Glad you liked this one! I was curious what kind of things you might guess Toot's revelation would be. This was another one that came up while Nicole and I were having one of our "what if" conversations; I really liked the idea, so I wrote it. She liked the fact that I was having Xandir twist in the wind for most of the episode. (On a humorous note, she said that I went too easy on Xandir in the end, but my argument was that if I didn't, Toot would have looked bad.)

Like many I've written lately for some reason, this one was a different style than usual; the entire second act was basically one long extended conversation between them. I particular liked the scenes in which Xandir keeps not-so-subtly hinting for Toot to be more forthcoming about WHAT it was she didn't like- and Toot just won't take the bait.

Xandir: I'm not upset about it at all.

Toot: Excellent.

Xandir: I don't care if you liked it or not.

Toot: Sounds good.

Xandir: I'm not even going to ask why you didn't like it.

Toot: Works for me.

Xandir: I mean, sure, every other person I've slept with in the world thought I was just "the bomb", so why should I let it get under my skin that one little person thinks I wasn't great?

Toot: You shouldn't.

Xandir: And I won't.

Toot: Good.

And finally, one more trivia note: This was Clara's smallest role in a fic to date. (Her previous smallest role was Diary.)

Anyway, glad you liked it, and as always, I look forward to your comments! And more letters would also be warmly received ;)
