Adam’s General Thoughts
“Drama… exquisite, was it not? As though I were seated at the theatre itself, if ever I had stooped to such indulgence. The emotions, thick enough to drown in, the very air heavier than blood. And then… he ate the paper. Absurd. Laughable. Almost endearing in its stupidity. Yet still, Tarvo. You heard me. You even saw me. How precious. Try not to make a fool of yourself next time.”
Adam’s Thoughts on the group
Kerrick
“Hah. The old man bared his teeth today. Vindictive, sharp, just as I hoped. Not nearly so useless as I once thought. Perhaps there is still some fire left in the so-called Dragon of the West.”
Rona
“Rona, trying to end it today, were you? Plain idiocy. What would I do without you? Do not be daft, your life matters more than you seem to think. Pull yourself together. But mark me: if you ever put Gwen or Tarvo in real danger, I will not stand idly by. I will stop you.”
Florien
“Florien, you are a brave man. You did not spill everything, but you gave Tarvo something real. I appreciate that. Do not mistake me, Tarvo is no scholar of feelings; he is clumsy with them. Yet I saw you drop your guard, that flicker of vulnerability. It mattered.”
Adam’s Thoughts on specific NPCs
Nikki
“She had bite. All fire, passion, and no shortage of sass. Exactly the sort that keeps things interesting.”
Aiko
“She carried wisdom, plenty of it. We respect our elders, Tarvo, and she was the perfect example of why.”
