Deuce possibly likes Crewel (and spends more time with him, due to remedial lessons and tutoring) than other students. When assigned a remedial lesson with Crewel he reacts with “I’d be happy to!.”
Deuce has a voice line that says, “If there’s anything you don’t understand, you should ask Professor Crewel. He’ll spend hours teaching you until you get it.”
Crewel takes over for looking after both Ace and Deuce during Book 6 after they get knocked unconscious during the fight with the Ferrymen.
During Fair Gala IF Crewel observes, “Pups grow right before our very eyes.It seems like they’ll be a handful forever, but then before you know it, they’ve grown into big, strong dogs. You can be sad about it. It’s just proof of how much you love them. There’s nothing strange or wrong about it.”
Deuce says, “Wow, Professor Crewel. I never knew you saw us that way…” and Crewel responds, “I do. But I think you could stand to do a little more growing, Spade. Especially academically.”
