Freckles! Awwww, that's adorable that he counts them! Of course, if they weren't already in love, it would be creepy as all get out, but since they are in love, awwwwww.
Oh, Sjerk-face did it. Seriously, I cannot remember his name, and it seems as if I would be giving him too much credit, if I did.
THEY CUT HER HAIR WHILE SHE SLEPT?!?!?!?! I don't care if she hated it, you do NOT cut someone's hair without their permission, let alone while sleeping. The ONLY reason to do that is to prep someone for emergency brain surgery!
I just...
GAh.
They wanted her to speak, but only one of them ACTUALLY let her speak?! Absolutely no doubt about it. They are Irena's people. BARLGE!!!
STEEEIIIIN! I just... Seriously, you say that Majnun slapped him once? Obviously NOT HARD ENOUGH! He hasn't LEARNED anything. Not about people! Certainly not wisdom!
OK, deep breaths...
So close! So close!
Oh, she's STEIN'S "pet project"? Oh, really?!
No!!!!
GASP! he's going to find out! He's going to find out! OK, I'm glad Stein was at least fascinated enough to save her from Irena's "mercy." HE"S GOING TO FIND OUUUUUTT!

WAAAAAHHHHH!
I love how he looked under the bed, as if she were one of the spoons.
Awwww, Lucas! So sweet and cute, and I adore him already, and want to give him a hug. And thanks, because I needed that just then.
What? But?? NOOOOOOO! Do'n't DO this to me, STein!
"512S"?! Come on! They can't even call her by her NAME?! Surely she told them that, at least. Hating Stein, again. NO feeling heart in him, I swear!
Oh, gee! I'm failing! That means I should turn down the MOST VALUABLE HELP I COULD EVER RECEIVE! Yeah, That's really logical there, STein. Idiot.
Oh, yeah, he's given her every reason to live, except, you know, actually treating her like a human being.
I want to strangle him right now. The last time she fainted repeatedly she had literally just woken up, with an electric shock, from 2000 year hibernation and was just told, with no sympathay whatsoever, that her lover was dead and her entire world was gone, and every single person she'd ever known was long gone. Of course she fainted! It wasn't the godhood that fainted her. It was the absolute horror of what she was being told, you IDIOT JERK!!! tHERE IS NO EMOTICON FOR THIS!
Oh, for goodness, sake! You're even going to resist a LETTER?! idiotdirtbagjerkfacearglebargle!
HOORAY! He's going to write the letter! Just PLEASE let that stupidtwitjerk actually deliver it.

Gasp. It's a really good thing that I am being called away now to help with dinner.
Huh. that didn't take long enough.

Oh, this was so sweet, and I needed it, and it still had the dark stuff in there. Jack doesn't even know who his own mother is? They had to give the boy to a servant, in order to save the lady-in-waiting. As if it makes any sense to blame HER, rather than the horrible soldiers, but that's how the world often works. I do love Soliana's mother for it, though, including rooting for the two of them to marry for love.
Chilling. Already being stalked by stalker-monster-god.

OK, I am ever-so-slightly revising my thoughts on STein. I still despise the man, but I don't think he's so much heartless, evil and cruel as he is an absolute idiot when it comes to people.
Also, the letter was beautiful, and the fact that he gave her means of contacting him should speak VOLUMES to anyone with a brain, but Stein isn't anyone with a brain, so I'll just not go there.
Hooray! She's got her spunk back! Gee, it's like, treating a person as a PERSON, and showing them some respect can actually give them some will to live, whereas locking them in a prison with a bunch of incessantly beeping machines can, mysteriously, drain them of the will that they already have. Gee. Who knew? Not Stein. And certainly not Irena.
They have to meet in person, soon, or I will explode.

That's a lovely letter, and if Jack doesn't respond right, I don't know who he is, anymore.
AAAAHAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I KNOW this part!!!! I didn't know who it was, because I'd only ever read Willow before now, but AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! OK, I have just significantly upped my opinion of Stein! HUZZAH!

OK, I don't remember exactly how or when I got linked to this chapter before, but it was during Willow, and now I understand so much more! Chrys did become a priestess, but for some reason, left the order, and was free to marry Isidor. Stein is actually growing on me, now, but I still dont' understand how IS and Crhis could raise him to be so utterly clueless about how to deal with people?! but then again, he never did get it as a child, with all the Why, why, why, which is, if I recall correctly, what got a certain ancient greek scholar/philosopher killed. And when his students came to break him out, he asked "Why?" and finally admitted that he knew he annoyed the heck out of people, and took the poison anyway. I thk Sophocles?
Anyway, STein is growing on me. Knowing that despite his cluelessness he actually cares about Soliana, as a person, is really helping.
Also, so cool to see that Willow comes 2 generations before this, and somehow Chris and Is don't age (MAGIC!), and Robert is there ! Coooooool!
I do hope that Soliana DOES write, and for goodness' sake, woman, sign your full name!

Also, so she can't use her full name because STein said so? GRRRRRRR.
Daqncing! Why would her father disapprove of her dancing? Because it's pointe dancing, and not court dancing? Or because she still has not accepted any of those awful suitors?
I love Chrysanthemum and Isidor! LOVE them!
If Chrys looks at her palm would she find that Soliana has a soul mate? 100%? meaning, he's alive at the same time as she is? Or is that ability gone, because she no longer serves the gods?
It is sort of like they are falling in love again, via the letters, but that makes so much sense, because they are who they are, and are absolutely soul mates, so of course they'll fall in love. Wait till they realize it, and think they are being unfaithful to their one true love, in the past, and it haunts them until they finally meet, and WILL SOMEONE SLAP STEIN, ALREADY! Use your full name, woman!
I hope you update again soon!
