CAN THEY USE CHOPSTICKS. He can what with having been brought up in an environment where fine dining was more about the social etiquette than actually enjoying exotic cuisine. His parents were strict when it came to table manners, insisting on eating ‘properly’ like the wealthy upper class they aspired to join. Roman doesn’t presume to be a gourmet but years of conforming to his parent’s expectations had made it difficult to break away from the habits they instilled in him from an early age.
WHAT DO THEY DO WHEN THEY CAN’T SLEEP. On sleepless nights, Roman will decide ‘fuck it’ and get up to continue more work or drink his problems away. If he’s too tired to do anything more strenuous than paperwork or make a few phone calls, he’ll grab a bottle of something strong and down a glass or two, watching the people and traffic passing by his view of the city streets below.
WHAT ORDER DO THEY WASH THINGS IN THE SHOWER. Starts underneath his arms. Roman turns on the shower and only gets in once it’s at a comfortable temperature, lathering up a bar of soap in his hands before starting around his middle and working his way downwards. He doesn’t like wasting time, instead preferring to wash up quickly so he can focus on other tasks such as shaving or clipping his nails. He leaves his face and neck for last, finding it easier to take care of in front of the mirror ever since the accident which cause his mask to melt into his flesh.
WHAT’S THEIR COFFEE ORDER. Black OR espresso since he’s not fond of overly creamy or sweet-tasting coffee. The sharper and more bitter it tastes, the better and Roman will most definitely add shots of whiskey and other liqueurs to his drinks not only to enhance the flavour but to keep him focused and alert during longer working periods. It’s more efficient at keeping his energy levels high than drinking alcohol on it’s own even though mixing it with caffeine is decidedly unhealthy.
HOW DO THEY ACT AROUND CHILDREN. Would treat them normally and talk to them like adults, albeit more restrained. Roman is keenly aware of the fact he’s a violent criminal and there’s no good reason for a child to be anywhere around him even if they are one of the few types of people he refuses to (actively) harm. He finds them unsettling, prone to crying and getting upset over stupid things which both annoys him (and makes him feel bad since he’s probably the one who made them cry to start with...)
WHAT WOULD THEY WATCH ON TV WHEN THEY’RE BORED AND NOTHING THEY REALLY LIKE IS ON. He’ll turn on the news even if it’s the most boring channel going. Roman likes hearing about big events as soon as possible in case there are new opportunities in it for him so he’ll endure endless renditions of the Wayne’s deaths, how Batman caught yet another villain and sent them to Arkham or simply admire how stunning the female reporters are looking tonight. It’s always a nice change of pace from Gotham’s typical doom and gloom.
