Monday I started on Chapter 14! The opening section isn't too long before we get to the real purpose of the chapter, which is obviously getting to spend some proper time with the love interest! :D
Breaking with my usual order, I'm actually starting with Mason/Morgan's scene this time. There's quite a bit of revelations in this one that I want to make sure to get right (also other ones depending on pas...

Nate/Nat instantly lights into a smile. “Well that’s charming.”

Nate/Nat and Farah/Felix glance to each other before Farah/Felix shrugs with a nod.
"It was kind of obvious," they comment before flopping back against their chair with a sigh. "Except to Adam/Ava and [Name], apparently."

"Winning," Tamiko answers, turning to Maaka and Tane who give agreeing chuckles and nudge her playfully.
Lesedi smiles. "It's true. Mostly we will adapt to the situation rather than stick resolutely to one style. All of my team are well-trained in various forms of combat that they can do so without issue."
Maaka presses his hands to his cheeks and coos. "Aw, Lesedi. If you keep talking like that, I'm going to ge...

"As far as I'm aware, I wasn't around in the 1800s." They roll their head around to Adam/Ava, who gives a stiff nod, before looking back to you with a shrug. "So stick with your idea of me in jeans and jackets." A smirk tilts their lips. "U...

They tap at their chin in thought. "The vampire who created me is still alive, I believe. It's been some time since I've searched for information regarding him. But he was already centuries old when I met him."

It wasn't even the original plan for the scene, hehe! :D
I realised that the scene I had just didn't have enough emotional punch to it for the LI split scenes afterwards (where there's a lot of aftermath emotion happening) to make sense.
It was all right, but it just wasn't...enough. And you know me and my angst, heh...
