To start off, ohmiGod, Pyrae, I love you so much. Yeah, my birthday was in April, but it was a lovely present anyway. "Lovely" doesn't do it justice, does it? Um. It was better than "Soul Music." Which is my second favorite book ever.
You're going to have to wait on being number one until the thing's finished, I'm afraid.
Anyway, I've just realized how completely sadistic I am in my writing. For the first seven and a half chapters of the Trilogy, everyone has been begging me to "make Nick more important." As if the fact that he's the grandson of the most important person in the history of the world wasn't importance enough.
Well, they're going to get their wish.
From about this point on in the Trilogy, Nick will constantly be either "dying" or going slowly insane. Often both.
And you said he wasn't important, Lyra. Shame on you.
This is, admittedly, probably mainly so we can have all the adorable Elliott/Nicholas parts. Similar to the Jack/Daniel in "Lockdown," except that, you know, Nick doesn't quite have the calm references down yet.
So really, it's more like:
Nick: You [shot] me!
Elliott: ...no I didn't.
Nick: You totally did!
Elliott: ...did not.
Seth: We all saw you.
Elliott: ...I hate you.
Nick: You [SHOT] me!
(I like keeping secrets. Can you tell?)
