Hmmmmm! I am truly getting caught up in this fic! Your take on everyone's characters is fabulous! I love the playful, mischievous hobbits, (*still giggling about the mysterious 'fountain incident' and naive Lij and the 'game' of Tig*) card shark Daisy, 'shady' Craig, gossipy Bernard, John and Lawrence, (*cackles at the image of the three men at a tea-and-gossip clatch, dressed in frilly hats*) and I absolutely adore Harry! I love the way he and Orlando met and how he simply 'adopts' the young man and the fact that their minds seem to work on a similar level. Yeah, rather scary thought, that! *big grin* Oh, and I'd love to learn more about Karl and Harry. I think there must be quite a colorful back story to that relationship.

*grins sheepishly* Well, as you can see, I'm basically fascinated by just about everyone and everything in this fic. That's one of the things I love most about your writing. It's never flat or one-dimensional. Even your peripheral characters have an interesting story to tell. Thank you so much for creating this highly intriguing and addictive world! It's definitely one I can hardly wait to visit again!

*hugs*
