Great chapter! Love's path can be rocky indeed... oh, that pun was unintended, I swear!
Yay for bringing the English gargoyles more into the story! Dodger's such a great character!

[Happa's] stomach both growled and sank at the sight of the grilled rice pastries on skewers, drizzled with a sweet and tangy soy sauce. “Oh, good,” he said with forced enthusiasm, “dumplings.”
I chuckled aloud when I read that! Oh poor Galena, with the best of intentions...
Will any of the tournaments in this Grand Miai, include gliding competitions? It'd be good for Galena to get some attention for her gliding skills!

And yes, I'm very much looking forward to more of Kirin and Ariana's courtship--and Ariana's showdown with the ex! Here's hoping you're faster at updating than I am!

The aftermath of things wasn't as big as I thought, but I suppose that comes from the way their society works. Oh and Ariana certainly has her way of getting things the way she wants, heh.

Loved reading this. As always, I pray for faster updates. I always enjoy reading your work.

Beautiful. Some said amazing story about this.

So glad to see another addition to this one...these two just keep getting better! Like the interaction you have woven into the tale and the motivations that seem to be driving the clan here. Looking forward to see more...and how many more might come out of the shadows and stand by our favorite pair! Well done!;)

...What can I say other than FABULOUS<3 I enjoyed the couples' interactions in the chapter! Aside from the Kirin and Ariana fluffy moments, I really enjoyed Dodger's and Dorcas's interaction!! It's just too cute to ignore!!

I'm glad Setsu will talk to Kirin (Go Elders!!), but I'm worried how Kai is going to act when he talks to Kirin. Glad that Happa has finally seen the light and that was very tricky of Kawa and Kado, leaving Galena with Happa. LOL!

The play sounds like it'll be fun to read and I look forward to the "official announcement" between Kirin and Ariana:) Overall, excellent job and I look forward to the next chapter. So, keep up the awesome writing!

Ciao for Now(^_~)

Ah, this'll be good to see! I can't wait to see how the play goes! Keep up the good work, dark

Oh my god ! Yes you finally updated! I am so glad you haven't given up on this story. I love it. I can't wait for the next chapter.

Oh, so happy so see an update! And so looking forward to the play! That will be awesome =D

This series is amazing. I hope you do an update soon.

Oh, please update soon! I read your other two and loved them! I really love these stories. Brooklyn used to be a fav but now I’m feeling for Kirin!

Update soon and keep up the good work on your art as well!

Hmm, I'd think Kai now has his own impression of the situation as well, which may not really be right one of his old friend.

Wow! I always love your style of writing. Great continuation of Koiji! Can't wait till you add more!

Oh wow. I enjoyed the coriography Ms. Hayden, especially the 'Drunken Tengu Stance.'

Although I worry that Kai's making a mistake. He should be getting more sides of the story from others other than Happa-the duffus-but then, the boy IS Kai's son, so such a knee-jerk reaction is expected.

Hopefully Kai will be calm when he happens on Ariana and Kirin.

YES! I'm so glad you finally got around to updating! I was worried when you hadn't mentioned anything on DA in a while.

Really good chapter; can't wait to see Ariana confront Kirin, not to mention what'll happen when Brooklyn gets wind of this. ;-) Keep up the good work!
