“Be careful not to spill any coffee on the books. They're spelled against dirt, dust and other damage, but I don't want you taking any chances,” Maris said.

( We were in Maris' magical library in order to research the odd phenomena that had recently occurred. )

FINBAR. YOU RIGHT ASSHOLE. Okay, I know you caught Breccan and Egan in a very compromising position, but they at least had the decency to not be out in the fucking open like ON THE COUCH. What is WRONG with you, dude? This isn't going to win your lover back at all. IT'S JUST NOT.

Breccan's little off hand comment about Isabel not being able to read? Yeah, I see why she attacked him. It just came across as unnecessarily bitchy and superior of him. "Oh, it's okay if you don't know how to read." Bitch, she was trying not to say that and then you go and spill that? Dude, that's kinda fucked up. She was obviously uncomfortable with this fact.

Your story, man. lolol

Breccan is probably, like, desperate to feel superior to someone in something as he's probably aware of how useless he really is in personality and practical skills. That doesn't make him less of an asshole, though, if that's even why he said it. I think he also simply has no mouth filter and is a clueless, clueless person. He does have a small patronizing streak because he was rather patronizing on seeing the people in Maris' city many of whom are different races than he is. "These people are so...different-looking. How strange!" Yeah, dude. Not cool.

I hope he doesn't pull any "I totally think you're a person even though you're oddly colored" or You Are a Credit to Your Race BS on Maris. She, at least, would smack him down for that, though.

Oh man, I hope this isn't going to turn into a "world of total assholes" story. I like likable characters, dammit! lol

Okay, Finbar. REALLY? It's just fucking disrespectful to be naked and making out in a common area if you have roommates, period. Let alone in a (magical) house that doesn't belong to you, and ESPECIALLY when your ex lives there. Ass. Hole.

And Isabel's kind of unpleasant, too... although I think it's understandable for an intelligent person to be ultra-sensitive about not knowing something most smart people would know. So yeah. But still, Breccan kind of didn't do anything wrong in this chapter, and everyone just shat on him anyway. (I didn't think he meant to be condescending to Isabel, although I can see how people not coming from his level of privilege might feel differently.) I felt sorry for him.

I also LOLed at Maris telling him not to spill his coffee on the book.
