Thanks, I love it when readers point out phrases they particularly enjoyed. I'm glad you like Anthony and John, they're a favorite of mine too. Hmm, you just gave me an idea. Moster Grethe is a mix of two relatives of mine, so I'm always pleased when my readers appreciate her. Thanks for reading and commenting.

what's the "little man in the boat ?"

Who was it who said that strategy never survives the onset of the battle? Next time they'll know they need to plan for the unexpected to happen. We readers know why Mr. B was so affected, it's because he's originally from the Kingdom, like Kieran. I wonder if they'll find out eventually. Does Kieran look the same as he did before? Then someone may recognize the Prince, if they meet people. I assume they carefully put out the fire from their first meal. Woorawa wold never forget the danger of a bush fire.

Robbie's conviction he'll die may be partly caused by his depression, however, it does have some merit. I've heard a story about a young woman who fell of a horse and hit her head. Took her a long time to recover. A few years later she developed a brain tumor which killed her, and the doctors couldn't explain its appearance in any other way than 'possibly due to her earlier accident.' Another possible explanation is slow seepage of spinal fluid, but that would probably show up on a full-body scan. As for the discussion about whether Alex should be reported and punished, I think it depends on what Robbie wants and what benefits him right now. He needs to focus on what will make him feel safe, such as refusing to be alone with Alex. Hopefully, he can enlist Nicola and Daniel to achieve this.

But I bet he or she isn't online almost 24/7. There's usually someone here.

Focus on that and be proud you survived her presence in your life. And don't tell her you'll miss her. Tell her you hope her life will improve too.

I wonder if reading about the persecution of gays in less civilized parts of the world will make Eric think he shouldn't complain about those teens in his garden. If so, I hope Andy will tell him otherwise. Eric has never harmed anyone and he should not have to fear or endure harassment. Charity starts at home, and so does common decency and humanity.

I wouldn't mind staying longer at work, if they served nice food and washed my clothes. I'm sure Sablo is pleased he won't have to use Theo to get in to talk to Ayil. But he still has to work out how to influence the testing of his brother. As for Diego's new orders LOL, once a week posting is actually very often for me (Aditus is much better). Imp may bite your ass if you steal his pillows. No telling what Angel will do.

Thank you, Gary, we're enjoying this collaboration, and we haven't fought about the direction or the details yet. Feel free to brag, but I hope we can give you a fun surprise or two.

Well, Sablo doesn't always think before he acts. Remember how he tried to stop Theliel from shooting a red arrow at the guy he was guarding? And what happened next ? Glad you like the idea of Diego being stalked by Death. More next week.

Of course, I'm all for threesomes and foursomes and....

Well, it was either then or now, since I've been away all day. Hope my reply to your comment doesn't wake you up again. Some sort of conspiracy ?

Welcome to the club. We didn't know what was going on, either, when we started writing the story. But Sablo and Diego are doing their best to figure it out.

Sablo walked briskly down the hallway, shouldering away fellow Guardians in the process. “Hey! What’s your problem?” “Did your Cupid deny you your morning BJ, or what?” “What’s the rush?” “Sup.” “Hey!” ”Careful!” Sablo flipped them all off and stormed inside their Head Guardian’s office without knocking, his brother reluctantly in tow. As always, Ariel was impeccable dressed in a black turtleneck and matching slacks; his long dark cashmere coat on a hanger on the

Moobs ? Ooooohhhh MAN BOOBS Thanks, I slept like a log and am now feeling OK, even though it's only 25 past seven in the morning.

You're most welcome to stalk any story we write.

I'm glad Robbie stood up to Sue about Conner and Walter, but I'm sad he refused to see the therapist recommended by Mr. Andrews. Interesting how Sue was not impressed with Don's new religious 'friends.' I think Robbie made a sensible choice about Alex and the sexual assault. He is in no state of mind to face the ramifications of telling anyone. But of course, we're already seeing the consequences he suffers, both mentally and bodily. That's why a good therapist is important, but only if he or she can promise full confidentiality. How does this play out in Canada, when Robbie is a minor ?

Thank you, what a lovely way to put it. Yeah, I can see those traits in myself - and they were already there when I was Patrick's age.

Thank you for a lovely comment, just what I needed after a long day at work. Ooohh, nestlings doing target practice, why didn't we think of that @aditus ? Do we have time to add something ? A certain AI pair ? Stay tuned for another chapter tomorrow.

hairy boobs ! Yikes - Good evening, all. It was a long day at work, and I still have some stuff to do. Maybe I'll wait till the morning or I may fall asleep at the keyboard.

I especially look forward to more of the A.I. stuff. The idea of self-aware computers has always fascinated me.

Go get them, Kohen. Time for payback and freedom.

Another way to find good stories is to check out the favorite authors of the people who read the same stories you do, and of the authors you like. Oh, and you can follow members as authors on their story page, rather than follow them personally. That way you only get story related notifications and not everything else (status updates etc) - or at least I think so. Thanks for the recommendation, @Thirdly though perhaps you should have warned about me not having updated my longer stories for a while.

Thanks, Def. I'm glad you're on board. Adi and I are having so much fun writing this.
