By the way, I also wanted to mention how awesome of a job you did on both the physical and emotional traits of Quintis' character creation.
So now I wondering if Quin is Lady Zuzu's hired hand. You still haven't gotten to the fact that she has been planing to kill Fleur to make Rathe suffer, and then I assume kill him as well. She has hired someone ... or at least is working with someone ... and we still don't know who. Pretty sure it is not Darius at this point as that doesn't seem to make sense all things considered. However Quin ... Quin could be a perfect set up. One doesn't act all nice and friendly and then grow cold ... not when words have so much meaning in a story as every word tends to be picked for a reason. Course it could be something else entirely and just misdirection ... guess I will have to wait and see
Nice shots and the story itself was very entertaining. Very much looking forward to the next chapter as I believe most of the DB dies at this point in the vanilla story. Yet Arnie is still around and so I am not sure what your plans are.
interesting new development about quin. i love how everything is different b/w rathe and fleur ...fleur seems to have grown a bit, feels more calmer...
great one jess
Rathe and Fleur's "conversation" seems to have gotten their heads in order. Good to have someone like her to balance his more brutal side. And poor Darius... hopefully he'll get over Fleur and all that's happened, in time.
I'm not sure what to think of Quintus now, though. He's friendly enough with Rathe, but you have to wonder what he's really up to.
Good pics as always, too! Nicely done!
Darius continues to be annoying, I just have a hard time to believe that he is such love sick puppy that he looks like, even if this is paranoia... but it is just that Dark Brotherhood doesn't strike me as organization who would welcome such simple boys as Darius as he is now, behaving like smitten lad around Fleur... Still, it is interesting that he wants revenge on Astrid too, though I can hardly imagine he can overcome her in direct fight, unless of course he will use his magic to strike from the corner when she doesn't suspect him...
Fleur made brilliant observation in my opinion when she compared Rathe and Darius, Rathe with his mastery and Darius with youthful desperation... Apparently Fleur received a great pleasure from her passionate night and I am very happy for her and for Rathe, it is heartwarming that he was so sweet and tender with her... And I think Darious certainly won't be happy to discover how close Fleur has become with Rathe... Quintis certainly noticed it already.
And speaking of Quin... he gives me creeps, this guy is up to no good certainly and I wonder what his real purpose and goals are. I guess this will be revealed eventually.
Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful work and I am looking forward for continuation!
P.S. I have no problems with heroes using potty language, it won't feel right if Quin or Rathe will suddenly begin to talk like two prudish old ladies at dinner who get a blush when hearing any dirty word. Such language in Rathe's tale gives very realistic feeling to it in my opinion.
"....a slow, strange smile crept across his lips...."
And then that cold expression on his mug as his "old friend" galloped away with his "tag-alongs"....
I liked how Fleur called Rathe her "Love" now. She'll give Rathe the light in his tragic life he has so desperately needed to help him overcome his long darkness from now on. ^^
"Nocturnal conversations" indeed! ^^
Why do I get a strong feeling FEW words were actually spoken, and even LESS sleep was shared between those two last night? ^^
So Darius wants revenge on Astrid too now?? That's an interesting twist to say the least!
Could it all, however be just as much a load of B.S. as Quin's supposed "friendship" ??
Darius WILL eventually find out about Fleur and Rathe both now being an "item", and thus heartbroken, what will he think or do then??
Your "potty language" is very realistic, and I for one do not find it nearly as offensive as the militant, moral-majority types who try to "sanitize" everything we say and do in life that they happen to disapprove of.
( "KISS, Detroit Rock City"s fanatical "MATMOKs" come to mind here....^^ )
Endorsed. Kind thanks for this wonderful but slightly bittersweet angst, Jess, and cheers, dear!
Great episode Jess!
You're right, no way are they gonna say "Oh, flipping heck!" or such!
Yeah, Quin's...
