I think when I'm reading fantasy romanticism now, um,

Yeah, it's almost like the magic part.

Like if you look at like book three where Laurent is like in that prison cell and there's literally like no way he could ever get out.

If that was in like a book where there was magic, he just sort of like found a way to magic himself out.

And didn't realise that inside me all along was the power to benefit.

I think it kind of raises the stakes as well because like

Yeah, he's so smart.

And I love that whole like the contrast of him having this big massive brain where he's constantly thinking and feels things very deeply.

But he has this like very intense mask where he just, you can tell by like the slightest like twitch of like the corner of his mouth what he's like feeling.

Yes.

I don't know if that has anything to do with the question.

I just really like Laurent.

And he just clips it and he just goes from wrestles naked.

It's totally fine.

I think as the reader you kind of have, you don't have to know about it but you do, you can kind of,

figure it out quite early on.

But it does help in terms of coloring Laurent's actions and reactions to things.

I think that is helpful as a reader.

But yeah, again, it's not a surprise to the reader, it's a surprise to Damon.

Yeah, he has his own personal moral code that he lives by.
