Oh my goodness...

I read your post (finally), and I thought the opposite of Curdle -- I think he is so full of emotion that he just doesn't know what to do with it, so he is reduced to simply apologizing. I think it is a very Curdle-like thing to do, haha, and it shows that he is so utterly consumed by his social status that even in a dream he feels it most necessary to apologize first before acting. Frankly, I am excited to see how he grows from this :)

My heart went out to him when Curdle actually felt sympathy for Tamal and wished he could help him. That, I think, was my favorite part of your post :) It would make sense for a fellow jinni, who has probably experienced a lifetime of abuse, to know that there are layers to Tamal's actions, that there are probably reasons that drove him to such extremes, and that it is not so black-and-white as Tamal was a bad person that he killed his master. This is why RP with you is so awesome *huggles*

Curdle literally becoming Miria in the beginning was a nice, unexpected touch. I totally dug it. And now for my response :)
