Weird thing is, guys can be like this — friendly with each other, then fighting, and then friends again.  Tensions arise but are dealt with quickly.  Holding a long term grudge — as I suspect Tiergan might be, if he ever gets the chance to act on it — is something that happens when you’re intelligent and ambitious, but it doesn’t change the day to day dynamic.

I do like how you capture that dynamic between Tiergan and Faolan.  I may come to understand part of it, at least!

Just not today.  :-)
