This has a bit more off-the-bat romance than I intended. I will fix that in the second draft. While there is romance in my fanfic, this is not a romance. Plus, I do not like romances which start in the way I have constructed – they are based purely on looks and a “strange connection.” The characters are allowed to, and should, feel a slight pull to one another, but not necessarily through romantic or infatuated feelings. Lila doesn't even understand the concept of such things, as her upbringing had a lack of love. Why would she fall in love with a “random shop boy” when she has seen dozens of other young men on her journey thus far? They don't even know each others' names or family. Therefore, I will tone-down Lila's twitterpated thoughts and instill a more healthy speed of entanglement.
