I'm actually pretty sure Fai picked a lot of his techniques to deal with Kurogane up from his Mom -- he doesn't have the I'm-over-100-years-old bonus in this one, so I need to have him grow a bit faster. I hope that woman helped him enough to prepare him. :D

And the sentence you quoted back to me... I'm so GLAD you like that one, I practically kicked it into submission, rewriting it about six times, scrapping it at least once completely, before the flow worked. Sleep blankets are seemingly tricky in English. I'm a sucker for a certain kind of poetry (Rainer Maria Rilke) and that greatly influences my descriptions, I think. I'm honestly glad you like them! :D

Thank you for being such a darling! I love you!! <3<3<3
