That's lovely! Very well observed, and I like all the different points of view and how your word choices characterize them so neatly. I also like how the observations each build on the previous one to show us Sheppard more clearly, illuminating something different each time.

Thank you! I've always enjoyed seeing Sheppard from other people's points of view because everyone sees something different.

Oh yeah. That's a really great portrait of Sheppard through the eyes of his people.

I love this- all of this, but I confess #3 twanged my heart the most.
