Wow! Thank you!

Heehee, even if the ninja roll isn't there, it's still awesome ^^ Also, who said this wasn't Spiritshipping? ;) I think it's quite fitting that this gift fic turned out this way given that I preach in my own fics about how Spiritshipping is about not being so blatant and it's all about the little moments like this blah blah blah natural. Well, can't really come up with the right adjective now but I like how their conversations flow, like everything is just so ordinary but then the ordinary things are what seem so special... Oh, I'm just confusing things. And myself. xD

I'm nearly there with my gift fic to you, I just need the final push to finish it T.T But I will finish it. Even though it might be after New Year's. *shot*

Thanks again!

Ah yes. I think anything just with them in it can almost be considered Spiritshipping as that's all they do in the anime anyway, be together. You're right, it's not blatant at all it is kind of subtle. And I use subtle loosely of course. :D

I think natural is right, it is certainly what I thought while I was writing it. And I'm glad it is Spiritshippy enough. ^^ Anyway, they certainly are comfortable being together and that's what I was going for. It was actually suppose to be more like my first couple of lines and follow the book theme, but it kind of went of on its own little direction so I went with that.

Aw thanks! XD If it helps I'm going camping over New Year so I won't be back until the secondish. (Incidentally if I don't reply to anything that's why.)

No worries. ^_^ I had fun writing it.

I thought I'd check out some of the gift-fics that you wrote for people, since they looked quite interesting. Anyway I really liked this. I'm a big fan of slice-of-life stuff which gives you an overall view of the character's relationships with one another. I like this interpretation of Johan and Judai--really good friends who are so close they can easily predict one another's movements. It seems quite in keeping with canon.

Two points I found especially interesting were Johan's view of Manjoume and the Ojamas--it never occurred to me, but I can see how that would be difficult for him to watch. It'd be kind of like an animal rights activist listening to someone shrieking at a dog. So, I can see how it would take some mental gymnastics to accept the way they interact. I also like the description of Johan learning Japanese. It seems plausible, and it was definitely something that benefited by explanation!

Overall, this is a sweet story, and I enjoyed it a lot. ♥

Ack. I was replying to this a while ago. But I got, distracted. >.> Sorry about replying so late

[speaky_bean]

It's okay, that happens to me too. I'm on break from school right now, so it's really easy for me to get distracted by things with my family and other non-Internet things. I'm very bad with the Internet during this time of year. I do try to keep up with people to some degree, though! I was actually planning to read your other stories as well, and I do intend to...once I manage to wake up before 1 PM, and thus have some time to myself. XD

Ah shiny things, why must you be so shiny and distracting? Yeah I’m on holidays too but these are my summer ones and I’ve been working quite a bit. Which is good as I need money for uni but doesn’t leave much time for other things
