I love how they snark! There's nothing better to me than smart, sharp, snarky characters. Particularly if they're slashy--we mock because we love is a favorite theme of mine. ;-)

The questions: yeah, it came up in beta, 'so do you have a reason why x and b?' and I did, but I hadn't thought they really needed addressing. And then I realized oh wait, it's Rodney, of course he would address them. Then I just had to hope it wasn't too flip. I'm glad that worked for you!

Also glad you liked the story! Thank you so much.
