Costis & Eugenides

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

Indiana girls, MWT is signing books in Dayton on Thursday. Sounds like a road trip!

Here is a new question for you. What do you think Eugenides thought of Costis? I got the impression that he really liked him, and admired him for his loyalty, ethics, and dependability. But, Gen was bound to be angry at the way Costis humiliated him in front of everyone in Attolia who knew Costis had punched him. That was one time in the book I wished I had more insight into Eugenides' feelings rather than seeing everything through Costis' eyes. And what was with him writing the notes for Costis?

Did Eugenides have everything planned ahead of time with Costis, or did he lose his temper and provoke Costis, then use Costis' actions to suit his plans?

:D Perhaps your idea of a backup person was better. I hope you manage to find one.

LOL I need a Costis!

Of course! I'm growing to love Costis as I re-read. I'm currently of the opinion that everyone needs an obstinate Costis with a ridiculous and admirable sense of honour. Can you imagine Costis translating for you to MWT? And then hissing in your ear 'Why can't you act like a real fan?' :D

LMAO!

And then, naturally, losing the gibberish and proving that I can, in fact, speak coherently and was only acting stupid :D

*laughs*

That would be fantastic to watch. Just because. Poor Costis. :D But then again, Gen always has a convoluted plot hiding behind his facade of stupidity, so you'd need one of those. Conspiring, perhaps, to steal MWT's pen and sell it on ebay?

Actually, this does give me a fantasic idea. And I know the perfect Costis-esque victim to drag along.

Then I wish you the best of luck with that. :)
