@Silverink It is because he doesn't want his superhero life to intrude upon his normal life. I always assumed all superheroes are like this. All but the supremely powerful ones that is.
@ineffable Nothing has really happened yet. Silverinks character is having a meeting with two detectives, my character is working the bar, and Scarlet Loups character has just approached the bar to order a drink. No real story nor character development has happened just yet. In fact we're just in the middle of establishing the scene.
Have you considered the following: *What would your character be doing at the time of the scene? *How does your character feel about the one shes in a relationship with? *How does your character feel about their current circumstances? *What does your character wish to accomplish?
@TwelveOf8 Nice things to consider, thank you. My post may come a bit late as I am stuffed with stuff this week so you guys can go ahead of me while I'm plotting this out :)
