I for one am finding this intriguing and very enjoyable - thank you :)

Thank you! It's really enjoyable to write, even though it (somehow) keeps growing beyond what I'd originally imagined. I'm glad I'm not completely trying everyone's patience. I promise progress is coming in their relationship. And soon.

Kahlan does a real great job in confusing Cara completely! Hehe! The not-talking-thing? Awesome :)
Though she needs to do the next step to Cara.( And without asking her sister for advice; I mean, c´mon,! We all know that Dennee isn´t known as the most objective one if it comes to Cara...)
Oh, and I loved the paper-pets fighting!!
I hope, Cara doesn´t need to leave for a awful holiday?!

I honestly don't think Kahlan asked Dennee for help so much as little sister decided to offer it on her own. (Really, if Kahlan knew Dennee was confronting Cara in front of other people in the library, she'd basically be mortified.) I figured that deciding that Cara is a heartbreaking troublemaker is this universe's equivalent to "she KILLS PEOPLE, Kahlan, and by people I mean ME." Or something.

Oh, and I loved the paper-pets fighting!!

I don't even remember what it was now, but something in my current reread gave me the idea for the paper creatures in charms and then it sort of seemed inevitable that Kahlan and Cara's would go at each other. I asked a friend if it seemed like a really heavy-handed metaphor and she said something like, "What, you mean symbolic of how Kahlan and Cara want to devour each other? Yeah, no, you're sooooo subtle." I'm not sure she meant that!

I hope, Cara doesn´t need to leave for a awful holiday?!

The good and the bad news: she's staying with Grace's family. But Cat is coming too!

LOL! High five for your friend so! :)
Now I´m waiting for next update... :)

Hehe..Cara is spending an awfully lot of time Not thinking about Kahlan. ;)

Waiting for more ;)

sexonastick December 23 2012, 05:56:19 UTC

What can I say, she's really dedicated to the effort.

And more is on the way! I blame the end of year crunch for this one taking so much longer. Here's hoping the next part finishes up faster.

Oh, Cara - she definitely does not have a thing for Kahlan, oh no. I like how this Cara, younger and not-Mord'Sith, is aware of some 'missing pieces' in her life and herself and is able to recognize her own acts of kindness as kindness. <3

sexonastick December 23 2012, 05:41:27 UTC

I like the way you said that.

Though Cara's version of kindness is still a LITTLE bit like "I'll try to use people slightly less" -- and by extension, she ends up using Chase a little bit more. (Poor Chase. For this entire part: poor Chase.)

Thanks for commenting. :)

swatkat24 December 24 2012, 05:50:53 UTC

Also - because I forgot to mention this in my previous comment - I love the fact that in this universe, Kahlan is having a hard time convincing Cara that she's a good person, not out to hurt her. In the Seekerverse there is no question about that - but here she's (from Cara's perspective) the haughty, perfect Slytherin Head Girl.

They really need to learn to use their words. :)

They really need to learn to use their words. :)

Could probably be the summary for every part of this series.

musicffyou December 23 2012, 05:10:29 UTC

Gosh, these two...what the hell is going on! If you ever decided to start this story over in Kahlan's pov I would not mind that at all! Thanks for the update! I've really missed this story and each time you update we learn a little more. Even though I also have more questions hahaha.

sexonastick December 23 2012, 05:45:39 UTC

There is actually a fic that I've started -- that sometimes takes my attention away from this one, I'm sorry to say -- set in this universe, years after they graduate. The plan for that one is to alternate POVs just because I really was dying to share some of Kahlan's perspective. I guess I could always write a short side piece set alongside the events of this with Kahlan's POV, though leaving the reader to share in Cara's overall befuddlement is kind of part of the fun. I'm sorry I'm so awful?

Thanks for reading! I'm glad you seem to be enjoying it, even if the two of them can sometimes be confusing.

musicffyou December 23 2012, 06:01:34 UTC

Now that you mention it, Cara's attitude in this fic is one of the best parts. Oh and her NOT thinking about Kahlan and anything she does is also note worthy :) Anything you decided to do (future fic or side fic) I'll be cool beans with. The main reason I wanted a Kahlan pov wasn't to get clarification (because i'm sure someday Cara will get it hahaha) but it was to see this under the surface Dahlia and Kahlan back and forth that Cara is too oblivious to realize. That raven scene was genius!
