So then let's start looking into relationships.<br/><br/>We decided that Elyse and Amelia are friends, but let's look deeper into that.  Was Elyse around when Amelia's father died? Maybe she was there for her in her time of need.  Hell, maybe Elyse could be one of the only people that Amelia actually<em>owes</em>a favor to, rather than the other way around.<br/><br/>As for Bren.  What do you think about her being in Amelia's debt?  She's young, so I can see Amelia doing her usual round of, 'listen to sob story, help: in exchange for a boon'.  Maybe Bren begrudges her for taking advantage?<br/><br/>These are just thought. Nothing is better than thought bouncing.  ^^
