I slipped the picture back where I had found it. Then I realized something: That last thought had brought no sting with it. Closing Sohrab's door, I wondered if that was how forgiveness budded, not with the fanfare of epiphany, but with pain gathering its things, packing up, and slipping away unannounced in the middle of the night.

I've just finished aforementioned book, and GOOD LORD (nevermind I'm not exactly the religious type) I needed to draw a smile. Badly. So... this. Which is really very much of a sketch.

At first, the image I'd thought of was a Lily, holding a hat to her head with both hands and laughing at the camera. Then... I chose Peter. Mostly because, as I said, Amir reminds me strongly of the idea I have of him. And then... well, I don't think I'll surprise anyone if I say that I strongly disagree from the fandom's take on Peter. It's the very definition of "easy way out". Reality... is pretty much more complex than that.

No worries, I won't start ranting or anything like that.
