My apologies Lady, I hadn't checked the site in a while and I didn't know you updated. And what a whooper of a chapter this was. I have to say, "YES! Scott finally decides to play hardball!"

I figured sooner or later, he'd would have gotten tired of Logan and Ororo's crap, but the sudden power move he made was superb.

It was a masterful play, but I think it had half the affect he was hoping for. The two of them made some grounds on their feelings for each other. Not to mention the know a little bit more of what each other was going for, which again is a big plus.

But the problem is they didn't make any resolutions with each other either. Namely, they didn't acknowledge that they do have feelings for each other that run deeper than what they show on the surface. So it's kinda like two steps forward, one step back type of thing.

Plus I think Ororo might feel doubly guilty, because of fact that her running out on Logan the morning after, kind of parallels the events around Jean’s leaving Logan. I really felt for her during the end of the chapter.

I think the two of them need another long talk. One that I hope that Scott doesn't have to chaperon.

Another thing I noticed, I'm guessing you're not making Ororo claustrophobic, because the first thing I was thinking of when Scott locked the two of them in the closet was of her claustrophobia. But oh well, excellent as always. I can't wait to see what happens next.


Author's Response: They will talk again. Definitely. And I didn't bring in her claustrophobia this time. In a sense, she is a loner and very independent because she doesn't like being smothered emotionally, so that in a sense is claustrophobia of a kind, isn't it? But it's not physical and literal this time. Ororo's letting herself feel some guilt, and even a hint of regret about what could have been, if they'd kept in touch, even if she isn't big on the whole "pen pal" issue. Scott isn't off the hook.

miss cee! i am so glad to read this. i tell ya, i felt like i had a vague memory of this from years ago but it wasn't enough for me to remember the whole story... so i read it again from the beginning. what a treat! your style, dialogue, and characterizations make it completely natural to have two of my favourite x characters interacting in the business world (including a few ensemble characters) it took me a few hours to read it all, but i'm not complaining. glad to hear you had a chance to put fingers to keys and delight us again.

Author's Response: I had fun with this. I worked in insurance for eight years, not quite nine. I often interacted with people who acted like Selene, Sebastian and Donald. I have a couple of other stories like this out here; I think when you were out here last time, I still had Never Been One for Wine and Roses in progress. It's similar, more alternate verse and Ororo in a business suit. But I like writing this one. It's been easier to harvest some of the stuff that I can identify with, and I hope people reading it can identify with it, too. I appreciate the feedback and praise. Once again, welcome back.

you distracted me from Farmville, thus meaning that was better than anticipated and lengthily delightful! I think what i liked most was that Ro is not perfect in this. Logan is still logan but he's allowed to be... softer, in a sense. i just love your characterizations. The are consistent with what we know and yet they are more.

Author's Response: *mouth drops open in shock* QUICK, crap the crops! Harvest the fruit! Find the lost sheep! GAH!!! ...naw. That's cool, thanks for reading this, I was hoping you would get to. For Logan, it's hard not to paint him as a "typical guy," i.e. one who would welcome a one-night stand and something "no strings." I think he needs more depth than that. You've been a great pair of ears, Taco. Thanks ever so much.
