He really can't help all that much in terms of planning and diplomacy because in many ways he's still the street thug and merciless killer he was when he went to prison. PEnance's vow of silence isn't jsut a show of his repentance for past deeds it's impulse control. His impulse is to kick the door in, shoot everything that's holding a knife, reaching for a knife, or whose face he doesn't like, and twist the arrows in whoever's left alive to find out what they need to know. This idea of trickery and investigation is alien to him so he'll be going with the flow.</p>
<p>Beyond that I keep him low key so whenever I do make posts with long descriptions of actions and thoughts there's more meaning to them. Needless to say if Penance starts to get mroe animated he's worth paying attention to as it's not something done lightly. Sorry about the pressure even if Penance were a talker it wouldn't be much different.</p>Sorry but Penance is somewhat of a low key character by design.

<p>Penance, would you want to switch to a vow of loudness or something else to help address this?</p>
<p>Or maybe be more 'vocal' with your descriptions, movements, or gestures?</p>Penance wrote:Penance remains silent watching for enemies.
