While writing this, I've not given any descriptions of Eli or Aeryn because part of what I love about reading is imagining for myself is what the main characters would look like. I have a picture in my head of what they both look like, but I'm really curious as to what you guys think. Could you comment and tell me what they look like to you, I think it'll be interesting. :) [fun fact - Emily and I imagined them in almost the exact same way, we were discussing it and it was both awesome and strange at the same time]

E: "Aeryn! Guess what?"
A: "During the night, you performed a satanic ritual to summon a demon and-"
E: "Sometimes I wish I never got you to start speaking."
A: "That's what you get."
E: "Anyway, no, there were no satanic rituals."
A: "That's disappointing."
E: "Aeryn, it's my birthday! Did you forget?"
A: "How could I forget when you inflicted a countdown on me that started last month?"
E: "I just wanted to make sure you'd remember..."
A: "Oh, don't worry, it's permanently etched into my brain."
E: "Your words hurt me. So, best friend, what did you get me?"
A: "...I didn't get you anything, per se..."
E: "Huh?"
A: "I drew this, here."
E: "Ooo, a drawing."
A: "I've been working on it for a while, but it's not very good."
E: "..."
A: "I had to draw you from memory, and all the stuff around the outside is logos of all the bands, films and things you like that I saw in your room. And look, Reginald is in the corner!"
E: "..."
A: "Oh God, you don't like it do you? I can do another one if you hate it, or I could just buy you something, Oh God, I'm sorry."
E: "..."
A: "Eli, say something!"
E: "...this is the second most amazing thing I've ever seen."
A: "You almost gave me a heart attack! I'm glad you like it though, although it's not that good, really."
E: "Oh, it really is, oh wow, Aeryn."
A: "...hey, what's the first most amazing thing you've ever seen then?"
E: "You."
