Laguna rarely battled him, actually - it was up to Ragnarok to help with the kids a lot, and Edgar turned to caring for the eggs Laguna brought in a lot.

I imagine, though, that he'd be 'Often lost in thought', and is overwilling to show how strong he is. A bit overbearing, actually - he has trouble understanding when to stop, because Ragnarok had no willingness to teach that. Whoops.
