Never mind, I'm going to take it for granted you mean in THE MAN WHO. It gives me the chance to say how much I love Brew. No matter how badly he is handling life, even when he wants to die (THE MAN WHO TRIED TO GET AWAY), he can always be recalled to life by the need to rescue someone.

THE MAN WHO FOUGHT ALONE is a strong contender for my favorite SRD book, partly because of the personality changes Brew goes through in it. We get to see that the basic Brew, before he was messed up, is a very good guy indeed. When he gets an inkling of what is going on inside martial arts thinking, some wonderful things start to happen.

I have my doubts about Brew's lady in FOUGHT, because they have so little in common, but no doubts at all that Brew deserves a good romance. Unlike the way he is in everyday life, in romance he's chivalrous, protective, honest, ardent, understanding to an acute degree, and he has some delightful quirks.

We've never seen SRD write seductive before FOUGHT.
Trying not to hyperventilate, I sifted through the crowd toward her.
"I wondered how much longer I'd survive without seeing you again."
Deborah Messenger had said 6:30, so I didn't start watching the doors until 5:15. And I didn't actually hold my breath until a little before six.
In a fog of enchantment, as it were, I evaporated from the dais and condensed beside her.
Irresistible. :)
