I didn't want to post anything until I was certain I was ready, but I have completed the next chapter of "The Rat and the Dragon" on time! There were a lot more changes needed than I originally thought, so I sort of had to start over and I didn't know if I could. For once, the two spoke in harmony and *poof* there were words. Channels like that are nice. If only I could get that from Kupper. Friend, where have you gone? Probably busy blowing shit up.... Anyway, that's right, there's a chapter for tomorrow!
Remember how I said their hate is the most important statement of the story?

Stepping back once more, Cylthan could feel the heat of Roan’s body behind her. She didn’t want to admit it felt like a relief. If anything, it infuriated her that he was the safest one to have at her back right now. Glaring over her shoulder, she bared a sharp tooth at him. “I hate you.”
She definitely saw the grin that came and went while he tried to hold his concentration. “Prove it. I’ll believe it if I’m dead by the end of this.”

They say that a lot.
As for next week on Dragon Tamers. Is it finally the show down between the young and old? Or perhaps Roscrow can talk his way out of a fight? No, of course not. The Q'Hu wouldn't know civility if it came up and shook their hand... right?
I'm afraid civility will have to slap Roan with both hands before he comes around....
