Hello. It's a little early in the morning still (at least for my lazy bum it is), so if my brain doesn't sound like its quite awake yet, that's why.

I'd just like to say that I think this fic is a real little gem. I've always loved Jet centric fics. In many ways, I think Jet is the most underestimated, underappreciated character in the series. He is also the most responsible, the most reliable, most mature, and the most adult character in the series, and its not just because he's older. It is quite unfortunate that Jet is ignored as much as he is among the world of fanfiction. His character has a lot to offer, and I think this fic begins to capture some of it. I truly appreciated reading it, and I think there's a lot more to it than your other reviewers have mentioned. Although, I do agree with the other reviewer: I don't think that Faye would sell him out so easily. However, with the way she sometimes treat Jet, he might think so, and so it would be an easy misperception for him to make. You word choice, also, made it very easy to imagine it in Jet's "voice": it sounded very much like the language he would used to express himself as well as the ideas he would express. Overall, I think its a great litle piece.

I also would like to thank you for reviewing my fic last night: A little poem I wrote called "No Son." I think your review tapped into a lot of what I was intending when I first wrote the fic, and I appreciated the well-constructed review. Its always nice to know that there are intelligent, thoughtful readers out there who grasp more than just the topical themes of your work. Thanks.

Excellent!!

I like this very much. It is clear that you get the character of Jet. It sounds like one of his many monologues.

The only nitpick I can find (and to be fair to you as the writer, this nitpick is a personal thing of mine so please take with a grain of salt) is the description of Faye as "a compulsive gambler who'd sell me out to a criminal for 5 woolongs".

The compulsive gambler part is spot on but I think at the point of this story, Jet knows that she wouldn't sell them out especially to a criminal. She'd more likely run away at the drop of troubled water and while she can be lazy and bitchy and opportunistic, she's proven herself to have a weird kind of loyalty to them.

But again, that's just a nitpick and a very minor one at that because it doesn't detract from the story's quality and this is a great little vignette. Nice use of words, faithful to the character, has that biting Cowboy Bebop humor and it features Jet.

Very well done. *;-)

I LOVED IT! Very well done! I especially love the way you described Jet loving them even though they have their imperfections. Very beautiful. I think you got Jet pretty on character too. You should do a sequal or continue it. Write about what happens at the end when they do leave. I guess Faye didn't leave, but still you could have a pretty interesting piece if you wanted to. Once again great job!
