 Eightfold 12/22/01 . chapter 1I like this, lots and lots and lots. Granted, Xu's characterization is very much a matter for fanon, as she gets almost no screen time, but I /like/ how you create her voice here: calm, self-posessed, obviously in love without being pathological or overdramatic it the way most teenagers are - but still with little notes of jealousy and wonder that make it evident that no matter how grown up she and Quistis have been forced to become, they *are* still kids. The writing style is nice, light, subtle, sketching solid and tactile impressions without drowning in too much description or too many events. Simply lovely. |
