Ah, there's some beautiful lines in that piece though, I can vouch for that since I just finished it. :)

I just feel like dialogue flows better for me, you know? (I think you do know!) It probably depends on the characters, but narration is always a slower process for me--getting into how things look and smell and taste rather than just sitting and "hearing" the dialogue in my head and writing it down. Maybe it's a function of being so shippy as well? Dialogue is where a relationship often blooms, after all...
