “Dad, Litzibitz, I’m gonna go scouting/spying/on an epic hunting trip for a bit, won’t be writing and won’t be back for some time, don’t attack the Dengdamors while I’m gone!”

Just really, colossally bad at strategy.
