Perhaps I will go frolic in it!

And yes, of course. I don't mind! Send it along and I will explain.

Sad news about your roommate, though. Are you alright?

i was thinking crop will be happy
but if CONSTANTIN happy too this is good

thank you
i send

i am

[is she alright or did she forget to finish the sentence?]

[don't dwell on that, instead look at this lovely photo of The Wicked Brotherhood, the first in the series, page thirty two...

and a colorful description of the protagonist's newfound object of interest... and his prowess.]

what is third word on fourth line?

[the word is: turgid]

[Hmm... a little suspicious, but the medium of text isn't as easy to figure out as seeing someone act evasive in person. Not even Constantin's expertise in being evasive can save him here.

But oh, yes. Turgid.]

Turgid? It's a compliment! Specifically for his generous endowment. Personally, I think it sounds a little ridiculous, but it gets the point across.

[誇張... that's so complicated why can't they use 大... er, in her eyes anyway. it's much easier to be upset about words.]

meaning is big?
fancy way to write big?

Well, somewhat? Big as in particularly impressively excited, I suppose. Firm!

I'm sure he'll make bountiful use of it in a few pages, if you take a peek.

oh this is good news
i was much worried for hero when beginning scene was old lover leaving
because of anger about stealing and sword fight
but he meet new exciting person so quick?

Edited 2021-09-02 21:41 (UTC)

I assure you it will be very exciting from now on! But I mustn't tell you what happens at the end of book one or it will spoil the adventure.

[the SEXY adventure]

The sword fights are excellent, don't you think? Very evocative. Ah, and our hero's charming squire is a delight... I do appreciate a comedic beat away from the sword fighting, every so often.

[a sexy adventure... please distract her, sexy adventure and difficult words]

is difficult!
i read so slow but want to find ending

SQUIRE is having good humor yes
i like how red hair comrade never understand the humor
and SQUIRE he say "is joke"
because then i know also for sure
is joke!

Just think of it as savoring a fine meal, but this meal is made of words.

Yes, they are delightful friends. I hope you enjoy them even more in book two! Keep me posted, yes?

[......hmm,]

And! I am readily available for anything else you might want to talk about. Unrelated to anything.

[subtle]

[there’s a bit of a pause that wasn’t present in the other… while not fast, at least steady responses.

one in which someone considers if it’s a good idea to talk in detail about someone leaving to someone who maybe doesn’t want to leave.

but.]

like disappeared room mate?

[equally subtle]

Oh, well, if you would like to, yes. Like disappeared roommate.

[gosh it's like they're on the same subtle wavelength somehow!!]

probably
THE WICKED BROTHERHOOD
is more fun conversation…
i could ask about next word
i find already

[it was a lot easier to read hard books when you could just lean over and ask the guy sitting next to you???

last chance to bail…]

Well
If you really would prefer not to talk about it, I won't press you.

[that would make him a hypocrite?? completely and totally, especially after the other day.]

The offer remains open, either way, and you needn't feel obligated to be fun. What is the next word?

truthfully
i am much sad
and lonely
but
will saying so make not so?
this time unsure

so i think i will try to read
but then hero 's lover is TURGID
and now he is

[photo says......... "twitching spasmodically"]

No, it won't. But it can be worse to let it fester.

[he learned this like two months ago... sage advice.]

That phrase is meant to evoke something similar to, hmm... Have you ever seen a fish out of water? Like that.

I confess not all of the prose is especially good in these books.

i will not become so surely
have too many work to do
and plant to care for

[connie the vet…]

fish outside water?
is strange to compare
but manhood does sometimes do this
is not good to say?

I don't think most of us can help it, sometimes.

[manhood does this...... sad but true.]

Do you think a fish out of water is particularly enticing? There are better images to evoke in this context, I should think.

but plant care is most important part
is his mother
so even if he is gone i can not neglect

[wait what]

well
no
but they did not say fish direct...
now i thinking about fish...
what word is more good?
throb?

A plant is his mother?

Throb would be better than anything happening "spasmodically," yes. It's much subtler.

yes
no?
sort of
mother turn into linden tree
by gods
he ask me to grow linden tree with green stone power
and he love
so i cannot be too sad
must care for tree

[it makes sense... right...]

maybe i no try hard to remember this character
is three full
so many strokes

[bc to her it says 散発的...]

Caring for a tree and being sad are not mutually exclusive items. I feel I should point that out. I have cared for my plants and separately been sad plenty of times.

Just imagine it says "throb," instead.

i have confidence for both
but
just can not become so sad that cannot care for tree
is good thing, yes?

[goals... just don't get That Sad...]

throb is only one character
much more easy yes

Well, it is a tree. Trees do look after themselves quite well in the forest, so I daresay you could afford to worry less about it.

Are there any other words you'd like me to help with?

is tree grown by manna and not nature
i do not know
so i give manna every day to keep healthy just in case.

but
no is fine
i think next chapter looks more easy
thank you CONSTANTIN
