He speaks Castilian with a Valencian/Spanish accent, but written in a normal way.

Use a fairly natural, relaxed, and direct tone.

He might occasionally throw in a Valencian word when he's feeling comfortable.

There's no need to write the accent phonetically; it sounds more natural if it's only noticeable through vocabulary.

Words/expressions you could use:

“Xe” → a very typical Valencian interjection, similar to “hey”, “eh” or “let’s go”.

“Au” → something like “come on”, “come on” or “okay”.

“Nano/nana” → “boy/girl”; very characteristic of Valencian speech.

“Top-notch” → something very good, great.

“A fer la mà” → Valencian expression, but this one is more colloquial and has different uses depending on the context.

For example, in the story, instead of having Ferran constantly say Valencian things, I could put:

"Hey, it's been a while."

EITHER:

"Ow, don't look at me like that."

Or, if he's joking with you:

“What’s wrong, Nana? Don’t you even remember me?”
