(( ⇅ and ✜ o: ))

✜ what’s their posture like in a normal situation?

Depends where he is? I mean, he stands up straight, head up, shoulders back and relaxed, his body at ease with his feet shoulder-width apart when he’s alone in the woods or on the road. But when he’s in a tavern full of people, or in any sort of enclosed space with people in it, his shoulders tend to hunch a little as if taking up a little less space will help his claustrophobia. He still keeps his head up, just not quite as high.

If he’s forced into interaction he’ll stand up straighter, but his knees are bent and his weight settles more on the front of his feet. He does this since if he is attacked (like he subconsciously thinks he will be), he won’t get knocked onto his ass and be at the mercy of his assailant. Interacting with friends he’ll stand up straighter and be more at ease, but he still keeps his weight over the front of his feet rather than his heels.
