☤ :Is there anything about their health they are continuously on edge about? Something they disregard?
-o-
Traveling itself is pretty stressful, especially when you’re alone. (A talking motorcycle can’t really help you out of trouble.) There’s always that element of unpredictability and danger lurking around the corner, and Kino’s had a couple of close calls during her adventures.
Riding on a motorcycle for hours doesn’t help her posture either, even if she takes regular breaks. And her face’s not going to thank her for all those days spent in blazing sunlight/dusty sandstorms/icy blizzards/etc.
That aside, Kino is aware of all this and knows how to take care of herself. Personally, she feels that the merits of traveling far outweighs its downsides. She keeps her body fit and her mind calm so she can resolve problems with a clear mind. That helps a lot. Still–
–she does tend to suppress her feelings, or bury them entirely when it’s inconvenient. After all, a smart traveler packs light, and emotional baggage can really drag a person down. On a fundamental level, Kino’s way of forming attachments with people and places, but she’s also kindhearted and caring, which sometimes creates internal conflicts. It’s probably not healthy for her in the long run.
♎ - What is one thing you love about your writing?
i.... well, i think my writing style is pretty solid. easy to follow and not purple prose-y but not dry most of the time. i don’t feel a need to make it look pretty with formatting, it just is what it is. some words arranged in a fashion that tells a story. some days i wonder how i could improve it, or get jealous of other people’s prettier writing, other days i write a sentence and have to just sit there in awe for a while. also i like the subtle differences in tone i can create through sentence structures and word choices, an important aesthetic i’m still trying to figure out
“An interesting choice of weapon, traditional, yet not primitive. I have seen pictures of swords that the humans on my crew cared to show me, but your seems different. What is it made of?”
