I have to snicker at Reida making that one last attempt to get Sethan to sleep to her and Sethan using, you know, logic to rebuff her. I'm liking Reida's meddling in this whole affair XD

Love the end...sounds like a solid plan, guys!

[shayna611]

Who says that's her last attempt?

It's going to be such a mess for them from here out, but you know that. I think I am going to try to keep poking at this arc and get some more of it filled out.

thanks :)

LOL! Nice try Reida. Did she really expect it to work? I like that Sethan appreciates exactly what Reida is good for - scaring Kairn - and dismisses her other stupid suggestions. I'd kind of like to see Berwyk's reactions, and also how he reacts around Sethan after this :)

[shayna611]

She figures she's gotta try. I really do need to figure out what Berwyk is doing at this time. He's been suspiciously absent from all these scenes.

thanks :)

aww, thank you! :)

Reida has managed to carve out (probably with something dull and jagged) a special place in my heart, I think she's one of my favorite characters I've ever written. And well, even if she doesn't like some parts of the plan she's going to go along until she can turn it around so it's all her plan.

That is...certainly one way to find out about a pregnancy. O_O And explains a lot about the previous piece. I like how you used the prompt, and I can tell Sethan is a firm believer in the adage it comes from. Acting instead of idle complaint = usually a good plan.

Reida? Do you really want to be treated the way Sethan treats Shasa? Or the one who would die because of this? Because I doubt you do. *shakes head*

[shayna611]

There are various theories about what will happen if Sethan has a kid, and most of the people around him would like to see it not happen (hence the danger Shasa now finds herself in) Of course, he and Reida have plans of their own.

Sethan's actually been very nice to Shasa up to this point, but Reida is hardly looking for romance, she would just really like to get him in bed. And she figures she could have done a lot better job of keeping things secret - which is exactly why Sethan didn't use her, he figured she would have snuck off and kept the kid for herself.

thanks :)

This has definitely peaked my interest. I have to say that, twisted as it may seem, Reida is slowly becoming one of my favourite characters. Not that I'd really want to meet her in real life but she is definitely an interesting read.

Thank you! :)

I swear the villains are my favorites, and they seem to get the most attention from readers too.
