Exile Chapter 32 Draft 4

done with the fourth draft of Exile chapter 32 and it can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.

Just minor changes here to clear up confusing language, and a bit more of Mal's developing feelings for Silmera, as well as his confusion over which girl in his life he should be with, the one everyone expects him to be with, or the one he actually loves. He's really in a sort of bind here, he's basically being forced to marry a girl he doesn't love because it was his father's dying wish, and it's what everyone has always expected of him, while he loves someone else who, thus far, appears not to even know he exists as a man. I imagine that would be a very frustrating position to find oneself in. And, this bit was added in here in now because, as George Lucas has proven rather well, you can't put two characters of opposing gender together and then just magically say they're in love at the end. You have to show emotions, empathize with each other, learn intimate details about themselves and each other, and go through things to test and nurture their relationship until they find they can't live without each other and would do anything to be together. Putting two young, good looking people together and having them fall in love because the script says so at the end is not the way to go about it. Good job George, way to ruin what could have been some really awesome movies.
