[Scalvoris Town] Shall we do lunch?

He looked surprised when she envisioned the sole-skinning, and Faith's smile was wry as she looked at him. "Remember, I told you about the zombies and frypan incident? About throwing a brush head at Tristan's brother then attacking him with the handle? Knocking his other brother over the head with a dagger and threatening to pin his friend to the wall by his entrails? I meant them all and that was in defence of a man who owned me." Briefly, she reached up and stroked his cheek. "Not the man I love. For him, I'd charge at an Immortal on a rooftop without thinking and woe betide any jealous little snot who thinks he's messing with just one of us. We come as a package and at least one of us is a lunatic."

When he said that he'd pick up the last of his things after class, Faith nodded her head. "You do that," was her only response, but there was no doubting it. She was going shopping. They both knew it and that was part of what made it fun, she supposed. Once they were outside, she returned his kiss and went about her afternoon list of things to do, which had been expanded to include a shopping trip. She had a quieter afternoon than him, she knew, so she worked it around that, by the time he got home there were new clothes in the wardrobe and a neat pile of other supplies on his side of the bed.

Comments: “We come as a package and at least one of us is a lunatic.” Doesn’t that just sum up Padraig and Faith’s relationship to a tee! ;) Haha, great thread, you two! Padraig and Faith have such an intimate relationship, and you can really see it in the every day, commonplace things they do together. They're beautifully protective of each other in a way that feels true, and I enjoy their matter-of-fact manner of speaking mixed with their individual quirkiness.

A few other lines I enjoyed: "Faith continued to take metaphorical steps forward and so, she took the extra physical step, into his arms" and, "It was the forgetfulness, ironically, that one tended to remember."

The only note I would make is about conversation splicing - and please take it with a grain of salt, because this is just my own personal preference when it comes to RP! <3 I noticed that your characters are often carrying on three or four different conversations in a single post as a result of replying to all of the comments from previous posts. This can sometimes slow the forward movement and take the reader out of their flow as they try to remember the context of what is being replied to. If you'd like to limit the conversation splicing, it might help to limit your posts to one conversation topic at a time in order to give the other player a chance to respond before moving forward. Alternatively, if conversation splicing starts to happen, it may help to respond to the earlier statements with body language or thought process rather than verbally. Again, just a personal preference and by no means law! Do with this information what you will (including tossing it into the trash, if you like). :D

Overall, a lovely social thread and great character interaction! I'm looking forward to your next one.

If you feel I've missed anything or if you have questions about your review, please don't hesitate to send me a quick PM. Thanks!
