    Chapter 10

    I considered this aspect prior to my comment. Even healers must face the necessity of having to destroy or kill to serve the greater good. I'm not saying he would be happy about it.

    Keep in mind blinding isn't the only power of light. Concentrated, it can cut through anything.
  3. It would seem complex, but it's not. Fran only has one true choice here. The 3,000 men Fran has will not be nearly enough to stop Edith. He has to take her side. This will also serve to help mend the tear between him and Edward.
  4. A valuable object lesson to the ideal of questioning everything.

    Chapter 10

    It was an oddity the twins could only be healed together. It does raise the question what if one hadn't survived? While this is all good news so far, this little initial wrinkle makes me wonder if other unforeseen issues are ahead.

    I got mired in cheesecake lust.
  9. If you want to dupe someone, first fire up their emotions.
  10. Dupe can be shorthand for duplicate.

    Now we see Micco and Chase's bond was privately and formally sealed as blood brothers. The texter must be Danny. He was the one making these accusations before.

    Most cash in circulation does have those traces.

    Chapter 1

    Men are not machines regardless of the extensive training they receive and too often we demand the impossible from those serving in the military. This gives us a view into how service animals aid those suffering from PTSD. I found it fascinating how these subtle interactions mollified stress so effectively. Amidst this we have a burgeoning romance between two damaged men. Well crafted and told.

    Does this mean the supposed and ephemeral mystery person will be skulking about in a '55 Chevy?
  15. Polymaths have made lasting contributions to humanity. The ideas of Aristotle, Leonardo di Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Nikola Tesla still influence our lives today.

    Oh, it's there. You just can't see it.
  17. Yeah, I can see the danger there.
  18. You're both the Daisy and Huckleberry for us, Gary.

    Chapter 34 S1

    Oh, I'm not disputing it, just curious how two divergent narratives could still be around after over a hundred years.

    Chapter 9

    I was a bit surprised Sebastian was so willing to believe the poisoning was the sole cause of Caleb's actions. Now we know Caleb didn't get all of Asa's abilities, but can channel power to him. I hope this doesn't take too much of a toll on Asa. Healing all the hybrids will take a long time. This is a big step for Asa. He's kept his ability a secret for so long and now he's trusting it to virtual strangers.

    Chapter 34 S1

    Captain Richard Roberts, the commander of Astor's yacht 'Noma', said that apart from some slight discolouration by water, Astor's features were mostly unharmed; Gerald Ross, an electrician on the Mackay-Bennett, reported that Astor's "face was swollen, one jaw was injured." Astor was buried in Trinity Church Cemetery in Manhattan, New York City. (His DNA was matched to that of his first son Vincent and second son John Jacob 'Jakey' born to his surviving widow Madeleine Astor, four months after Titanic sank. Trace DNA also matched to his grandson William Backhouse Aston III, (Jakey's son). It's odd the info I saw, more than one source, openly said he was never found.
  22. It can also be moving in a way to draw attention. An actor might try to upstage another by flouncing across the stage during the other's lines.

    Chapter 34 S1

    Neither are such an unpleasant death comparatively speaking. His body was never recovered, but they found his jacket and pocket watch. He was likely wearing a beaver fur felt hat as well. The Titanic was a tragedy which struck many lives. Most of those who died were third class passengers. Is there anyone who doesn't believe he could have used his position to secure himself a place in a lifeboat as Bruce Ismay did?

    As long as you don’t use it to make a fire and then try to stomp it out.
