I'm just sad for Kaveri. He wanted Khaol to learn to live without him but at that point I think Khaol should just... Either try to atone for what he's done and forgive himself while cherishing those memories, or die trying and finally be reunited with him. These are the only valid options I see for them.
Also I don't think he's trying to win River back. He's trying to protect him. I think it's rather selfless, and that would make some great character development.
"Same glint of crazy in your eyes" and "yes, you'd do it again". Many nice parallels and understanding between Heil and Khaol there. I don't think the comic will take that road (it's too... happy to end badly), but I wonder how Heil would react in the exact same shoes. Uh.
I also really like Khaol as a character. He's well fleshed, unredemptive and yet feeling very guilty, very contradictory and complex. As a person, I absolutely wouldn't, and I wouldn't caution anything he does but as a character ? Goddamn interesting. Love it.
Yes, khaol character felt real and realistic and thats why my hatred for him is real as well. I love that he can make me feel that way, even though he is fictional.
