my baiting was so subtle, wasn't it? ROFL. lena might work there, maybe. i like old school victorian sherlockian....not futuristic remakes. but thats just me.
on the other hand, nemo is addictive enough to be tossed into the mix just enough to drive Holmes nuts. he'd be a bit too close to Holmes's own addictions for Holmes to want to 'bond' with him, I think. hahahaha.
or--nemo could find himself unwillingly somehow shoved into the role of Holmes himself. that actually did pass through my twisted brain cells. the other thing is that i would love nemo to get a wee taste of how violent and dangerous khaat's life often suddenly becomes and why robert has elected to hire her bodyguards so frequently. it might add another dimension to them if he has to suddenly 'serious-up' for some reason.
as for robert being unconventional, remember who his best buddy is--michael tremaine. and think of it this way, khaat had to get her love for the unconventional somewhere.
as for lena, i would love for khaat to have an adventuring buddy. someone interested in perhaps investigation, mystery solving, or just to be herself around without being kneedeep in bodyguards. women who can stand up for themselves. but...i don't have a firm plot idea yet. just sort of a semi-direction.
are we anywhere close to the same page?
