Dropping in for a quick comment to say that I read Chapter 3!
I found the depth added to Travis really interesting - he isn't ignorant of how his tough-talking comes off as posturing, but rather is painfully aware of it. The battle also felt genuinely perilous to me, possibly something to do with the mention of Wyvern's blood pumping under his thin exoskeleton making him seem so frail, and Derek coming in at the last second was a real relief. Of course, Wyvern is now locked in a weird ball and Travis is not taking it well. See my sadwott react.
I hope to get to Chapter 4 soon!
