*grins* You've got a wonderful way of creating tension as the characters interact - I really felt for young Ben.

(And you scooped me, too - I was going to write about the otter scar this weekend! ^_~)

I would think the otter scar has a lot of ways it could go, though, yeah?

I'm glad you liked!

I always thought about what Ben's home was like and I think you draw a good picture of it!
Bob is so full of stories but he never really listened to his son:( - Dad looked at him for a moment with a quizzical expression, and then said "Hmm" again to himself and took another forkful of his dinner.

Thank you!

ooo. I really loved this!

Perfect Bob voice (the tale about the scratch on his arm was especially good) and really - perfect young!Ben voice! I can hear the Fraser we know saying this, and acting like this.

I like this very, very much!

Whee!

You break my heart, babe. Poor Ben.

::sniff::

(Very nicely done.)

[pearl_o]

Thank you very much!

Grrr...can I kick Bob in the head? Yeah, I know he's dead now, but still. You really got a reaction from me on this one, Pearl. Good writing, that. :g:

Thanks - I'm glad you liked it.
