One likes the sense of "not-us-the-reader" that comes with this - how Isael's line of thought, when presented with "Aodh and kid", does NOT flow along the same routes that the reader's mind might expect, the priorities utterly different and yet perfectly sensible at the same time. It gives them a better flavor of what they are and aren't.

It's going to be all kinds of fun writing Isael through the first war; Ruadhan occasionally has a "...." moment at reminders that his youngest son is very much not operating out of quite the same moral and ethical code his own hindbrain expects. Isael's not home-raised, after all. :)

Good to know i'worked. :)

....a fourth [thought] discarded as soon as articulated....His cousin, whatever else he was, was not an idiot.

*dead* ahem. no. any occasional fleeting similarities to idiocy are a product of your imagination or are being perpetrated for a perfectly sensible, logical reason you just don't understand.

...still liking isael. a lot.

*snerk* or a shiny outweighing the sensible moment. All hail the inner goldfish.

Thanks. :) it's an interesting experience, being allowed in enough to watch the thought processes. Because as rose said up a few comments, he's not flowing along the same routes we-the-reader might expect.

*gigggle!* yes, but he can do that, because at least he can get himself back OUT of trouble again. woe to those that cannot keep up, tho. =p

*nodnod* that's what holds the fascination, tho. he sorta walks up the top of this cliff, over here, and then paraglides over to there, and then maybe takes a train back to here, and walks the rest of the way, and he still beat us there even tho we just got in our cars and drove straight over.

Yup. he usually remembers to check on anyone he's running with? >.>;

Tha's a neat metaphor. :)
