I think you are picking up what I'm putting down, so to speak. :) At first, I really had a hard time figuring out why Bug and Chaill would be friends other than a sort of solidarity in captivity, but they're making more sense to me as I go.

I got the idea of reading thoughts by smell from the BBC series Jekyll...sort of. It was a far more bestial version of it, but it sort of slid a bunch of things into place that I had been musing on before. As always, thank you for your reading and your notes...so much appreciated!

Aww, that last line is kind of sweet, I think. And the idea of reading someone's secrets on their skin is very, very cool. Well done.

Thank you! I was going for sweet/wtf is she talking about in that line. ^^ As always thank you a million billion for your reading and notes ^^

Very cool way to explain the seeming telepathy. I like it. :) And I think the last line is kind of sweet. It really shows off their developing friendship.

Yay, I'm glad. I always like sort of pseudo "scientific" explanations for stuff that is really just magic. Dressed up magic, maybe, but if you put a pig in a dress...or something? I don't think I'm making any sense. I should probably not comment in the first hour that I'm awake.

As always, thank you so much for reading and your notes!!! <3

JSYK, I am catching up on and enjoying these! :D I like the idea of "smelling" instead of "sensing" people's thoughts. Love the interactions between Bug and Chaill too.
