Well, here's the first Considering... chapter. Considering Soren. He's an interesting character, but I don't write him much. I own nothing!
His dark clothes and hair made the bright sunlight shining on him look strange. He would suit the shadows more... both literal and figurative. Literal, as in the shadows of the trees and the shadows of night, and figurative as in the shadows behind greatness. He's the kind of person who everyone would see what they did, but never see them themselves. He was already a wonderful advisor and he would only get better, even though he could be a little cold-hearted at times. Something bigger lurked beneath, it was easy to see. He had a bigger heart and a bigger destiny than he appeared to.
"Why are you staring at me?" uh oh, I didn't realize he could see me looking at him. He has a very piercing gaze, that seems to make it so much easier for him to get information out of anyone, as you half-think he already knows. The kind that would suit an interrogator or an investigator, or other things with 'gator' on the end. He looks like a mind-reader.
"Um, I was considering you."
"Considering me? For what?"
"For nothing, actually. I was just considering you."
He raised an eyebrow at me. He's very good at that. Sometimes I think eyebrow-raisers all have some secret club in which they practice raising eyebrows at each other. Or maybe eyebrow-raisers are the remnants of some old eyebrow-raising race. Whatever it is, all I know is that Soren can do it, and I can't, and it's very intimidating. Oh, wait, I just missed what he said.
"What did you say?"
"I said, you are very peculiar." Peculiar. It's an interesting word, one that you never hear Greil or Ike or Titania saying. He has a more advanced vocabulary than the others. Makes you think he came from somewhere far away, somewhere sophisticated and grand, not this country place in a gentle, informal nation. It's got a bit of everything, he picks up phrases from wherever he goes and uses them in all the right places. And he's been far away to study with some other people. He doesn't say much about it, though. No matter how much Mist and Rolf beg him for stories of places he's been, he gives them a little tidbit and leaves. It only leaves them even more curious than before.
He's the kind of person that makes you curious. He never says anything to give you the least idea of what he is thinking about, and his face is unreadable. He'd be very good at poker. His lack of information annoys naturally curious people. You just want to know more about him, but he shows nothing of who he is. He's very confusing.
