So, this amazing piece of amazingness deserves a lovely review of epic porportions, but it's blown me away so much with its awesomeness that I can hardly form two constructive words together. Sorry. Truthfully, though, it's simply fantastic. So in character and written so well-- I am so close to fawning. I have to wonder *why* Elphaba was watching Sarima dress, or how she knew her name was Elphaba, but it's inconsequencial. It adds to the allure, somehow, not knowing. I. Love. It.

Awesome job with this one-shot! I wish you would continue you it, but at the same time I don't. It might lose some of its charm.

This was very enjoyable! Very well written with such believable characters. It stands very well alone, as a single piece, like a moment between them was captured to show us who they are. But if you like, by all means continue!

Wow. You seriously don't know how much I adored this piece. Both Elphaba and Sarima were SO in character. It could've come right out of the novel.

This is one of the best-written bookverse stories I've read. You've emphasised the style of paying more attention to what Elphaba says than what she thinks- maybe because she's trying not to think too deeply at this point in the book? And the way you've worded the women's dialogue makes it flow really well.
Also, it's interesting that you've used present tense, but I like the effect it gives. I hope you're planning to continue this! :D
