@Sayna: I would love to see something like this from you, Sayna! You always seem to put a lot of thought into your characters, and then part of it never gets into the story proper. And it wasn’t me who came up with the idea anyway, since I kind of borrowed it myself. ‘Sea Silence’ seemed to sound awkward in English, but now that I think of it, I like this variant more and more. But ‘Seabird’ is shorter and it has poetic meaning, too, so this one is good, too. :) And thanks! I suppose practice makes it perfect. As for your offer of the next characters to write about, I will think on them! If there are spoilers, I’ll just don’t write them, so don’t worry. Oh, and the offer stand for characters from all my stories, not just ‘For Freedom’ – though since it has the biggest cast, the chances of me doing another character from this story increase. ;)

@Segalia: Thanks, Segalia! Yes, characters from all my stories can get into this feature, because sometimes I plan so much for the characters that not all find its way into the plot. And it’s true that more often than not they change so much in the process that the story changes, too – they truly have a mind of their own. ;) I’m not sure if I’ll call Wavehound and Seabird brotp, they are not close enough, but they are true pals. Aye, that’s about how I imagined Wavehound and Seabird’s dream, too – they avoid talking about it with other Green Isle otters, since they don’t want to give them unfeasible hopes, but I like your idea of them sharing their thoughts in the night while the others cannot hear them. We will see how their story would end… it’s true that their situation is difficult due to how long before ‘The High Rhulain’ the story is set. Hmm, I’m not sure if I have enough material to do one for Sandor Rosehip, as he had always been a posthumous character of sorts, but I’ll think whom else I can write about.

@Heather: Thanks, I’m really glad you like my stories! And that reminds me, too, that I’ve been planning to read ‘Defenders of Redwall’, but didn’t seem to have time – but I promise I’ll read and comment!

@TheTragedyofE: Aye, I wasn’t sure of it first, but then I’ve grown fond of the idea. It was fun to compare Wavehound and Seabird, both in personality and in their looks. True, Seabird is very much a gentle giant, and speaking of Wavehound, he fits the ‘small and fierce’ stereotype more, though he isn’t actually small, just slender and sinewy. ;) I think even if I did decide to make Wavehound and Seabird a couple, this storyline would’ve been a sideplot instead of having the main focus – but as I was plotting out the story, I realized that, firstly, that wouldn’t be exactly true to their personalities, and, secondly, I would rather focus on the main plot. And it’s true that Foxglove’s storyline is the only one that focuses on the romantic love so far, and while I plan on introducing some romantic subplots later, her story is still very tragic. :( Thanks again, I plan on doing more of this!
