Good to hear that everything's allright Child... well, "alright" being a relative term.

But like I said the last time I'm on my way to a summercamp tomorrow and will be back in a week just to start the school-season (the first days will be pretty rough). But I hope to turn back to this in 1½-2 weeks with at least some effort. I do have a few larger projects in the beginning of the season but it should ease a bit when September comes.

Well.............Athwen's spoken. I am tempted to revise and re-write, and I may, too, but it's there, so things can move on without worrying about me. If I have a chance and if I edit it again, I'll let you all know.

Tevildo, I used Dorran there at the end. If you think he'd act differently towards her, then go ahead and let me know how you'd like me to write it. I wasn't sure quite what to do just then. Just let me know if it's alright or if it isn't.

Well, that post is finally up. Finally.

A couple of things:

Tevildo - I can edit and leave it open for a response from Dorran before Aiwendil shuts everyone up.

Child - I used Aiwendil and Lindir very briefly, I hope it's alright. I can edit however you'd like.

Wow. I'm glad I know you like Athwen, Durelin, 'cause Khamir sure doesn't.

Now...she didn't make that much of a mistake calling Shae a girl, did she? Shae's only in her early twenties at most, isn't she?

Durelin · 08-14-2007, 09:31 PM

Oh, Khamir just didn't like her tone with the 'girl' thing...and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't want to think of her as just a girl...

I dunno - but no, I didn't see it as a mistake.

And yeah, sorry...he certainly has his opinions...

Well, Grask is about ready to make his move. First, I think, the male Orcs need to be moved out of the pit, because a) it needs to be free for the kids and b) Grask would be more likely to act seeing them about to die rather than just knowing it in his head - especially if it was Ishkur who was set to die first, who Grask feels a special sort of loyalty towards.

Someone else can write that part or I will, if no one jumps on it... but Grask is still just an observer until he actually comes out.

Folwren · 08-15-2007, 07:40 AM

Yes, he most certainly does have his opinion. lol! I was getting ready for bed yesterday after reading your post and I couldn't help but think....

"Brainless? Spineless?" said I to myself, "She is not so reputed! Athwen's not spineless. After stitching them up all night, they're a pack of grateful people now aren't they?"

I had to keep reminding myself - "Athwen didn't hear those words...She doesn't know that's what he was thinking...besides, she's older than you and not like you, she won't fire up at the insult..."

You're post was obviously stirring in one quarter.

Edit By the way - it would be awesome to see a response from Dorrran, Tevildo.
