Fantastic scene to revisit. I forgot just how much fun these characters are. There are a few chuckle-out-loud lines in here, alongside assloads of genuinely good advice. Evangeline feels like such an *embodied* character right out the gate, flesh and blood and warts and all. And in that way, she makes the half-mad and enchanted life seem not only aspirational, but achievable for all of us. It just takes the patience to look, and the willingness to listen.
thanks very much. and yes, before you ask—i'm making progress on your piece as well. it was a thrill to get a mention in the same sentence as Dougald Hine, thanks for that.
I'm enjoying this. The setup reminds me of The Sea, The Sea; but I actually like your characters.
i'll have to check that out, haven't come across it before... glad to hear that the characters are worthwhile, thank you very much.

Love it.
