Alle Kunst ist der Freude gewidmet

Aah I hope you'll feel better! orz If the psychiatrist is making you uncomfortable, it definitely seems like a good idea to find somebody else.

This is an interesting post, and I've given this a bit of thought before, too - in general, I think I prefer characters who care more for actual people than countries, which is partly because patriotism can be a little hard for me to relate to (with some exceptions). More personal motivations tend to make characters feel more interesting to me, I suppose. :)

(And um, personally, I think Geoffrey would choose Elincia over Crimea and... pretty much everything else. But I guess this opinion is mostly based on how he mentions seeing no point in living without her in one of his death quotes?)
