Fic: Privacy, A Series of Scenes

[angelicsinner]

Kahlan felt the heaviness of her body as it seemed to sink deeper into the mattress with every exhalation. She tried not to think about, well, a lot of things. About the smell of both Cara and herself mingled in the bedding, the fact they had both experienced pleasure there beneath the same sheets, how they would then sleep side by side through

I can't tell you how much I'm loving this

[angelicsinner]

And I just wanna say-- I've now read your story (it kept me from slipping into madness on my all-night red-eye through an north-eastern thunder and hail-storm), and I plan to review it to its full (EPIC!) worth, so please keep an eye. =-D

I'm glad you're enjoying the story so far, and that the details seem believable to you too; I worry every time I write a scene where Cara and Lilly are together that it'll just bend the character of Cara that we all know from the show too far, until the illusion breaks... Let me know if I ever pass that point? I certainly trust your instincts. (Did I mention that your story was AMAZING? No? Well, your story was amazing!)

And there should be more to come, so keep an eye out -- assuming this crazy trip doesn't completely ruin all this progress I've made with my writers-block... (*fingers crossed!*)

Short comment to say: you’re *not* making a point against my thinking you are a genius! (Really, maybe you should learn how to live with that, ‘cause I’m not changing my mind!) ;D

This was beautiful, and heartfelt, and deep, and you’re killing me..! :D

Still, I <3 for writing this whole story

[e_quint]

It’s funny how sometimes I shorten (?) my explanations as if you’d know exactly what I mean about everything I say.. As though we’re talking everyday, or you could read my mind... ;P (yeah, I’m silly, I know. *sheepish grin* Like you once said: ignore me. It’s late ;) -- and I’m sick)

So, I also wanted to say: Cara’s opening up and her take on their proximity was(/is being) just (*sigh*)… beyond any expectations I could ever have… :D Really: impressively beautiful! Now, I guess that’s pretty obvious, but I’ll say it anyways: loved it! ;D

[angelicsinner]

Oh no! Sick? Well... okay, I'm way behind on this, but are you okay now? Are you feeling any better? And while I'd like to think I understand you, I will make no such assumptions- if I am unsure, you can count on me asking. But, so-far-so-good... I think... I hope? Eh-- ignore me, I'm jet-lagged! ;-D

And I'm glad you 'loved' this chapter, and liked what Cara had to say about her and Kahlan's proximity. Hopefully, I'll keep up the good work! =-)

[angelicsinner]

Dear e_quint,
the more you call me a genius, the more I feel the need to point out the truth of your misconception. So, yes, I will make a point against it! I will not have you be a liar! I will defend your honor and integrity, don't try and stop me-- I may not be a genius, but that doesn't mean I am selfish. =-P

And on that note? Hello again! Sorry for the belated reply! (*waves*)
I'm glad you enjoyed the dialog in this-- I felt a little unsure about all of it, Cara isn't usually much of a 'talker', but in this scene she's doing most of it, which I knew was a bit of a change-up... I hope I didn't lose her voice in all of that though; otherwise it's really a step back more than anything else... =-/

AND NO HEART 'SPLOD-Y!! BAD! Don't do that! Stay with me, I need you to keep me on my toes! And, you know, I'd miss you! ;-D

“For as long as this winter drags on, this bed is yours. This land is yours, this palace is yours, these rooms are yours, and this bed is yours."
What she didn´t dare saying: "and I´m yours..."
Beautiful and touching, as always...You´ve such a sense to get their emotions across to us. Great update!

[angelicsinner]

Glad you liked it! And thanks for the review!
And, yeah-- the "and I'm yours too"-implications are certainly there. It's like the Night'Wisp language; you have to have a trained ear to hear it! =-P

This was not the chapter I expected... but it turned out to be so much better this way. So many fantastic lines, from *Cara*, the main talker in this chapter o_O!

"I wish to be in this one with you because it is where you are. I would not want you in another’s bed and I would not want another here in your place."

“We are to one another what no one else could be in this city, perhaps in all the Midlands. So why would I leave you to another, or seek someone else when I have you?”

“You are my friend Kahlan. Perhaps my only genuine one. It is a pleasure to be with you, in any way you would have me.”

Ahhhh. Really, I could paste the whole thing in here, but these lines really got me. Melt, melt, melt into a big puddle of smiling sappiness. Thank you, AS!

[angelicsinner]

Hmmm-- so you caught that, huh? I worried about how much Cara was talking in this scene... I really hope it wasn't so much that her voice and character got lost or became somewhat unbelievable?
But, at any rate-- I'm really glad you liked this chapter, and the dialog, and especially since it was not the scene you'd expected!
Thanks for the review! Sorry for the delayed reply!

kinda spoilers for next chapter

[statuepup]

I really did like this chapter, and I never stopped hearing Cara's voice throughout her dialogue

[musicffyou]

Yes, they are getting closer to something. I know your just giving us a little so that the pay off is big but darn it, really want these two together lol

Patience is the name of the game :D

Great chapter update and I love how Cara has grown as a friend and 2nd mother to Lily >.>

[angelicsinner]

So do I, musicffyou, so do I...
(and not just because I worry that too much build-up will just make the eventual coming together seem inadequate... uh oh...)
...aaaaaaand here comes the mind-numbing fear!
