Charlotte: Soc we need to do something about your sense of humour.
Socrates: You saying you don't find me entertaining?
Charlotte: I find you very entertaining - but you are not the most outright funny guys. I think the story would work better if you could become funnier.
Socrates: You already got me going funny in the head. I think this is really unfair of you to expect me to fundamentally change my character. It is only a story you know.
Charlotte: I know that Soc, but I think because of how dark and difficult the book is proving we either need to lighten the mood somehow or I will have to switch to third person. We are already having to consider placing it in past tense.
Socrates: I don't wanna be told in third person - Angus got first person it just plain wouldn't be fair/
Charlotte: That's how I feel Soc - I don't want to change it. I am considering making you the Abbot's straight man?
Socrates: Your giving the Abbot a bigger part?
Charlotte: Thinking about it, I think you need a better support system in place than just Angus.
Socrates: That already makes me feel better Charlotte you know I have been worried about the journey ahead.
Charlotte: Ready to go read the riot act to Angus and Jack?
Socrates: Too bloody right had the pair of them up to the neck.
Charlotte: OK we'll work this out I promise to do everything I can to tell your story first person if you work with me deal?
Socrates: Deal - do I get an extra time with Nate for this?
Charlotte: If I have time.
