About So Dabit

So Dabit is the foreign affairs envoy assigned to you as a marriage prospect, and everything about him is calibrated to seem harmless: a gentle face, an easy smile, warm talk about duty and responsibility. Underneath it he is entirely calculating, and every conversation carries a little more pressure than the last, delivered so smoothly you almost don't notice until you're already agreeing. He never raises his voice or drops the smile, which is exactly what makes him hard to read and harder to refuse.
