I think I looked, and the only time he laughs is as a little kid. I think that's right. (Although now that I think of it, I can't remember when he DOES laugh...I just feel like he did at some point during his kid flashbacks. But it might've been more of an awed gasp...?)

I can see that. I don't remember whether it actually happened, but it would make sense. In any case, I am now on the lookout for laughter from Fakir. xD

Maybe...I guess he figures at this point that since he read it to him as a kid, there's no sense in keeping it from him now. But then why limit his reading at all? What is Fakir afraid he'll find if he reads everything?

Yeah, maybe he figures the damage is already done, or something. And I don't know; maybe it's just part of how Fakir got carried away in trying to protect Mytho. Maybe he's afraid that if Mytho reads a tragedy, he'll go looking for the characters so he can save them. xD

Oooh, good point. So she's sort of an audience surrogate? (Also, the other stuff you said there makes sense, too.)

Well, yeah, I guess. She's an opportunity for other characters to give exposition. The same kind of thing happens later when Fakir needs Autor to explain stuff to him. xD

Awesome! XD You'll have to tell us if you see any!

...That would be an awesome fanfic. XD

That makes sense! The need to have some sort of newbie so everything could be laid out for you.
