btw. i've settled on emmeline and james' dynamic:

james, a romantic: i'm so in love with lily

emmeline: she punched me yesterday. this her blood on my shirt.

james: um. what?

emmeline, annoyed: you don't deserve her

james, pissed off: alright, em. say what you really think, huh?

emmeline, staring at him: you're going to die in the war. you have too many attachments

james: hang on-

emmeline: a soldier with emotional attachments creates distractions and a lack of loyalty to the cause. that's going to be your downfall
