1.
How did they first meet?
Aedon was the first person Kate met in Aralan. She’d
been told that she was being called to another world, but hadn’t been told how
or when . . . and, unfortunately for her, the portal landed her not in the city
but in the woods outside the city. Thankfully, Aedon happened to be nearby,
found her, and guided her to the city.
2.
What were their first impressions of each other?
Aedon thought Kate was rather adorable, if kind of
odd. Kate, for her part, was kind of in awe but mostly just happy to have been
found by someone very nice.
3.
How long have they been a couple?
Officially? Less than a year. Unofficially? About
two years, give or take a month or two.
4.
How committed/loyal are they to each other? Would they break up over a secret
or a disagreement? Could stress drive them apart? Would they die for each
other?
Kate and Aedon are highly committed to each other.
There’s not much that could possibly drive them apart- they have their disagreements,
but they’ll do their best to work things out once they’ve cooled down. When
they’re in danger, though, any arguments are forgotten- they’re fighting side
by side, watching each other’s backs, and, yes, if necessary they’d willingly
die for each other. (Except they’d probably argue over who was going to die for
whom . . . most of their disagreements stem from the fact that they’re highly
protective of each other and of their families.)
5.
List 5 “food quirks” they know about each other. (Ex: how they take their
coffee, if they’re allergic to something, etc….and feel free to mention other
non-food quirks!)
-Kate loves pie of all kinds- she’s a little
notorious for it- but only Aedon knows that her favorite type is
strawberry-rhubarb.
-Not a food quirk, but: Kate always dreamed of being
a princess/lady in a fantasy world . . . which Aedon found out, and that’s why
he started calling her “Lady Kate.”
-Aedon drinks coffee. Kate
drinks tea. No, they don’t fight over it.
-Aedon had never had peanut butter before the events
of Between Two Worlds. Now Kate has a
stash imported from Earth, which he ‘raids’ on occasion. (She knows about it,
and gave him permission to do so.)
-Not sure if it’s a quirk, exactly, but Aedon is a surprisingly good cook, at least in
the field.
6.
Does anyone disapprove of their relationship?
‘Disapprove’ is a strong word, but Aedon’s family
has discouraged it. Traditionally, people live their lives in the world where
they’re born. They may visit another world temporarily, but they won’t stay
there. So, while Aedon’s family loves Kate, they weren’t thrilled when the two
fell in love.
7.
What would be an ideal date?
Something exciting, but not seriously dangerous. Exploring,
a mini-quest, something like that. Followed up, naturally, by a stop at their
favorite bakery for pie.
8.
What are their personality dynamics? Similar? Contrasting? Do they fight a lot
or mesh perfectly?
Kate and Aedon are pretty similar in several ways.
They’re both protectors by nature- not only in the way that I mentioned in #4,
but in the sense that they both plan to spend their lives protecting Aralan as
a whole from evil. Kate is a bit more fiery than Aedon, and also more prone to
snap decisions, while Aedon is more thoughtful, so they complement each other
in that respect. They’re also both on the stubborn side . . . but they work it
out.
9.
What have been their best and worst moments together as a couple?
Their worst moment (well, rather more than a moment)
as a couple was after the war in Aralan was over, but before Kate returned to
Earth. Kate was basically pushing everyone away because she was feeling broken
and guilty and was just in a really, really
dark place. And she pushed Aedon away most of all because she felt like she
didn’t even deserve to see him. And
she may or may not have disappeared for a little while.
Their best moment is connected to that worst moment.
After a while, Aedon and Jarek agreed that they were fine with giving Kate
space but they couldn’t just stand by and do nothing and they were worried
about what might happen if someone didn’t intervene. So they found her, but
Jarek let Aedon handle actually talking to her (because Jarek’s the tough-love
sort and that was not what Kate
needed at that point). And Aedon alternately talked to her and prayed over her
for a while, until she finally started responding, and long story short, he
helped her get on the path to healing.
10.
Where do they see themselves and their relationship in the next few years?
They’ll court for a while, until the standards of
both families and Society have been met; then they’ll get married. In the
meantime, they both fully intend to keep having adventures.
I hope you all enjoyed hearing about Kate and Aedon. Many thanks to Cait Grace for hosting this event, and thanks to all of you for reading!
Happy Valentine's Day!
