did I get it right this time? I’m obsessed with trying to achieve a basic ability to communicate via the metric system. XD

You nailed it! And don’t worry, metric to imperial is pretty loose, I would usually just say 6′ is about 180 cm and 5’10” is about 175. That isn’t completely accurate but it’s the way everyone measures it, so a cm up or down doesn’t make the least difference XD

Also…I just noticed that in your tag “colored” isn’t spelled with a “u”. Do you spell it “colored” or “coloured” in the Netherlands?

Whether I spell British or American is solely up to autocorrect and muscle memory XD There’s neither rhyme nor reason to it, so I say “gray” but “colored”. I never really think about it XD I think I learned the British way but hanging around with Americans got me to unconsciously adopt the other way XD

Also, poor Avin!! That’s such a traumatic backstory, I’m glad he got his happy ending!

he should be in some sort of doublet and hose situation, but I keep thinking of him in the Spanish costume. (loose trousers,  shirt, and embroidered jacket.)

I’m delighted to inform you that the slightly ridiculous trousers were also common in other parts of Europe around the early renaissance and late medieval times, especially in combat training situations. He could definitely plausibly wear that, and there was a lot of fashion migration over Europe, so it isn’t implausible!
