That's wonderful! Great River voice, and I love the mental thought process and how it lines up to the slightly odd way of speaking.

[hereswith]

Thank you! I'm very happy you liked it.

I like the way this points out their differences -- his "Should've stomped on it" as opposed to her sense of the bug's "whispering tickle of life" -- and the way their humor is on the same wavelength. Charming vignette. Write me some more! *g*

[hereswith]

Thank you! And thanks for assuring me it wasn't altogether too odd in the first place!

See, I read this:

Summary: River, Mal, and a bug.

And I thought: 'Oh, what am I in for now?'

But I should've not forgotten the unwavering faith I have in your writing. Marvelously cute and dare I say, flirty (I can read between the lines.. or have delusions between the lines, your choice)? I absolutely loved it, darling, even the bug.

[hereswith]

You braved it! I hoped you would and I'm so glad you loved it, the bug and all. It isn't a cockroach, as I promised. And this could be read as almost flirty, yes. I'm not going to protest that :-)

[hereswith]

Thank you. *beams*

Very shiny!!! I'm so glad you're writing again!!!! No one does River's voice like you.

I don't get that many anonymous comments, so when I saw there was one, I thought it must be you. And it was :-) Thanks so much for the encouragement. ♥
