I have to get to work, but I can at least post this. I'll post more when I have a moment so Riven's relationships with the other characters can be explored more thoroughly.

@ Acrolith: We've talked about Riven and Taula's relationship pretty extensively via PM. Was there anything else you wanted to discuss? Oh, and if Taula wants to use a baby name to mess with Riven just call her a 'pup.' Galene used it in a derogatory fashion when Riven was growing up so it would definitely be a sore spot.

@ Hank: I know we have a basic idea for how Riven and Nykerius would react around each other. I'd be down for hammering out more details if you'd like.

@ Raptorman: We have a general notion of how Riven would interact with Lin'Lise. They might have bonded a bit over the chymistry thing, but the prejudices the Koralias have regarding non-human races still take precedent. While Riven can appreciate how kind Lin'Lise is to everyone, I cannot imagine them being close friends. Good acquaintances, maybe.

@ Everyone else: I'll think about how Riven would deal with Sir and Roderick while I'm at work. Now, I'm going to be late!
