It's sweet to see Fiorenza and Don Candido getting along.

Yay! ysabetwordsmith July 12 2012, 06:18:37 UTC

I'm glad you liked it. They both have prickles, but they're good people.

That was part of the original prompt for Don Candido from marina_bonomi. She wanted someone with a different area of authority who could butt heads with Fiorenza, yet still respect each other in some ways, and be friends even though they're both kind of exasperating at times.

*nods* It is fun watching those two bounce off each other... and Pasquale had that coming, both ways! At least he learned his lesson and remained in one piece. Those two louts... had it coming as well. As Kaylee says, some things just get broke what cain't be fixed. Sadly, this includes people.

Sooth.

In my observation, no one is unsalvageable who does not choose to be. Some people are just determined to make a plague of themselves. This tends to end badly.
