Happy New Year! Glad I could offer something. *grin*

Yeah it's like they get in their own way as much as each other's. Some lessons in tact might help!

Also, there's a time gap between Parts 4 and 5.

Thanks for commenting!

This is totally off topic and super late (I just got into this fic) but are you Tamil/Singhalese? That's the only New Year I can think of on April 14th.

I missed it too and I'm sad to say I had to go back and re-read it bit to remember where it left off. Okay I lied about being sad I was actually very thrilled to read it again.

[flighty_dreams]

I'm very sorry you had to reread it too. ;-)

Thanks for commenting, I'm pleased you're enjoying the story.

And look what happens while I lie in bed day and night and are bored out of my mind! She posts! :-)

“How? You deceive me and keep a promise to Min, who is not only not your friend but also a fucking slave!”

I literally slapped my forehead when I read that. Matt, Matt...

This between them really progress and regress every other minute. I was a bit surprised Alex didn't react stronger to this than he did, but I guess he too could understand that it's not so easy for Matt to change his thinking in one go under the best of circumstances, and especially not when he is constantly hit with new surprises. People who are forced to both reevaluate some core opinions at the same time as they feel they are losing control over a lot of things in their surrounding often don't react that very well to it.

I was relieved though that there was not a total fall-out between Matt and Hollis, that would have been sad.

And the beer sharing/hand holding earlier was kind of cute :-)

You of all ppl shouldnt be headdeasking about what Matt said, actually you should be supportive of that point of view!
(I dimly recall some comments recently where you advertised what you think is appropriate treatment of slaves ahem)

[fran_fic]

I dimly recall YOU advertizing better and humane treatments of them!!! :-)

Besides I can be supportive of the view of Min as Matt's slave and still headdesking at Matt's clumsy way of expressing himself. Since he has already (with no regards to any of our views about this in itself) given Min this that he is willing to change how he looks at him, it wasn't really the best thing he could have said in that particular way if he wants to try to keep meeting Alex half-way, which the story now IS about, I guess :-) He could have pointed out to Hollis that Min is a slave, yeah, but did he have to say "fucking slave"? As if Min isn't valuable to him even as a slave. But, as I also said, I understand his reaction in the light of everything Matt has been put through, which hasn't been easy for him either. So... no making me out to be a Matt basher again here now ;-)

And better treatment doesnt exclude them still being fucking slaves :) And I never said better treatment of your slave didnt include correcting his behaviour when needed, I'm just against violence for nothing :)And Matt can describe his slave however he wants (and that has nothing to do with how much said fucking annoying bastard is worth to him) :)
