Challenge #128

[shivver]

Here's a challenge: select or create a character with a specific character flaw and write a scene that _subtly_ reveals it. It's easy to make it obvious, like taking Hamlet and his indecision and give him a soliloquy where he expounds on it for five minutes, but much harder to reveal it to the reader with quiet clues.

Here's an example you can use: Mary and Adam meet up and Mary gives Adam a wrapped present. They're going off to do something, so Adam puts it in a pocket for later. Mary keeps hinting at the present until Adam finally pulls it back out and unwraps it, and gushes over it and thanks her for it. The character flaw is that Mary needs validation - she gave him the gift not because she wanted to give him something but because she wanted to be praised for it.
