Thoughts on Nerilka

Listen, Nerilka is a canon bisexual.

"... Suriana, my dearest friend, who had been effortlessly all that I was not and who had shared the wealth of her friendship unstintingly with me. Alessan could not have grieved more than I for her death, for that event had taken from my life the one life I had valued above my own. To say that part of me had died with Suriana was no exaggeration. We had understood each other as effortlessly as if we had been dragon and rider, would often laugh as one, uttered the observation the other had been about to make, could instantly fathom each other's mood, and shared the same cycle to the minute no matter what distance separated us.

In those happy Turns at Misty Hold, I had even managed to appear prettier in a contentment reflecting Suriana's vividness. Certainly I was braver in her company, ...Suriana had other attainments, too. She had the sweetest light soprano to which my alto was always in tune. ... She could sketch a scene in bold sure strokes; her embroidery was so finely stitched ..."

...

"I could no longer deny to myself that Alessan had always been important to me from the moment he had married my dear Suriana,...Now he was vital to my heart and soul in a way that I never could have anticipated in the wildest flight of fancy"

Happy Pride Month.
