Yay! You posted! My excitement over this pairing is coming back.

I've always loved your interpretation of Gorobei, just in general. I understand that you use other resources to analyze the episode four fight scenes, but I've never read one that was so in depth (at least, just for my lack of research).

Was he caressing her with his eyes even as she put more distance between them with each step she took? This thought simultaneously incensed and excited her.

Glorifyingly hot. She's keeping her distance while apparently being completely aware of some mutual attraction, since the next line of hers is utter disdain. 8D There's sexual tension mounting and not much is even happening yet except recapping from a different angle (which is the point). Keeping that stimulating sense of sensuality should be an interesting interpretation to see!

I'm glad you like the chapter. I was aware that Goro's commentary might be too long and dry for some, so it's nice to know that at least one reader appreciates it :-) (For Goro's perspective I have to acknowledge my debt to real life acquaintances and experiences far removed from the fandom world, from way back in the day before S7 was even released.)

Keeping that stimulating sense of sensuality should be an interesting interpretation to see!

Heehee, a scene in a future chapter (maybe around 2 or 3 chapters down the road) will be based on one of your Kan/Kyuu drawings ;-D So I should be thanking you for the inspiration.
