waddict! You have no idea how much this made my day. After three days of jury duty, and then finally getting sent home to find out that my computer was stone dead, rushing out to buy a new one, and staying up too late to try and get myself to a state of functionality on the new computer, this was exactly what I needed this morning. One of your wonderful reviews. I'm glad you're enjoying this and honestly, I never got the need to fight the lizardmen all the damned time, either. West Harbor coexisted all this time with the clans, and there was no reason for anyone to barrel in there and be aggressive, in my opinion. I'm glad that worked!
And yes, Tae has a temper, and Sand lives up to his name sometimes. Going by game canon, she should be about 18 when she reaches Neverwinter, but she's still vastly younger than Sand, and he loves to play games. It's inevitable that they will butt heads, since anyone that can survive being raised by Daeghun is not a doormat and Sand is used to Duncan, who's like shooting fish in a barrel. Tae is attracted to Sand, but that doesn't mean she'll take shit.
And Agent Smith meets Elrond, I know! I really would love to have been sharing a Thermos with the artist who did Sand.
