pittwitch:
Thank you! I'm really glad these two can transcend the game setting. It means I'm doing something right!
Fairy Slayer:
As my favorite paladin keeps telling me, good will always triumph, right? And I'm glad the character growth is working as well. I'm sometimes on shaky ground there, so this is good to hear!
Long term is a relative thing for these two. Surviving the Joining means they have about 30 years to live, before they succumb to the taint themselves. Their mastery of it is a temporary thing. But Wraith would be quite happy to spend those 30 years with Alistair, if fate (and an evil author-type wench) permits.
