Greetings Lance,

Here's a bit of an odd question, I've been trying to answer. I'm at the mid point of Chapter 29 and I'm trying to figure out how long a Lilim (or other Mamono I suppose) would wait before making a move on someone they liked.

I'm still working on that idea for the time jumps showing off several quick events in Nick and Vellantha's early adventures to get to the heart of the story. I'm trying to figure out how long a period I can do those quick adventures over before feelings really get involved.

The issue is since they're both Immortals and a few centuries are just blips to them in the larger scheme of things I'm having trouble balancing Mamono instincts and over such a time span. (By the by Chapter 29 takes place over two hundred years. Or at least that's the plan.)

So the question really is: How long a period can I have these two as best friends before they really start to develop into more than that? Decades? Centuries? Millennia?

I realize as the author I'm the only one who cares about such tiny wee details but it's stuck in my head at this point. And since I can't seem to come up with a satisfactory answer I figured I'd ask someone else. So any thoughts you may have would be most appreciated.

Cheers,

The Weary TimeLord.
