You guys, I am SO sorry!!! My internet konked out again - this time for good, I think. So I have to use my dad's office computer, which, as he is on there almost all the time, means my internet access is extremely limited. I will post as often as possible.
Alak ~ I'm going to edit my last post to include a flashback of May and Adelard, and then post like crazy as often as I can. I wanted for both May and Addy to slowly change, and maybe - just maybe - come to like each other.
I didn't realize how limited our time is.
So here's what's going on: if you don't mind, I will do the May-Adelard interaction almost entirely by myself, in flashbacks from May's perspective. You can illustrate Addy's character changes by the way he interacts with May and the other characters. Since time will be moving forward faster than usual, we're going to have to make this pretty drastic.
Another thing - I still have to resolve the conflict between May and her parents. And I'll finally be ready to talk to Fordo. And stop hating the Whitfoots.
Be ready to be flooded with tears, everyone.

I hope this works.
