"Oh come on!" Sharlin said as she reloaded her revolver, used casings hitting the floor with a tink. "The adrenaline? The excitement??? The satisfying feeling of doing something impactful????? It's wonderful!!"
-
"Everybody always runs off before proper introductions," July grumbled as he munched on the bread. "I don't even know eastern-lady's name."
-
Sharlin was covered in blood, rifle in hand, a bright smile on her face. "Alright!" She shouted orders at a few squads to her right, who raced forward pushing through the chaos. "Isn't this so much fun?"
-
"We're not as injured," Sharp called after stabbing a peacemaker and shoving him aside as he fell. "We can't risk you collapsing--get out yourself!" He continued to pull Dougella through the fight--pushing further down the tunnel.
-
"Want some?" He pushed the basket of bread and tray of butter towards her. "The owner gave it to me, Robert I think. You can order yourself, I'm sure."
-
July nodded. "Alright, glad to have a plan."
-
IKR??? It's actually so good. Not really meant to be a love story though, which is why I don't count it as a romance.

I know I just made an SU but
Is it called jaywalking because of The Great Gatsby????!!!!!
-
Oof I get that. I enjoy English classes, but sometimes the choice of material can be weird--especially if it's not a classic. I don't believe I've ever read romance for a class (discounting Shakespeare and The Great Gatsby).
-
" . . . if he bought her," July added cynically. "Maybe you see if there's any local gossip we should know?" He shrugged. "If we both poke around in different spots we'll find something."

when the teacher has you take a pretest of the actual exam for the end of the class, but you pass it first try . . .
Why am I even here, honestly. Why didn't my councilor let me have a free period instead??

"My training starts at noon, I'll try and small talk with the owner. He wants me to handle his finances, so I should be able to snoop through the businesses transactions."

Welcome to the Shard!! I believe the question is meant to ask for your opinion on the ethics of Hemalurgy (For example, do you think it should be used? Or do you think it's a strictly bad thing?). But I could be wrong. What's your least favorite book of all time? Aw , I love Elhokar though . . . we were robbed of his redemption arc honestly (but in a good way, I love brandersons writing).

"Alright, thanks." He ate it slowly, still watching the other employees work.
-
"Sure, I don't care what." He said. "What time exactly do you want to start?"

Sharp rushed through the gate, grabbing Dougella's hand as he ran. He had to make sure they both got out of this. ( @Scars of Hathsin) They pushed through peacemakers as the moved forward. His knife was slick with blood, and it was getting difficult to hold on to.

"Oh, and I'm Aki," He told the man in the weird armour, not remembering if he'd ever introduced himself to him before.

July was already up, and waiting in the common room. His job wouldn't start till the afternoon, and there was little to do till them. To pass the time, he was settled at one of the front tables, where he could get a good view of the bar, and the employees while they worked. He doubted he'd over hear something important, but maybe he could learn something from their actions. Soon Robert would get July, and show him where he was meant to help with records. If luck was on his side, that was his chance to snoop and ask questions. July noted the lady from last night entering. Hopefully she wouldn't cause a ruckus like last night.
-
"Well that's handy," Aki said glancing at his knife. He re-sheathed his sword, and raised his lantern to look further down the tunnel. "I hope there's not more of them."

Writing hot take:
The 'stubborn' character personality is extremely over-used, and it's often not used correctly. Some times it is, but often I don't notice that the character is meant to be stubborn because it's blended so seamlessly in with who they are and why they would act that way.
Mostly because 'being stubborn' can be seen as a flaw, so writers give it to their characters to make them seem less perfect on a check-list level (or, alternatively they use it as a positive attribute, but never explore that attribute in it's extreme that would lead to real character flaws). Then, they proceed to never give their character any real consequences for stubborn actions.
Instead, our little headstrong YA girly just manages to have such a perfect streak of luck in the way his/her actions affect others that he/she miraculously is always right, and always comes out on top.
Or maybe I'm just having a hard time relating because I'm a very passive person.
Who knows.

no, i think you’re right. there are a lot of “stubborn” characters out there who always end up coming out on top, and that trope has gotten so old to me lol. so i’ve included a couple “stubborn” characters in my own novels, and sometimes they’re in the right, but most of the time they end up hurting someone around them or just being downright wrong.

Yeah, only store bought ones.

"Of course I'm staying, I work here." July sighed as he watched her go. He'd certainly found something to do with himself, and that was the goal. Suddenly feeling exhausted, he want to his own room. Locking the door and turning in himself.
