If you've ever met Savil, chances are that he was jotting something down in his notebook at the time. He is constantly looking for inspiration and references for his work as a writer- which isn't that hard for him as he finds everything useful and interesting. When he's not observing the clan's interactions and taking relevant notes, he's holed up in his office putting that information into literature. At times, he forgets to take care of himself and will go days without food or cleaning himself as he is absorbed in his work. His schedule is rather sporadic and involves days of work followed by binging on food and sleeping in odd places.

While he will resort to using telekinesis to keep going, his wrists are almost always aching due to his constant writing and switching between hands. Since he is a recluse and prefers to keep to himself, Savil would rather let the issue resolve itself than seek the help of one of the healers. This has been a concern of many, especially fans of his novels, but as he states, "You cannot help those who do not want to be helped."

Despite being reclusive and socially awkward, he knows his clansmates very well due his keen observations. Savil will sometimes let slip a pearl of wisdom to those who do not realize they are suffering or have a problem- which in turn helps them get the help they need. He is actually very knowledgeable about the psyche of others and how social relations work, he just has trouble putting it to practice.
