Okay, THIS I get so very, very much. I'd be right there with Laura all the way. So basically, my point is that you pick up the emotions of that situation super well because I wanted to tell her that I understood :P Chasie never fails to crack me up and Sidney is adorable, even without speaking :) Love this! Yay for holiday shenanigans!

:D Why thank you. That was me once. Freaking ice skating. I find it so much more fun now, though. I am very glad you enjoyed Chase and Sidney too :D

Aww, this is sweet. Kevin, you're a good dude when you're not dealing with insane guilt and unhappiness. I like how vivid you made Laura's fear, and the way joy sort of sneaks in at the edges. Lovely story.

It's an interesting change writing Kevin more the way he would normally be. Refreshing, too, since I have to go back to ANGRAY Kevin soon. Thank you very much! I'm glad the descriptions worked.

Not at all! That was me once, too. Kevin and Lindsey's advice is pretty much what a good friend of mine told me back when we were in middle school and it made ice skating so much more fun and less hazardous. I had fun with non!angsty Kevin, too. Thank you! :D

I've been wanting to go ice skating for WEEKS. Yay for living a bit vicariously through characters! And thank you :D

very cute :) and nice to see a happy Kevin!

Your characters are all always so good to each other, they're such good friends. ♥ It's kind of refreshing when I read them, because mine are always busy making trouble for each other instead.

Well, I kind of think that there's a little bit of affection in the way Reida makes trouble for Kairn. A little? :P

Thank you! This crowd is fun and happy Kevin is a nice change. I made a lot of some changes to my canon and in doing so took away his filter (Lindsey) so he gets to be even angrier than usual when I get back to that. :(

oh, my characters feel plenty of affection for each other, they're just so often not good at showing it ;)

aww, poor guy. (I skipped your epiphany post because I'd rather see the writing that comes of it without the spoilers)

Oh, okay! Well, I get to start Rum Raisin this weekend and a lot of the changes will be in that. :D
