Etiquette and Manners

Though Tyson has had every type of etiquette and manners drilled into his head from a young age, Tyson only values them up until a point.

A point where their purpose remains polite, rather than exclusionary.

With rare exceptions, such as a steak knife which actually helps cut the food, Tyson does not care which piece of cutlery someone decides to eat with. He will purposefully put his knife and fork in the ‘wrong’ hands out of spite for that point.

It’s just a game to make someone feel superior and he hated having to play along at the dinners his father hosted at the manor. He much preferred the garden parties where everything was finger food and that game was taken away.

He always makes sure to - as best he can - abide by the local version of what is polite, but Tyson never really cares about saying or hearing ‘please’. He views it as polite to say ‘thank you’, but ‘please’ as unnecessary. A request is carried out or it isn’t, ‘thanks’ or ‘cheers’ is gratitude if the task was carried out.

Though Tyson has a tendency to introduce himself, he honestly doesn’t care about saying hello or goodbye. He often wanders away from conversations and leaves without a second thought about saying his goodbyes. He just doesn’t see it as necessary, but he can understand why others think that its impolite.
