Oh hon! I love this, I love how timid they both are but how they're both still so in character. Lovely, lovely piece.

(and I spotted a tiny typo in the first paragraph - you put their instead of neither I think)

Thank you, hun! ♥ I don't have a lot of practice with this pairing, but it sure interests me, so I thought I'd explore it and see what happened. It means a lot to me that you liked it.

Typo now fixed. Thanks for letting me know. :)

I like that they're both awkward and overthinking. But for some reason, I really adore that she takes his hand, and it doesn't seem weird to either of them. :)

I kinda think it would be a little awkward, especially given what all of them have been through, seeing each other again after a while apart. I'm glad you liked this, hun. ♥ Thanks for reading.

I actually squeed when I saw this on the pairing alone -- I love Kate/Sayid.

Their ways will part, eventually, and Kate knows that she survived loosing a connection she had needed once. She also knows that she won’t be able to do it again.

I love that part, the entire ending rocks in fact. The way you've written them, kind of awkward and yet totally perfect for them.

Great fic!

Aw, well, thank you. This isn't a pairing I have a lot of experience with, so I wanted to give it a try. :) I'm glad you liked it, and thank you so much for reading.

I ♥ Kate/Sayid. Someday I will write them again.

I really love this little snapshot, this moment. It feels very real - the familiarity, the awkwardness. I just love the way they kind of regard each other, the way they say so little and yet they're communicating so much. It's sweet and subtle and really effective. Lovely job :)

Thank you very much, sweetie. I don't have a lot of experience writing Kate/Sayid, so I thought I would give it a try and see what I could come up with. I'm very glad you liked it. ♥

This is a lovely, honest look into how their paths might cross post-island - as happy as can be, which is to say not entirely miserable. It makes sense that they wouldn't want to talk about what they're doing now, or get their expectations up. But I can imagine that they'd actually be kinda glad to see each other, for a little while... a bit sad, but also almost sweet. (And, hey, who wouldn't want to take a walk with Sayid?)

I think that, as nice as seeing each other could be, there would be that little bit of awkwardness and that feeling of not really knowing what to say. Especially after all that they went through. I'm glad that worked for you and thank you for reading.
