My goodness....thank you! Young "Needlefoot" that's a great name

That was terrific. You made it seem so easy.

[rhetoretician]

You're welcome, Racquel. I enjoyed doing it, although it wasn't all that easy. (After I made such a mess of that Persephone/Hades drabble before, I wanted to make sure I had some control over the language this time.)

I think all kittens of that age ought to be named Needlefoot. Ouch!

Not actually using the prompt words - that's just too clever by half! So of course you get congratulated.

[rhetoretician]

Thanks, Bel. I had fun doing it.

Oh, cool! I really like how you're able to say a lot with those few words. Especially the last sentence, it has a ton of meaning.
Using the prompts by description only was a great twist.

Thanks!

[rhetoretician]

Thanks! I'm new to this drabble stuff, as you know. The challenge (and the fun) seem to be in saying a lot by saying a little.

You used the word "scars"! Was that just for me? :) And it wasn't even angsty! This was nice - full of light and play and happiness. Loved it.

[rhetoretician]

Wellllll, I'd like to claim that I was that clever, but the bit about the scar seemed to come naturally after I brought up the kitten scratches. (But I dunno, maybe my "please Annette" circuit was running in the background...)

Lovely, Ken. I like the double meaning of the title: Rachel's reward for the question, and Harry's reward of endless days to spend like that with Ginny.

[rhetoretician]

Thanks, Val. Actually I didn't intend the double-meaning to start with; I was just thinking about Harry's and Ginny's reward. But then I realized, as you said, that the whole thing was Rachel's reward.
