> He also just seems to be able to arrange circumstances Just So, he just Decides what should happen and it more or less does. Need an introduction to high society to start your revenge plan? Just get the son of someone who is pretty sure you’re dead kidnapped and then rescue him so he believes himself in your debt.

> Also let’s not forget despite being a self possessed man with a large fortune whose borderline magic he gets super close to fainting a lot and is absolutely EXTRA to the very end

Edmond’s really out here like

“Oh you tried to kill the Crown Prosecutor and rescued his half-dead son? What a coincidence.. how strange that you’d be the guy I hired.. out of all people.. ”

“Oh did you happen to spot the man who killed your father while you were at the opera? That’s so weird 😳 what was he doing there??”

“Oh hello woman I just met, you seem to have a strange interest in poisons.. I can totally teach you about how to make some, if you’d like”

And everyone’s like

“this guy is Creepy but also Attractive but also He Is Pale And Cold but he also gives good advice that will definitely never turn out bad for anyone ever.. so when you weigh the pros and cons, I’d say he’s an overall trustworthy guy!!”
