Yep, for me what they'd do and what they'd say are pretty much knotted up. I need to understand his brain before I can open a character's mouth. Where is he coming from, and where does he think he's going?
And Vecchio - in spite of my OTP being F/K, I have to love the guy. He's got that lovely wry, sense of humor. Kinda sardonic. Plus, back when I was a kid one of my best friends was an Italian girl from New York. Lived in a small house with about a hundred relatives. OMG the volume level in that house - but you always knew exactly where you stood with them.
Fraser on the other hand, he keeps things to himself, then he's vexed when you don't get it. I have a hard time writing that, because by nature I'm more like the Rays, so Fraser's behavior often makes no sense to me at first, and my train of thought kind of grinds to a halt while I disassemble his motivation. Grrr! Love the Mountie, but I totally get why Kowalski sometimes wants to pop the guy.
Sorry, I'm babbling... ack. Due South is a whole new field of exploration for me, and I get sort of over-excited discussing it. Heh.
