Hiya, WhiteZeo!

How is the . . . what was it . . . Random Rangers? How is the Random Rangers' Red Ranger doing? ::giggles:: ;) As I expected, I loved this part. I think you can add this to the ongoing list of Sugarplums weaknesses. Yeah. Thane-y-ness can most definitely be added to the list along with Merrick-y-ness. I dont know what it is about them that make me melt. I love them to pieces!

King Parn! I almost forgot about that guy. Okay. I confess. I did forget about the guy. It isnt my fault that he fades into the background when it comes to the storylines. It is like, sure you know that he is there, and you know that he is the king, but where the fic is concerned he isnt that important. I know. I am trying to justify my forgetting Parn. Is it working?

He heard nothing, and that caused him greater worry.


Hmm . . . I am thinking that this is probably the way that Thane reacted when his mother died? Did Thane lash out like that when he was a kid? But I must admit that if I came to the door and heard nothing, absolutely nothing, I would be worried as well.

"I can't remember what she looks like."

"Who?"

"Momma." Thane turned, his broken, childlike voice giving way to the tears that quietly streamed down his face in two neat lines. "I can't remember what she looked like; I don't want to forget what Opaline looked like."


Awww. Poor Thane. I could totally picture him sitting there, staring blankly as he says that he cant remember his mother. That must have been rough. To realize that he cant remember the most general detail about his mother must have been incredibly hard for him. But for him to come to the realization that he might forget Opaline the same way, that her face would slowly fade from his mind as time passed . . . that made me feel for him even more.

That was cute. It was very sweet way to end the very emotional part for your transition. The way that Parn was consoling Thane was really nice. The way that he answered the question that Thane didnt ask . . . The way that he let Thane know that even if he forgot what Opaline looked like his father would be there to remind him, to do this exact same thing, recalling how beautiful she was, telling him how her hair looked and how her eyes sparkled.

Now, what does a girl have to do to get a brother/sister part? I would like to see some Thane Shayla interaction if possible. Heehee! It was a mistake throwing that Thane centric part my way. Now I have Thane-brain. (Haha! That is so silly sounding I should just take it out, but I wont because I am a dork, and I dont need to hide it.) Hmm . . . The only thing that is better than Thane is . . . Merrick! Oh! Of course I would like a Merrick/Shayla part as well. That goes without stating. ::grins:: I could always read a Merrick/Shayla part.

Oh! And you know what? I may be sick, but I keep wanting to have that fantasy world of Animus dream. I think it was just so cute, bright, and happy. Why wouldnt I want that? Maybe because it would be living in the wonderful world of denial. ::thinks:: You know what? I think I like denial. If it is a place where Opaline is alive and everything is good and right in the world of Animaria, I am all for it! ::giggles::

And this is going to sound completely random, but it is connected . . . If you are wondering how I had the time to write the feedback, it is because my day on Tuesday was . . . odd. I went to my first class, and the professor never showed up (I waited for over half an hour before I joined around ten others and walked out). I went back home, took a nap (because I was sleepy after waking up at six). I went back to school to meet my friend for lunch. After lunch I went to class, where I stood in the hall staring at the class cancelled notice taped beside the door. I couldnt believe that my class was cancelled. I had to recheck everything before I realized that it really was cancelled. Crazy day. At least I was able to read and note the last part to LoA, which is why I am posting so soon after the update. So it was good thing for WhiteZeo! ::grins::

For your soul and mine must always come together."
