I think there should little of the anthropomorphizing for the rest of this chapter.  Not planning a lot more pain for Tiergan, for a while. 

He threatened me, I promised him.  You know how it is.  ;-)

Ideal for me would have been the initial “friends” line, then the followup “it’s not friendly any more” (slight misquotes) and then nothing more for a while.  Not to beat a dead horse, just trying to clarify.

I should note that there’s one exception to my seasoning crack—cranberry relish. As far as I’m concerned, that IS a side dish.

 . . . I think I was confused once as a kid and gave myself a couple scoops since it had a consistency like applesauce. Turns out I liked the sour taste, and since then it’s been a family joke.

For me, it’s a great device but it’s seasoning, not a side dish :)

I really liked getting more insight into how changing works and the perils of changing while hurt. I envy his kinesthetic awareness in a big way.

So, well done, I guess. twitch
