How does he take compliments?
 Generally: Like a puppy given a biscuit provided he cares about whose giving the compliment. Happy as shit but after it's all over it's stress city. Each compliment is another person he has to impress and another appearance he has to keep up. So outwardly he's happy as shit or doesn't given a fuck (depends on who it is again) and inwardly stressing out super hard that another person expects a great deal of him.

>Regarding work related/ability/capability:
Some of the best compliments he can get. This is what he's striving for after all. However it makes his fuck ups even more critical.

>Regarding personal; Appearance/attitude:
Attitude is the same as work related compliments as long as they fall in the lines of his work ethic. However anything else like he's a sweetheart or something kinda fall on deaf ears, same as appearance compliments. He'll politely thank you, depending on how abrupt the compliment was and move on his way.

>Spoken from a third party about him, he said/she said:
Depends on the third party. If it's anyone of importance to him he's a proud little thing. Anyone else and it doesn't hold much water to him.

>spoken to a third party in his presence:
Same as above. All depends on if he's looking good to the right people.

>>All of the above:
Answered them?

>>>Under pressure:
If you put him on the spot and compliment him, he honestly takes it, outwardly very well. Minds his manners, yes sirs and no sirs and is a happy little shit. Inwardly he might have panicked and afterwards he's thinking of ways not to fuck up. If anything more intense than being put on blast in a crowd and complimented, he'd probably ignore it for whatever was causing him to stress.

>>>In a calm environment;
Becomes an awkward thing that accepts his compliment either by aggressively saying thank you or meekly saying it, fiddling with things in his hands as he talks his way into saying trying to move it away from him. Generally he doesn't know how to respond to casual compliments that have nothing to do with him and in a non work environment where the compliment comes and goes, he has a hard time trying to figure out what to say or do after. Like when someone compliments your art but goes like I wish I could draw and you're like “thank you!” and hope they leave it alone.

>>>In solitary (Ie just him and brodie):
Same as above really. Except this really changes on their relationship. Worst of times he doesn't really care what Brodie has to say and might agressively respond with something like “you have no idea what you're even talking about” Very Tsundere.. Best of times he's excited as shit and might smile as his response and kinda brush it off like “right right, I don't think so but thank you”. Not really fishing for more compliments but more so honestly not seeing it that way. He has no self-esteem so Brodie compliments are stroking at an non-existent ego. But all the same they make him happy.

>>>In an uncomfortable environment, but not necessarily under pressure (social):
Small smiles and ducks his head. Might try to respond but most likely will kinda say his thank yous and leave it at that.
