Thanks, Mellie!
Mari put her hand on his chest. “I know you haven’t said so, but I can’t help but think that that Healer Zor-Te person delayed your surgery for some nefarious reason.”
Well, I'm wondering about that one, too.
I was thinking more along the lines of those occasional physicians that have a god complex and get VERY upset when you disagree with them. I haven’t seen too many that take it to extremes, but there was that doctor that threw a chart at me years ago because I asked a question. I worked with one doc years ago that would get very upset if his patients questioned anything he recommended and if they didn’t ‘back down’ and accept what he said as law, he would dismiss them. So Zor-Te was one of those types.
This so had me laughing! What a way for Zara to find out!
And wait till she actually gets hold of Ching.
Or maybe her feelings were directed at someone else? Like Ben? So, how real is their relationship?
Hehe… We’ll see.
Hm, I start to dislike this Zor-Te character. He doesn't happen to be related to 'Lady Edrika'?
Nope. Just a jackass.
Two mez, that's sightly less than two months, right? (I believe you claimed that a kryptonian pregnancy took nine mez = seven months...) That'd make the time about six weeks. Doesn't that help with the issue of K'al's and Rya's impropriety?
Yes, two mez is about six weeks. And yes I said nine mez = seven months. And yes that helps the issue of K’al’s and Rya’s impropriety immensely. No one on New Krypton needs know anything about the time difference, do they?
Is this the ruler or the wife speaking?
Mostly ruler. I can imagine what wife would like to do… He’d
really suffer the consequences, wouldn’t he?
I think poor Bruce deserves some more in the way of respect. Or would Hannah like to be asked whether she is in stripesy mode?
She’s still getting used to the whole ‘hero’ idea. She doesn’t quite realize the seriousness of it all yet. And Marilyn corrected her right away.
Well, you already know how much I liked this part. Do I have to repeat myself? Okay, okay. It was wonderful. Not that much in the way of tension and action, but a lot of interaction. Something different, but very well done.
Yes, thanks for your wonderful beta!
Thanks for your comments, Stuart!!
I'm intreged to learn more about Zara's visit. I hope that together with Clark they sort out K'al - the spoilt brat needs a lesson or two in good manners and behaviour. Or perhaps the Lady Raya might have that wonderful task.
Yeah, he’s a spoiled brat. Los should be the leader instead of him (but he won’t be). But he
did bless his brother’s union with Marisol, so he’s not completely heartless… He does love his brother.
Ah.. Shame... Evil Alex has been arrested. Get that Kryptonite out of his legs and throw him into the toughest prison and throw away the key. Maybe send Mayson Drake there too? (well... here's hoping...)
Yeah, it might serve Mayson right to go to prison.
Please let their Royal Highnesses - Lord Los and Her Majesty the Queen of Wheat get married quickly and let Clark, Zara and K'al put that spoilt madam in her place. Perhaps the T5/Mike/Lois can be employed to provide evidence to get that lady off from Los's back? - I'm certain that Ann would be very happy to see Lois in the story again! Of course K'al can be over rules as his father, who technically is still the Great Lord of New Krypton has spoken, neither Zara or the spoilt brat could say anything?
Oh, Lady Edrika will be put in her place all right. And yes, Clark might make his will mightily known.
Of course if that troublesome lady should appear, I'm certain that Meowoof and Two Bark could scare her off without any other interuptions - just remember how you wrote that she sorted out the Mutilator....
Yes, those mighty swipes are wicked. My cat, for whom Meowoof is somewhat based, has a brain injury that sometimes results in seizures. The last time it happened, Rascal was in my arms and his claws came out and I got some nasty swipes down my arm. I had to have a tetanus shot, and one of those ‘scratches’ was deep enough for stitches, but I used the glue stuff instead. And just think how bad it would have been done if Rascal had done it on purpose? Maybe Meowoof will have to do something on purpose - and make her the hero!
Thanks, guys!!
