Yay!! you are alive!! Thank you for the ficlet =)
Oh no, I've forgotten who Taurent is!!

[flighty_dreams]

It's okay, I know it's been a while and he's only been mentioned some in passing. As triptyx said, Taurent was Matt's first love, they grew up together back on (conservative) Karta and had a (secret, scandalous) affair.

Ah!! Nice ficlet! Thanks so much. Unfortunately I'm with darkblue Ice. I've forgotten who Taurent is too.

[flighty_dreams]

It's okay, no worries. I clarified above. Thanks for reading.

I always assumed that the Andorian genes made you bisexual Min was interested in both genders equally? That he would check out males as much as females? Interesting!

And I was thinking of Taurent too, because Matt I think was pretty straightforward with his preference for only males, wasnt he? He mentioned that it would have been a great scandal if his affair with the a son of another wealthy family would have become public! But I cant remember if he told all this to Min, because then searching for a Taurent would become too easy for Min! >:D But I had the feeling he told Min about being interested in only men...?

And LOL to Taurent, if he knew he was the man Matt not only dated in Karta but loved the whole rule of no stalking murdering of exes would be suddenly be ignored! >:D >:D

[flighty_dreams]

Well sure, hopefully the readers knew that, as I showed him in a relationship with Kate too lol. It was Matt that didn't know. :-)

Yeah, I'd say Matt made his interest in only men pretty clear during previous chapters. And obsessive interest in one particular man, ahem.

Are you saying Alex would be hunting him down if he knew the full extent of Matt's feelings for this Taurent? :P I'm sure a 'mysterious disappearance' could be arranged somehow!

Evidence number 2393493 for not talking/writing/reading/thinking...while under the influence of wine! My befuddled brain yesterday thought that the just was like 'barely'... O_O...hence my weird questions! I had interpreted it as telling Matt he had little attraction to men. And I am talking of Min+Matt! So yeah, not commenting until sober is my new rule! ;)

Exactly the obsessive interest >:D is on both sides! That should have given me a ~hint~ yesterday, you would thin, but...

Matt also has an aversion to country clubs because of the break-up, hasnt he? I think Taurent is not very safe if Min knows more about him! >:D

[flighty_dreams]

Lol, I see now! Yes, clearly commenting while inebriated is a dangerous activity. :-)

Just a little obsessive interest on both sides, yes. :D

Yep, that's right. Lol, so you're saying Taurent should be watching his back? Good thing he is far away and Alex is very ahem, distracted, living with Matt.

Oh, what a beautiful morning! I'm so glad to see something more on this story, I've missed it so much. Thanks for this chapter, and I hope more is on its way! Love this story so much!

[flighty_dreams]

Aww, thanks. I'm sure the boys would be glad to hear they are missed. I'm always working on it in some way, ideas percolating in the brain. Hopefully a full update sooner rather than later!

[flighty_dreams]

Yeah, I hoped it would hit a good note between serious and playful. Glad to hear it! I am working on more, I certainly plan to finish.
