Oh my god, this was hard to write. Went through a rough start, and then had to do it all over again. But it's done, now we gotta get to the next hour asap!

Actually, by my figuring, in this fic Legal!Luke is 16 years old, but he's very mature for his age when it comes to being professional about things so he comes off as being 'adult'.

Thanks so much for the comment, and this was so hard to write, I was really, really worried about Luke and Layton's verbal duel at the end there.

"My word, but that boy moves fast."
YES PROFESSOR, SO TRUE. *gigglesnort*

Absolutely amazing, as per usual. Your characterization is just so...perfect. And DIALOGUE DUELING FTW; I loved the exchange between Sir Luke the the Professor. Ahh, so much love for this~!

Excuse me while I catch my breath... I was so tense reading that last part... I could very well imagine that exchange, and... My God...

Whoa. Ahem...

This is getting very very interesting. >.< 'Scuse me while I calm down... Geeze. ^^;;;

Breathe in, breathe out, and never forget to repeat! ^-^ Glad you enjoyed that part. It will definitely get more interesting. It's packed full of double meanings, so everything they said has so much weight to it. I love it!

Uh, I'm sure this is weird, commenting on a chapter posted over a month ago, especially when I could easily move to the next chapter. But uh.

Your story is marvelous. But I can't help but think that Flora has a little...cotton in her head. I mean, yeah, that's the way girls were back then, but... And then Luke likes her that way, I can't help but think that he needs a Helena.

Ooh, but the linguistic duel between the two at the end was beautifully written. I could feel the tension; I had to stop midway just to revel in it all. On to the next chapter! You won't hear from me again until I reach the latest one.

Not weird to me at all. Enjoy yourself and glad to hear you like the story so far!
