What a 180 degree turn Aria has made since their first encounter in that tomb. I really do love how you had her emphasize how stupid she thought he was for a while(let's be honest, he IS a rather bold idealist), but then it grew on her. Nyawwww, these two! Got the warm and fuzzies now xD Also, feeling a LOT of relief. I mean, yes, romantic tension is great to write for a while, but man alive I just wanted them to profess their love already! xD Now, before I post, I feel like we've reached a "checkpoint" of sorts, which means we have a LOT of room to determine the next Act. I'll post my thoughts in the characters tab in...a bit? Maybe next thirty minutes or so? We can exchange some ideas, then go from there?
