O-Oh my lord... You--my dear---are absolutely fabulous. :D
-just--died, like seriously-

Just--the ending, especially. Kanda...oh, poor Kanda. I can'r help but picture his face there, too. Though I must admit, I'm a bit worried for Bak now... xD

Also. Fou's final attempt at an explanation. Brilliance. Pure, and utter brilliance. You are seriously my hero right now.
...Again. :'D

The picture, as well, is simply lovely. I love your use of shading, and colors, and just--guwaaah. -headdesk-

Sorry for the lack(?) of coherency in this comment, by the way. I'm dead tired, and half asleep. Was actually planning on reading this when I got up, after checking my f-list---but then I saw "Bak", and had to read. And then I read, and had to comment, and---yeah. You just made my life;;;

I can't imagine what happens as a result of the phone call. A short explanation that explains everything, a short explanation that explains nothing, some future act of violence, or something too mysterious to contemplate? Or maybe Bak's phone will explode.

Fou may be a bit confused herself, although she IS quite flustered under the circumstances....

Glad you like the picture too. :) It was fun to color. I like shading skin and coloring things pastel shades.

And thank you for commenting and sharing your thoughts! *joy*

Oh you. YOU WONDERFUL PERSON YOU! XD

THANK YOU! I LOVE THIS PRESENT, PRESENTS SO MUCH! ♥

Let's start with the fic first, okay? I absolutely love how you portray them! Bak being dense, silly and hilariously narcissistic, Tuyi's overprotectiveness and Edgar's attempts at resourcefulness (and obviously failing XD) And of course, Fou being... well, Fou! XD

The family scene and the exchange between his parents were just adorable and heartwarming! And I love how Fou takes her job so seriously, and for once, actually failed at it. But she tried, oh how hard she tried~ XD No wonder she has to rest immediately, obviously explaining the facts of life to an idiot is much too taxing.

... Next time she should just show it to him, obviously nothing beats live demonstration! ;D /shot

I really love everything in this fic, every line! And this will continue to remind me why do I enjoy the Asian Branch so much XD Brilliance and idiocy in a package XD

And the last line was a killer! Oh Bak, this would end up being your last birthday 'one of those ( ... )

I'm so happy that you like it! &hearts I've been wanting to do things for people on their birthdays (if I think of something fitting) since some people thought of me on mine. And after I told you this tale in pictorial form I may have mentioned that it could make a fun fic, too, so what better occasion?

The characters were fun to write--I love the Asian Branch characters even if they're not my usual subjects. <3 (Edgar and Tuyi have certainly increased my fondness, too...) Fou gave it a shot, and that's what counts!

If she doesn't the Chang Clan may have no future. Clearly she's GUARDING them! Feel free to write said fic. :P

Bak had to turn to the one person who does know. Not his fault it's Kanda.

Fou>>>>>>Earl's lap dance

I made a sketch of Edgar and Tuyi as well, but sadly, I couldn't get a result satisfactory enough to post. Maybe some other time.

SO HAPPY you enjoyed, and since it's still the 10th here, have another Happy Birthday. :D

I can assure that this little piece will cheer me up every time I feel down and depressed (like now, but let's not get to that, I feel tired just thinking about it). It's really sweet of you to do this for others, hopefully I'll be able to do the same for you when your birthday comes around ;)

If inspiration stikes, I hope you'll have the chance to write them more often ;) But yes, what matters is Fou made the effort to enlighten Bak over such an embarrassing subject. Bak is just an idiot not to get the right signals XD

Fou must do it, for the sake of the Chang clan that she has sworn and born to protect! You can't rely on Bak to get this right on his own! XD

Common sense (and fear) tells me that you do not go to Kanda, even if he does know!

It's not even worthy of comparison!

*__* Please share when you feel like it! There's too litte of Edgar and Tuyi's sketches (and baby Bak with nanny Fou), I demand for more!

:)

I'm glad to hear that it cheers you up, although I hope whatever unfortunate things have happened today clear up soon. Don't worry about reciprocating! I don't always manage that myself--although I hope I can think of something for leafyaki, since she gave me baby crows! One of the reasons I planned for the approach of people's birthdays.

Inspiration levels are low, sadly. But you do know the setting of my current project....

Guardians have a broader job description than expectedThere was a problem, and Kanda was the immediate solution, and men of awesome know no fear. Or common sense ( ... )

I...hope it's not too bad of a thing....

I swear I write the stupidest things ever. It's fun.

Maybe you should be feeling sorrier for Bak. >D

Oh those poor boys xDDD [especially Kanda... I really wonder what his reaction was to Bak's phone call xDDD]

And just... I think teaching your child about the birds and the bees at twenty nine isnt the best idea.. though i need to worry for Bak now @_@

Awesome job though, I lol'd like, super hard xDDD

His reaction might involve instantaneous long-distance death...who knows? I'll leave it to your imagination. >D

Yes, it's not a very good survival strategy, and so embarrassing to the 29-year-old concerned. Let this be a lesson to us all.

Awesome--thanks for reading!

Pfffffffffffft, Lol xDDD *is imagining it*

Indeed... I wonder what Bak's reaction would be once he actually found out... I think it will include stuttering and Bak passing out xD

You're very welcome! c:
