Brilliant. Brilliant. Love the bit of Christian and Ariadne playing Angry Birds [of course she would be good at it] and I love the interactions between Eames and Ariadne so much. Thanks for the gorgeous dialogue and the characters getting fleshed out some more. Arthur looks like he is carrying some serious baggage - and I'm not sure I would have been as subtle in that threat about Ariadne as Eames was.

I loved the idea of practicing knife-fighting with marker pens.

And that last line made me laugh!

I think Arthur and Eames are both carrying serious baggage whenever I write them. Of course, Ariadne's the Only Sane (Wo)Man in this crew. Her and Yusuf.

“I’m sorry to interrupt your foreplay . . .

Oh God, Christian is us, the readers.

I don't think of my readers as a questionably sane bunch with failing livers.

Well. If you happen to fit that demographic, it's just a coincidence. (:

New chapter! woo! \o/

That out of the way, I love how everything started coming together with the bigger plot pieces falling into place. Big Chris is such an ass, and I want to reach through the screen and shake him for how much he hurt Chris in this. Though I'd likely get a bullet to the brainpan for my trouble.

I'm loving everyone's voices in this, I really am. :)

The thing about really dangerous people is that they don't kill just because they've been provoked. Not right then anyway.

Big Chris is of the sort who'd recognize that shooting someone for calling him out on bad parenting would be counterproductive and thus let it pass until he could deal with said someone in an untraceable manner.

Which is probably, if you think about it, nastier than him just flipping out and popping a cap in someone.

Eek. Yes, you're right. This is exactl why he's so terrifying ad good as a spy but horrible as a parent. I can't wait to see what he does next, tho. I'm sure whatever it is, it's a doozy and Chris will be traumatized again. I'm glad that he can talk to Ariadne without any difficulties. Eames is so guilt ridden that he'd be useless to help Chris.

Ooh! Part 6!

The team banter is delightful, Angry Birds is just too perfect, marker fights FTW... I love the development of Ariadne's professional and dangerous side(s), Christian's backstory & father (Big Chris, you asshole!), Arthur and Eames beginning to edge towards getting a romantic clue. *happy sigh* hearts for eyes, man. Hearts for eyes.

rthur and Eames beginning to edge towards getting a romantic clue.

I don't know, thought. Ariadne might have something to say about the both of them playing romantic hot potato with her. Something along the lines of "HELLO, guys, I have agency here, I think I can decide whether fucking either of you is bad for me."

((: Which is why I love having her around in my noggin. Next chapter is in the works, but I have a Intro to Finnish History paper to finish this weekend, so that's being prioritized first.

Heh. Her annoyance will be epic. XD

RL always comes first. Rock that paper, and whenever you have time for fic, you will also have an audience.
