This waxes and wanes for me. Right now I’m having a blast writing for my Noble lady, but I also have a couple of really great writing partners to bounce her off of. 

Some months I have a better time writing my more rough, paladin lady (who this blog belongs to!) when I’m in the mood for her particular brand of socializing -- which really is much different from Fiorenze. 

They’re definitely my top two right now, and have been for a while. It really boils down to whether or not I feel like they’re interesting enough to write for, and if they’ve got other people and other stories to be active in. 

// I will answer this in 2 ways :D 1, dialogue as in during an rp One of the favorites this year was the part of the interaction between Arlyn and Zeehva in ‘Nothing but Trouble’. Zee already gifted a piece of jewelry for free when Arlyn came to purchase cloth material and accessories. Since the singer couldn’t refuse, she didn’t accept any more discount and argued for a higher price for the rest of the stuff. Hardly your usual way to purchase items from a merchant. 2, dialogue in my short stories When Sam finally wakes up after being saved next to Ara in Claws of Death - Pt. II. and she gets angry why wasn’t Arabella also healed as much as possible. In truth Ara refused any more healing than absolutely necessary since she wouldn’t be able to fight after losing an arm anyway.

Leon: “Lonesome. I was never... especially sociable, growin’ up. People made me nervous an’ I just wanted t’ make thin’s or play with th’animals or go walkin’ in th’ woods. Pretty sure nobody really believes me about tha’ these days, knowin’ ‘ow I am now, but a lot o’ tha’ is still there. I’m just better at dealin’ with  a lot of it by now.”

Terry: “Gods, I miss bein’ a stupid kid now... Least back then all I ‘ad t’worry about was gettin’ in trouble with mum’n’dad if I got caught throwin’ cow patties at th’ watch wagons or drinkin’ shitty booze one o’ my buddies made or neckin’ with a girl in somebody’s barn. It was a good time.”

I cannot stress how important it is that I and the other character’s mun actually be friends. I used to feel this was a little bit elitist or unrealistic, but I’m technically An Old now because my age has a three at the beginning, and I’ve been burned too many times by people I didn’t know well enough before I got my characters wrapped up in theirs. Retcons are ugly, uncomfortable, confusing affairs, and I try not to resort to them.
