Thanks. I have to temper Ripp's sentimentality with his preoccupation with sex. That line became even more Ripp-like after I went back and elaborated on it:
"Still, he kept a condom in his pocket, just in case, waiting for that moment when he could finally become her lover. You could never be too ready, right? He could, and would, do it anytime, and in any place. She just had to say the word. If she told him she wanted to fuck him right there in the street, in front of Florence Delarosa's flower shop, he'd just smile and start taking off his clothes."
The last part amuses me, because I could so see him doing that, for real. :P
That's nice to hear you say. ^_^ I find it hard to imagine them much differently than that, though I have seen many other interesting and convincing versions of them. It's nice to see what others can bring to the them too (and as long as they're halfways sympathetic to the characters, I can enjoy all sorts of different characterizations). That's what's fun about it.
