Neighbor and Wey*! Howdy!!!!Hey! New Tnt!
Just popping in to check for warm-n-fuzzies. (I'm a wus. I like to see people happy, enjoying life, chilling. It's a problem I have; I can't even watch unhappy TV programs.)
No warm-n-fuzzies tonight.
I feel very, very, very sad for Imoen. It's a no-win situation for her, is it? To have all her faith in her sister forcibly torn down, for her own good. And Viconia's position is, if anything, worse: to be the one to disillusion the Lady in Pink, to make Imoen, of all people, cry...
This is just a very horrible situation they're all in.
I hope they wind up escaping somehow. ::bites nails::
Well anyway, you distilled the Angst quite effectively in here...all the more deceptively so because of the light-hearted beginning of this chapter. It was imho a Laufey-esque twist.
(Hmm, do you reckon you two are rubbing off on one another w/r/t your styles? Sorry, random thought.)
So anyways, just wanted to let you know I thought this was very well done. Bravo!

* No offense intended. There's just a kids spelling mnemonic poem for "i-e" ordering which features the words "neighbor and weigh," and whenever I see your name it just pops to mind. Er, I hope you don't mind...
