I loved the baiting in the beginnning and the "king", the "heir", and the "spare"? Wonderful.
That's what they call the royal princes-in-waiting. Very callous, but quite true. I thought it fit with InuPapa's sense of schadenfreude.
she's being dragged down the same road as her mother was (which was a nice side story, btw, and clearly gave some direction)
Thanks! I actually wasn't going to go down this road, but I picked up on that thread - her father's death - in the last piece, and thought it worth exploring. And, what do you know, it turned into something useful. I'm still kinda amazed at the ways I find to advance this story along sometimes, LOL.
That's why I really enjoy this series - I let the muses have free reign. I sit down with the prompt and a rough idea, and they go to town with it. I thought having her break down about her father's death in front of Inuyasha was another interesting take on the prompt, which was unfortunately rather subtly used here (hopefully the people running the comm won't hurt me for it, LOL).
Now it is time for the spare to act for himself and not in accordance with dad's wishes! It is time for him to side with heir!!
LOL, if only it was that simple...but then it'd blow the rest of the table out of the water! Wah!
