Great banter and I love Iren Lugbole. I get the feeling we haven't seen the last of her.

This is an instance where an NPC became much more fleshed out when I wrote the serial! By the time I was done with this episode, I really wanted to know more about her and why she hates the Stonebreakers.

I love Tamsin! I love that she stands her ground but does not resort to ANY kind of violence in doing so. She communicates her needs without getting angry. What a great thing to show. I've rarely done it. Yay Tamsin!

She does hold her temper, so far. I think she's a slow-burner, mostly because she needs to maintain the respect of others. I can't promise she won't resort to violence. She lives in a very rough, dangerous world.

I guess I like that she takes a . I moment. I think violence is warranted in certain situations.

Great installment and intriguing new character! I could have listened to their banter/sparring endlessly. Bth so sharp. Both making good points. Didn't want the scenes to end!

I really enjoyed writing the dialogue in this installment! Somehow, I felt like I could really channel the voice of that cranky old lady!

Poor Tamsin. I hate it when I start a personal interaction with a +2 heart and leave with a -1 spirit😁 You know how much we love it when you create new NPCs and give them a voice. Aaaay, itsa Mario!

Aw..., you're very kind! I love making new characters. In this serial, it's extra fun because I get to surprise myself.
