Well, you didn't lose me, but then I lived that sentence with you.
Um, sweetie, do we need to talk? Your Dekani is a bloodthirsty soul who creeps me right out, eating babies, etc. And what worries me the most is that she comes out of that brain of yours! Funny, you don't seem that gruesome around the house.
Excellent section - full of lots of description and lots of action. We can see Nakomi and Dekani getting closer and closer to meeting - they are going to meet, right? - and I am really looking forward to seeing what will happen when they do meet.
It's interesting how you can write so dispassionately, so that Dekani eating a baby seems reasonable, and bugs cleaning out a wound a perfectly logical solution to a problem.
Looking forward to chapter four so brace yourself to be nagged.
love,
Mom
