Why are you weeping for me?
You mean this line in my last post:
This is all my co-writer's characters and he is excellent in characterization and actions, it makes me weep.
Well, I'll pull out some excerpts:
"I've met someone that doesn't feel like pain," Ignis let slip out. He looked up at his uncle. "Maybe I'm doing it all for him."
"Tell me about him," Uncle demanded, only to clear his throat to his nongangster voice. "I mean, if you want."
Ignis looked off into the garden. "Maybe I donāt know enough to yet." He looked back at his uncle, smiling. "I think that's my favorite part."
[I love this exchange. It establishes Ignis's love for Noctis without stating that's who it is. It also establishes Uncle's attempts to not be gruff and allow Ignis the room to open up if he wants since he's usually private. I like Ignis's hope and optimism here that contrasts with the previous chapters. Almost like a reprieve.]
And then there's this exchange:
Cor put his hands up. He was holding a small case in one hand. "Okay, sorry, you're right. I should have knocked. I heard you sounding upset and I panicked." He glanced at Ignis. "I wanted...I wanted to check on him."
"You stay away from him!" Uncle yelled. "You and yours have done nothing but hurt him! I humored you, but where were you last night?"
"Drinking," Cor answered. "I was...drinking everything in the house and then I ordered more. Shit, I'm still drunk, okay?" He eased down onto the side of the porch near Ignis, burying his face in his hand. "What did Amicitia do?" he asked weakly.
[I love Uncle's serious protectiveness punctuated by Cor's pathetic candidness.]
There's a lot more moments like this and I'm not spoiling Cor's gift, or the cait siths. It's just good and it's a chapter both humorous and touching after too many chapters of weeping in a traumatic or frustrated way. This is weeping like a nice reunion between old lovers, or weeping when someone 'gets' you.
