Very in-TLOTJ mood here, and of course Trever is IC. Liked the tete-a-tete between them and Trever's simplification of their relationship, ah youth. Ferus is simply Ryn-centric, attested to by his wanting to remember if she smelled the same and so forth; has she ever fed him, to make him doubt her cuisine? They must have done stuff like this, if they were on the run together. *happily thinks of their backstory, slowly revealed as it is.*
Another Amazing Coincidence!pronkerFebruary 27 2011, 18:33:22 UTC
Trever and Ferus I'd revisited via TLOTJ yesterday since Graystache gathered a ginormous virus Saturday a.m. that ate my new wall -- so back to Computer Guy he goes tomorrow, if at all possible. I'm concentrating on the family reunion today to dispel the discouraged feelings this engenders. Mom is 86!!
Ferus and Ryn are coming across as busy people, but not unfeeling ones to each other. One thing I can compare them to is a pilot light, small, warm, unending. to me that in TLOTJ stuff, he was sort of always focused on someone or something else, so it didn't feel quite right to have him brooding over his own problems/mission/life. I kind of liked the idea that Ryn doesn't see how important she is to him, only his focus on the larger picture. And you don't want your pilot light to go out, because it takes a violent strike of a match and dangerous messing with the gas to get it going again. *thinks of stove back in First Home*
Meh, maybe it will. It's just that how much I accomplish over the next three weeks is pretty much going to make the difference between graduating on time and NOT graduating on time, and the thing is that I keep finding MORE things that have to be done. Crazy. If I don't graduate on time, I may take a leave of absence so that I can (hopefully) go ahead and enroll at GMU. I'm not totally sure yet how all of that works, administratively - another thing I need to find out as the weeks pass. But regardless, there's only so much I can do in any given day. And the bottom line is that I love what I do, so spending more time doing it isn't the end of the world. Really. Sometimes I almost convince myself.
Why would you judge Trever? He's just a kid, and he's got a good heart.

How do you know he has a virus, anyway?
Pilot lights, yes, never fun to relight.

I like Trever here. Really in character.
And poor Ferus. Poor Ryn,
Of all the things Vader did on a daily basis, Ryn’s tears were the ones Ferus found it hardest to forgive.
Yes, this, because it is so close and so personal.

Thanks - Trever was harder to write than I'd expected, and I really wanted to capture the feel of his character from Watson's books.
Poor both of them, really.
Thank you for commenting!

*hopes your rl works out*
Trever is a fun character. I really liked how Ferus was nonjudgemental about him in the books.
