Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters
I'm sorry I am late everyone! Got locked out of BlueSky all afternoon! 😭
As I impatiently waited to return, the questions became:
Is your character patient? How do they handle delays and waits?

![Tok nodded without looking at her. It gave him no satisfaction that she was the third person to dissuade him from worrying about what could have been, but the message had finally been received. Perhaps it was because she was the last person that he expected to be so understanding about it. Plopping down next to Otalia, Tok leaned back and braced himself with
his arms behind his back.
“I don’t want to lose.”
“Unfortunately, that isn’t really up to you though... is it?”
“Not. At. All.”
“Well, I hope that you feel better. You have a duel to prepare for.”
Tokonus sat up quickly, his body growing tense with realization. In only a few hours he was meant to face [REDACTED] in battle. He needed to renew his focus and shore up his feelings. His opponents would not offer him sympathy, and he could not allow himself to be defeated.
“Perhaps this is one I need... maybe hitting someone will be the remedy I require."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7ylq7jmzau5nqdxvb44orrte/bafkreiddzsi5l6h34ks6up7b2wq3kon4m6kjddoqrzgmtqzuoosbpvnofi)
![“You are a grade A, champion meddler.”
“How dare you? I love you! Is it meddling to love?”
“Bon!”
“No, I’m serious! Someone who cares about you isn’t going to just sit around and watch you waste away, now are they? So just accept it. Meddling is an essential component of love. You can’t win a race without kicking up gravel, and I cannot love my best friend without interfering in her life, just a little bit!”
“Well, you know what, in the love-cathlon, you are absolutely dominating the meddling event. I’d say, you’re nigh uncatchable!”
A pause. “So, like, I’d medal in meddling?”
“Not now, Bon!”
Melody exhaled a long, shaky breath and attempted to gather her wits about her.
“Bonnie,” she said, lowering her voice. She spoke through gritted teeth. “You signed me up…to have my [REDACTED]…by—a—fucking—[REDACTED]!”
“That’s not exactly how I’d—”
“This is far beyond meddling, Bonnie! It’s disturbing. It’s unethical! You [REDACTED], pretending [REDACTED], and [REDACTED] my [REDACTED], and—”
“I was afraid you were going to disappear!”
Bonnie’s voice pitched high. Melody went quiet.
“Don’t you remember?” Bonnie demanded in a scared, angry hush. “Don’t you remember how I found you that night?”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bibamloprapxoygecr376yus/bafkreid7dfkwrwol4tekzhloeoaz4froeff6iusi4o4iya36xyyxhzvfay)
![“[REDACTED] came to me, a bottle of wine in one hand and a handkerchief of tears in the other. He was frightened when he told me the truth. I’m sure you have witnessed how dramatic he can be, but as he sat there, slumped over and sniveling, I believed him. He grasped onto my dress and whimpered like a beaten dog – ‘promise you won’t tell’.” Otalia flopped down on Tokonus plush bed and crossed her arms. “And of course I helped him. Capturing the [REDACTED] wasn’t as difficult as one might have imagined. He had the gall to believe he would still be paid for his services. My eyes were the last pair he’d ever seen before the light was stolen from his.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7ylq7jmzau5nqdxvb44orrte/bafkreiewqzkax6gyonw6vom4yn2ukwbz6eyj2wknrwmsbz7f5wpylspnnq)
