Good. Tristan is still the same selfish, manipulative person that is just trying to use others to feel better about himself. But even I would feel a bit of pity for how pathetic it is for him to do so much for a worthless man like Gaspard. Dude can't do anything by leech off of the accomplishments of others and blames others for his own incompetence.
I can't believe none of those pieces of wood didn't critically impale him on impact. But that would have been to merciful a death. And the way he just left Tristan and now Tristan is being convinced to leave him. Tristan probably thinks once he starts living with Ivona he could seduce the Duke and take her position or something equivalently dumb
