Thorondor “Ian” Caladharas is the 18 year old heir to one of the first of the Merchant Houses. An intelligent, independent teenager; Ian has a tendency towards irreverence and and frustration. In all honesty, he doesn’t care what his grandfather says he is heir to, he just wants to have a normal life. Or at least as normal a one as possible. (As my skills improved I made some revamps to this characters appearance to reflect aging and such as well. The top picture is how he is currently modeled. )
This is a good spot for a break. But I hope we’ll pick up with these folks in a restaurant or something, next week.
Have Ian or Miko figured out who she really is? Does Ishara remember who Nina is? “Nina Mesky” is an admitted pseudonym and she hasn’t shared her original name.
And I’m really curious . . . how did Nina live all these years and NOT let people around her know who she was? She talks a lot (as you warned us, James), and she’s constantly running down side trails into other subjects. Is all this due to relief and nerves and FINALLY HAVING SOMEONE SHE COULD TALK TO?
She’s gone from having no hope to reacting to meeting people who are extremely powerful. She has nothing to gain by holding back information that (hopefully) makes her look good. Always better to admit to a little sin – it makes you look normal. I rather suspect she has few secrets any more.
Doh! I’ve been thinking of her as something of a recluse,in the years prior to the hurricane. After all, nobody came looking for her. But I didn’t think: there was a lot going on with the hurricane, a lot of people displaced. And when her home burned and nobody could find her, whoever was still around probably thought she died in the fire.
See? Picnic time! 🙂

Plus, she knows who Ishara was…and she knows who Miko is (Miko was operating ten years ago).

I’m waiting to see what happens when Adah’s name finally gets dropped.
