As I may have already said on Skype, this is a powerful, moving piece, and a small example of your talents, Kina.
I'll always be one of the first to admit that Nuka is not my favourite character...in fact he's well in the bottom 5 of TLK characters for me...but the story is so powerful and conveys such emotion that even I have to sympathise for him to the point where I tear up.
You are a true writer in EVERY sense of the word...there are great things in your future, that much is obvious. Well done!
*Smiles, then nuzzles.* Many thanks for your kind words, Fuzzy-kins. They're much appreciated.
*Nods.* Nuka has never been among my top favorite either, but he seems to have so much potential. And he's generally a disregarded character, dismissed and unimportant. I'm surprised that this little snippet pushed you to the edge of tears, though. It must be more powerful than I thought. ^_^
Hehe, thanks. This is incredibly brief for me, actually, but I'm truly glad to see you again, Az. *Super huggles.* I would've cast my vote for you as well in the FotM if I'd known you were back. But I'm glad that you enjoyed this snippet, as well. ^_^
