SPEED ROUND SPEED ROUND watch me not make this speedy at all

sweet or spicy: between the two, spicy! between the two and other flavors, other flavors entirely :,D savory, meaty, and creamy foods are peak on the flavor profiles he enjoys the most (the famously mentioned Lamb Stew chief among them) with sweet things ranking fairly low unless they're evened out with other flavors- yes he wants sugar in his coffee, yes he wants this coffee strong enough to dissolve the roof of his mouth, both is good. spicy is an adventure more than a food- there are fond memories attached of challenges with his friends to eat extremely spicy things (or the warmth of his friends offering to share food that they grew up with, and reminding him in shocking 3D that his kholusia diet had not prepared him for Spiced Cactus Meat) but he doesn't seek out anything spicier than hot sauce on eggs.

seasons: ALL LIFE IS GREAT THE WORLD IS BEAUTIFUL but legitimately i think he'd probably find a lot to love in every season, so he'd be hard pressed to choose. winter might be oppressively cold, but he dresses warm and the cold is made up for by moments of warmth- and the quiet of the snow is nice. spring is muddy and the weather isn't reliable but it's beautiful and as a traveler, he gets to see it spread and watch animals emerge. summer is /hot as hell/ and wearing heavy armor + heat isn't a stellar combination but getting done with adventurer work for the day and falling face-first into a cold lake IS a stellar combination, and there's nothing like a cool summer night for campfires and friends. fall is back to being the perfect temperature and everything smells nice. this hasn't changed in death- sensations fondly recalled when he can't feel them. why make him choose, tbh

early bird/night owl: in life, early bird by force of habit and work! gotta get started early in the hero business, especially when they need to travel by foot. that isn't to say he's /good/ at mornings, especially after long, tiring days before- i imagine he's more like a slumped over pile of warrior clinging to coffee until he shakes off exhaustion. by actual preference, i think it's kind of like the seasons question- he loves late nights hanging out drinking or telling stories with his friends, but also loves the feeling of being so tired at 9 pm that he's already dead on his feet and asleep before he hits the bed, and there's nothing quite like waking up for the sunrise and the quiet of moments like that. post-death, the idea of "sleep" is a little nebulous- and time has completely lost meaning. olyzas is nocturnal, so late nights mean late nights spent hanging out with them when he has the chance to split off from the WoL- early mornings are calm and quiet and preferred times for wandering and seeing the Source at peace.

beach or mountains: THE BURDEN OF CHOICE IS OVERWHELMING beach, by a hair's margin! sand and waves and sunshine are the bulk of many warm, treasured memories with his companions, and make up a core part of his childhood on the island. ...but mountains mean hiking and good views and why can't he just be in love with the entire world all at once
