Thank you very much! I enjoyed reading the different aspects of the story that you enjoyed or appreciated. It was especially nice to read that you could hear the two of them in your head as you were reading the dialogue.

Severus and Minerva are two of my favorite characters to write, though they aren't always easy to write, and I do enjoy writing them together, so this fic was a great opportunity to do that, and to do a scene with them that I'd never done and hadn't really considered before.

and of course, Minerva's response to Severus's question about "being with men." For one thing, unlike Minerva, I *have* retained my adolescent prurient interest in the intimate lives of others (or at least, of hers), and so I'm glad he asked what was on my mind (though I would not have wanted to embarrass her; I just want to know!) And I loved the way she both put him in his place and yet treated him as an equal in her answer.

LOL! Yes, I too enjoyed knowing the answer to Severus's question. I'm sure that if it had been a conversation between the two of you, it would have been a comfortable exchange of confidences and more in-depth discussion of relationships and life and sex. :-)

Thanks again -- I appreciated your detailed comments!
