I’m pleased that you were pleased. I’ll need to give the story time to age a bit before I can assess for myself how well it matched what I intended to present, but for now I’m not too DISsatisfied.

These are rich, layered characters, and exploring those depths offers a lot of possibilities. If this one worked as a story (and as a submission for summer_of_giles), then I’m glad.
