I LOOOVE your takes on all three characters. Crowley is always so funny and lovable, the perfect pathetic comic relief (which isn't to say you don't also do great work when it's time for his serious emotions!). Nina is so lovable, and it's surprised me how delightfully compatible she and Binghe are—it's easy for Binghe to like any woman who's kind to him (like Tress), but the way he and Nina understand each other's dark sides feels like a natural pretext for a friendship. And of course Aornis is so scary. It's hard to write a character who schemes (ask me how I know), so your work with her has been really impressive! Also, you always do such a good job executing our chaotic ideas for open posts.
