//// I am doing this for safekeeping. We never know when things could disappear. I want to be able to come back to his words.
(Modern) Baahal:
That firecracker! Modern Jaime and Baahal are pure, liquid fire! I had to say a little something about this, because I just had to say how much fun it is getting to explore these two characters and imagine them without so much of the trauma that comes from the regular verse. (Don’t get me wrong though! I love the angst that comes along with our regular verse babies.)
But getting to see them let loose, oh I love that too. Jaime is impulsive in any verse, and in the modern setting he really does get to just go for Baahal, without having to worry about being put to death for it. And Baahal can do the same.
She is SUCH a TEASE though! Always sending him pictures, showing Jaime what he is missing out on, making him want to be with her instead of wherever he is. Jaime loves it. He loves how uninhibited she is. He loves the way that she teases him, the way that she wants him.
Playing these two in modern verse is just so free, and so fun. I love that we decided to do it.
You asked me once, if I could only keep one character, who would I keep. And I think I surprised both of us when I settled on Jaime. But I think together, between modern and regular verse, Jaime and Baahal just have so much of what I love about all our characters and our stories. The free sexiness of the modern verse. The angst and hardships and complexity of the regular verse. And underneath it all, genuine connection and understanding.
