    I see; I wasn't aware of that. I don't currently own a copy of the book.

    Yeah, Elan & Nale is much deeper, easy choice.

    EDIT: Also, looking at the bracket, I'd suggest using competitions at once, it'll go by quicker that way and also make sure that the ones with less opinions get voted on along with the ones that include popular/unpopular pairings.

    EDIT 2.0: While Kudzu and Durkon are just adorable, I think that Haley and Bandana have the getting dialogue thing as an advantage.

    Elan versus Nale, for sure

    I want to say I appreciate the father with his little scamp, but Durkon and Kudzu haven't actually interacted much quite yet. Bandanna and Haley is more fun.

    I'll have to bow out of the first one.

    Bandana just hasn't clicked for me as a character, including her interactions with Haley, so Durkon and Kudzu win practically by default. And Kudzu is cute.

    Elan & Nale, no contest.

    Bandana & Haley was always fun, and I think I appreciate it more now after being able to re-read book 6 all the way through. Although that might just the fact that I like Bandana as a character a lot, anyway.

    Elan & Sir Francois and Durkon & Kudzu.

    Wow, looks like I'm kind of the odd one out here. I just hated virtually every scene with Nale and Thog by default (except Nale's last scene, heh heh), so Sir Francois just gets the obvious win. And Bandana and Haley just don't seem to have that interesting of a friendship...

    Hmm, I'd say I'd have to go with Elan and Nale (easy) and Durkon and Kudzu (less easy).

    I recommend editing the OP to show the current round. Otherwise people are going to keep making this mistake.

    33: Haley and Celia, because we got to actually see it, and Tarquin and Elan's Mom don't seem to be too interesting.

    16: Soon and Girard, their story is very interesting, and we'll probably see it fleshed out more before the story ends while Haley and Hank is just a small bit of fleshing out the characters.

    Tarquin and Elan's mother was actually sweet in terms of the prospects of it. Girard and Soon seems like it was core to this setting, for reasons we do not yet full understand. These are called "Explosive Runes on steroids".

    Haley and Celia were an interesting contrast, and that part of the story with their dynamic with Belkar was a lot of fun. Also, Soon and Girard.
