Promises 8 / 17
Chapter Eight
Lee was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn’t realise someone was climbing up to the lookout until they were nearly at the top.
Glancing down, he saw to his relief that it was only Cally, but he gave himself a mental kick. What if it had been a Cylon? He couldn’t allow himself to get distracted like that.

Glad you liked this chapter, I had fun doing the whole role reversal thing with Kara trying to get Lee to talk and him lashing out at her. I was a bit worried he came across as being rather nasty to Kara in this chapter so glad you still like him :-)

I'm a huge L/K 'shipper, but sometimes he can be such a lap dog. It's nice to see him bite every now and then. :)

I always think with Lee it takes a lot to make him lose it, but when he does he knows just what to say to push the knife in - that comment in Scar about Kara only being able to deal with the dead guys, for example.

I have to repeat what everyone else said. I loved the conversation between Lee and Kara. This part is my favorite--“You don’t want to help me, Kara, you just want to help yourself. You want good old reliable Lee back, so you can push all the responsibility onto him. You don’t want me to have any problems of my own, so I can put all my energy into worrying about yours.” It's so true. I'm glad Lee is giving a little back to Kara. He needs to get it out if he's going to let her help him, and she needs to hear it if she's going to be able to help him.
I also really liked the exchange between Lee and Cally. I like how you've portrayed them as almost kindred spirits. I hope Cally can find her baby.
I can't wait for the action to begin! Where did Lee go? What's he going to do? I'm anxiously awaiting the next part.
I love your Lee! Great job!!!

I'm amused by the reaction to the Lee & Kara scene, because I thought people might think Lee was being harsh when Kara's just trying to help, but instead everyone's cheering him on!...obviously a lot of people think Kara's treated Lee badly one time too many and deserves a taste of her own medicine :-)
The action is about to start - somehow the second half of this story turned out to have a lot of action, which was annoying because I find writing action scenes hard work and difficult! Plus I know nothing about guns or the military, so don't look at the details too closely...

obviously you do.

Well, I do to an extent.
I think Kara does tend to take it for granted that Lee will be around to support her whenever she wants him, and doesn't always give him the same in return, and I'd like to see him call her on it, as he does in what I wrote. However, I don't think she deserves most of what he says to her in this chapter. He's being unfair and he knows it.
I expected people to react by saying how nasty Lee was being because I think he is, so I was surprised to see that most people who've reviewed have supported his point of view. I've only had one person saying they hated Lee for everything he said, which was more what I was expecting. So I was wondering why. Hope that clarifies what I meant.
