Someone thought your story was OOC? No! I think you nailed both of them, especially going by the novels. I went and looked at your reviews and I do think that the one reviewer is way off about his assessment of Lina. It's not surprising for her to have some amount of claustrophobia after what she had gone through in the previous story. It's like how I wrote Lina with post-traumatic stress disorder in "Darkstar" based off of the events with Hellmast Phibrizzo. If anything, you've showed that Lina is extremely human and how she hates to be reminded of it.

The extreme stubbornness on both ends is rooted into the novels and Gourry's behavior toward Lina reminds me of the fourth novel when he told her to give up the Saillune assignment before she's killed. I have a feeling that from the way he acted in the sixth novel that Gourry was really close to doing the same thing and was biting his tongue - a LOT. I see what happened with them as a natural progression of their relationship since there's now some intimacy involved there.

And yeah, I'm kind of known for my own jellyfish moments. :) And don't worry, I fight with plotbunnies on a regular basis. ;)
