in which i continue to torment my characters

I've been writing quite a bit today. :) I'm quite pleased with my ability to ignore the siren call of video games thus far lol

Asdelar saw him turn and come towards them, and read the
angry intent clear on his face. His eyes widened in alarm.
“Hinego, no!”

It was Nohls who saved him.

He'd lingered on the stairs, waiting for Hinego. When
he saw the Red make a move, he rushed down the steps and
seized the smaller man in a bear hug, effectively pinning
his arms.

Hinego fought back instinctively, but the Sergeant was in
full Banam-hin armor, and was practically crushing Hinego
to him, head tilted wisely back to avoid a skull cracking
into his nose.

nameless

I spent a good deal of time yesterday working on GM's sequel, though I still have no idea what to call it. I keep going "oh, I'll post a little snippet on the blog", but there are so many spoilers in the first 20+ pages, I can't think of anything I could safely post that I didn't already.

Suffice it to say, I am not being very nice to Asdelar. o_o

Hmm~ I need more writing music...

Ah. Wait, I do have something random to babble about. I've seen a couple people ask about the engravings on the armor of the Banam-hin, wondering why I didn't go into much detail about it. In part this was because Asdelar didn't wear the armor in GM, but it was also a bit deliberate. I didn't want to specify; I figured vagueness was better so that anyone could imagine the engravings looking elegant/spiffy in a way that suited them. The fact that the armor is pleasing to the eye is more important that the specifics of what the designs look like, though in my mind the designs lean heavily towards elaborate curving lines.
