well this idea grabbed me around lunch time and would not let me go until i put something down. you've seen a bunch of lovey-dovy characters and people striving to overcome their personal differences. but these two outright HATE each other. when they first met Del-Nala attacks Marcus because she thinks he is following her. Marcus fights back and the two are dead evenly matched. they both have the same kind of personality traits, angry, greedy, mean selfish and un-trusting. they try hard to stay away (or kill) each other but circumstances always push them back together.

were as most of my stories have span no more that a few years these two go for forty years. Yep, one chance meeting and they are stuck with each other for the rest of their lives.

and yes they will be getting their own 'folio'
