Oh Paul! Wee man. Well, tall man *g* God, he's adorable. This is lovely, I love him smoking on the pier, and Dimitri speaking in Greek :DDD Mmmm, the sea.And the rain! Your desctiption is wonderful. I'm very much looking forward to more, and I shall rec this at my journal either now, or after work, which might be better timed :)
YAY! So glad you're liking these two. They do seem a little broken, and it's just the beginning! I think it's just the adjustment taking toll - they're both so young, and for Paul, with his father putting him on edge, it's all a bit difficult. I also think I just naturally write angst. lol.
Also, I'm lovingggg how you're pointing out the certain natural ability Dimitri has of being a spook. It's just a natural talent with him, and sure, he has things to learn, but the basics, it's just there.
Also, your characters...whether Dimitri, or completely your own like Paul or his father, the descriptions always are SO spot on. I can SEE them so perfectly; both their personalities and their physical descriptions. And I think I might tell you that all the time, BUT IT'S TRUE OKAY. I just have to reiterate. LOL.
I think it's a requirement Dimitri speak Greek at least once, don't you? Because it's lovely. *g*
At first that natural spooking was just a joke of Paul's, but yes, what you point out is true. He is observant, but he's also so young here, so he's got a lot to learn. Like Paul says, 'You've got to work on the subtlety.' He has an instinct, but he's not finessed it.
*blushes* Thank you! I'm always nervous about original characters, and I'm so glad that Paul has been so well received. I have a compulsion to be very descriptive, I think stemming from being artistic. I don't mind that you reiterate, it convinces me that I'm writing something well, by the fact that people are responding to it and seeing it all as clearly as I do when I write it.
So thanks again! More soon (I can't stay away from these two for long). :D
HEEE. You are too kind to my little old comments. <333
YES. He must speak Greek once at least. Two, three, or four + times I would not be averse to either. ;)
I love the descriptiveness, and it's not over descriptive you know? It paints the picture beautifully but at the same time lets the reader infer from certain details too. Keep using that artisticness in your writing I say!
I take your comments to heart, bb, so you'd best not say anything mean! lol.
Oh, at least. I don't know if I trust the translator enough to use it for more than just snippets, though.
Aw, thank you! I don't like to be overly descriptive, I like subtlety, because I feel that people are smart enough to not be hit over the head with description of eye colour, you know? I'm not expert, but you don't have to go into minute detail. BLAH BLAH. It gets old, and tedious. I'm not OCD enough to write that way, but I think you do need to paint the picture of appearances, and personality, and how they're altered by certain environments, but should keep it short. I think you should give an initial description, and then play on it, add to it, with changes in place, age, expression etc.
Thank you! It's a real compliment that you think it fits with canon and seems realistic. I'm also glad you think my characters are dimensional and like Paul so much. More soon!

The artisticness is how I naturally write. ;P
