This is nicely done. I like the development of both women. New insight but so true to character. Thanks!

I love it, the start of a friendship between Liz and Nuala! You utterly, completely, absolutely MUSt do the next chapter in the mall. Your Nuala just grows deeper and deeper with each story, it's wonderful to read.
Also, you know I'm always hanging out for a little more Abe/Nuala ;)

This was so realistic, and really quite insightful. And it wouldn't be anti-feminist to have them go to the mall. I myself am a feminist who occasionally goes to the mall. Sometimes with other feminists. ;) And as to it seeming pathetic, you've clearly shown your ability to bring out the 'poetry' in otherwise pedestrian moments. Besides, it might do Nuala good to acquaint herself with the more minute aspects of human culture.
I did like the part where Nuala felt it would be easier to let Abe 'manage' her, especially because (in a weird, unhealthy, but still somehow sweet way) it showed her complete trust in him. I also liked the observation that in coming to hate Nuada, she also came to love him because she could understand him better. Quite true.
Great fic, as always.

I don't think its sexist to have the girls going to a mall. It's actually a really fun idea. and I hope they have some good girl talk about their men. I look forward to some more good reading, and to see Nuals's amazement at a human mall.

I love how you can take two characters, put them in a situation and make it seem so realistic. I could see Liz breaking down like that, and Nuala being unsure about being queen and going to Abe for advice.

I hope you do add to this. Now, I off to read your other stories.

aw. I like this. We never saw much interaction between Nuala and Liz, but I think the way you write them is realistic. Can't wait for more!
