Thanks! *grins* It's always been a secret goal of mine to write something that pweople will stay up until an ungodly hour to finish, since I've stayed up until three a.m. reading (and writing) fic way, way more often than I probablty ought to admit to (seanchai's secret goal is to be somwbody's comfort reading, I think she's said).

I can't wait to see the next installment!

Of course, in typical fashion, I didn't get around to answering comments until the next section's long posted and the sequel is in beta *shuffles feet*
