    Apparently they're allowed a bit more leeway than is generally thought:

    Not my main character, but my favourite one I've come up with for a while, that summarises his character perfectly:

    “Be aware that this is the one and only opportunity I give you. Perhaps my interrogators should send you on your way to Xolox’s endless sands, and you can meet the men there who will tell you — rather belatedly — that I don’t give second chances."

    Merlin-(humourously)"If everyone could be kings then we'd have King Farmer of the Farmland on the North Road, and King Miller of the Mill at the End of The Creek and by the end of it there wouldn't be a Briton there would just be lots of tiny kingdoms. (Suddenly serious) And everyone would stay just as they are... People don't like change, do they?"

    "Out there, between the darkest of night and the start of dawn, the world's split in two. Between a fork in the road and when spring Becomes summer– That is how you reach Otherworld. When you…"

    "Oh please, save the dramatic speech. You're a bloke with A set of antlers – I think you can safely say we believe you come from some Other place," Rowan interjected.

    Rob: Um, you're not some kind of serial killer axe murderer type, are you?

    Elizabeth: No, I'm a vampire. Don't worry, I'm not going to bite you.

    (It's funnier when you know that Rob has no idea vampires exist, and Elizabeth knows this.)

    I could explain this but I'm not going to.

    Aww shucks. :supersmile:
    It's from a idea I have involving a retelling and expansion of Arthurian legend. Partially based on reviving forgotten traditional aspects of it(e.g. Merlin is half demon) but also add in my own ideas including some historical context.

    "They're freedom fighters," Carmen replied. "You have to admit, there's a certain romanticism to it."

    Raimo was unimpressed. "Heart breakers, bomb makers, life takers."

    From a short story of mine entitled 'Children in the Attic:"

    "We all have secrets," he said softly, and seemed to diminish even further. The light flickered and a candle burned out. I could see the tears now; two glistening tracks down his pallid cheeks catching the last of the light. "It doesn't mean we're bad people."

    "But I like Rem."

    "And I love Fae. So then tell me why are we here, alone, hiding in a dark room, whispering?"
