It was a beautiful story Derren, just perfect, and of course the post works! I may not be able to write anything tonight because /studying :( But I should be able tomorrow night, or Wednesday evening. At the very least I'll be around, and formulating a response in my head though!
A quick question though - what position is Souma in? Is he still kneeling, and has he or would he touch Galina in any way?
