I’m really piling it on Evrina right now. Emotional distress with Jess, extreme lust with Carol, and now the man who knocked her off her perch, and stole her best friend. I almost feel sorry for her.

If this took place earlier in the story Carol and Thomas would probably be pretty shaken up too, but at this point even Carol has accepted Reggie. Maybe not as a friend, but at least as something other than an enemy. Reggie probably won’t give any thought to seeing them here outside of just noticing them and going on about his day. He tends to be pretty self absorbed and Evrina will likely catch all of his attention.

The spear wound thing is a little factoid I learned along the way and it really isn’t fair to call out Reggie for it. I don’t think it’s something most people would realize unless they are prone to giving these sorts of details a lot of thought. Victoria is a little faster on the draw than Reggie and also generally more aware and likely to remember minutia. She’s also his sister and prone to being less charitable to him because of their sometimes adversarial relationship. Of course they are becoming something more like fully functioning adults, so their sibling rivalry is easing a bit. Of course I say that while being nearly 50 and still having some level of rivalry with my own sister. It is quite possible that any rivalry is one sided and completely based on my own poor estimation of myself rather than any active antagonism on her part though. Of course as a man who makes a meager living drawing imaginary people it would probably be fair to say that I am not a mature participant in any situation. In any event I’m looking forward to creating the next part of my imaginary world if for no reason other than I will be extremely amused by it. If any outside observers are amused that will simply be a bonus.

Anyway, that’s about all I have for now. I look forward to seeing you on Friday. Until then, rotate like a heroic fist fighting tornado!
