#Laios' strengths and weaknesses being related to his autism will always make me happy

[dunmeshistash]

do you have a compilation of laios as a leader? i know chilchuck wants him to improve on this specifically but afaik his only few major misses was not realizing someone was trying to seduce him and causing everyone to call shuro the wrong name (recruiting him seems to be a net positive for the party tbh)

Would be hard to remember where those instances are in the manga but I have these from the daydream hour, Laios interactions with his team members and them giving him a score.

He's above average even for Chilchuck who is his biggest critic!

The issue Chilchuck means is that a leader should ideally be able to keep spirits high and resolve conflicts within the party, but Laios didn't even realize that was happening before they came to him and said it.

There's a reason why they keep following him tho, even tho he's not great with people skills he makes up with great skills in exploring the dungeon, he also cares a lot about the well being of his teammates and listens to what they need. I think this good nature compensates for the overall lack of social skills

From the sorbet episode it seems like Falin helped compensate for it too, helping him communicate with the others.

His second attempt at a pep talk before the dragon fight was also awkward

He's doing his best tho! That's also one of the things I love how his character <3
