ITL 253

[Mountie]

So I am ecstatic Remin's agreed to Tano's massage. In fact I felt like dancing around on my porch but didn't want to put down my laptop. I was also urging Remin to give up and "crawl on top of Tano and finish what he’d started last night." Yes! *pumps fist*

And I was so proud of Bade for standing up for Orinakin with Xio Voe. Though he was uncomfortable and surprised, I think it is wonderful that Bade would do that. I was so pleased with Xio Voe's response. Hugging both Bade and Orinakin. *melts*  Also loved that Orinakin is able to feel the emotions that Xoe Voe has inside, or we'd never think they were there.  Loved Bade's comments about the bug.

And Go Remin! I was happy he took up the opportunity for going out with Tano instead of arranging for another date. Mind you I see Kudorin's hands all over that one. In fact I see Kudorin all over the whole thing including getting Tano into Rini's room for clothes and making sure all the Bro's are there watching Tano dress and get ready for his date with Remin. Love how Tano responds to Selorin's questions too.

I want to see complete scenes for next week; if Desin, Kudorin or if even Xio Voe show up, what Anosanim does with Tano's hair and makeup, the reaction to Tano by Remin (if all of a sudden he see's Tano in a different light), the kidding or no kidding from his brothers that Remin gets as it will tell how close they are to spilling the beans. I want to see the ride there and if Tano can soothe over whatever reaction Remin had to him cause this is a "date" night and it is different no matter what Remin says. I want to see the people's reactions cause Tano and Remin do go out together and this will be at least outing 4 - Museum, Festival, Market & Art Exhibit. I want to see how it all will work with them both knowing Tano is going to give Remin a massage and I wonder if that will flavor the evening with anticipation on both Tano &/or Remin's part and how they handle the anticipation. And I wonder if Ilanosa will make an appearance, cause Kudorin & his bro's may wait but I'd think Ilanosa is about ready to knock Remin over his head. Just like we are. And I still think it's going to be 2 weeks before we get to the massage but that's OK cause many things can happen between now and the date.

The Purple Book took 21 chapters to get to the "I Love You" With Bade and Orinakin, for Kudorin and Xio Voe it took 5,000 or what felt like 5,000 but was closer to 77 and we are now 31 chapters into The Gold Book so hopefully it should be coming soon.

I agree that it was awesome. Kudorin should totally show up. I'm wondering if, when Tano tells Remin about all the brothers showing up, possibly including Kudorin, Remin will pass it off as "that's just like them to help" or realize that it is pretty damn significant. Rini and Orinakin embracing Tano and telling him they're so glad he came home? That's gotta break through Remin's obliviousness. And you know Tano's going to tell him all about it because Tano tells Remin everything, which is adorable and romantic.

I wonder also if Tano realizes that he's in love with Remin, that the love he has for Remin is so very different from the love everyone else has for him. Tano's got to know that something is unique about it, but does he realize the extent?

And I have to agree with Bade: Orinakin spends the majority of his time trying to make other people happy and Xio Voe takes him to task for missing one dinner just days after finally coming home? Let the man relax with his own husband in his own palace, for goodness' sake! And I'm glad Bade and Orinakin had the talk they did about Bade not hiding thoughts from Orniakin, however well intentioned. For all that his is so incredibly busy, Orinakin is committed to being a good husband to Bade. So many chapters, events, and years (for us) since they they fell in love and got married and those two still make me sigh.

That's so very true CL.  Both Tano and Remin need to switch their viewpoints inside themselves away from the "love" one has for the High Priest as the Anorian High Priest or the love a High Priest has for his citizens.  Remin also has to stop seeing Tano's love as being normal.  His reaction was so telling when Tano said I love you.  Remin just brushed it aside.  Tano needs to tell Remin his love is a man`s love for his life partner and I do not think Tano is quite understanding that yet.

Thanks to Sue, I still get to read ITL every weekend (Matthew still hasn't read my e-mail, and I still can't access the site from home - only from work).

So...
1) I want Kudorin to go in!  *cackle*  It'll be fun to see!
2) We're getting to the 'I love you' very soon, I know it.
3) Orinakin and Bade  !!  I love how Bade stood up for his husband, and how XV just stood there and TOOK it!  And they hugged!  *dances*

Matthew, I want my site back at home!  I can't do this at work! *sob*  Maybe on my iPhone...

[SilverMoon28]

Just to be fair (since Sue is sending me chapters) - I renewed my subscription.

But still!

P.S. - It works on my iPhone so... ha!  I could try reading it from there, assuming I can put the password and stuff in!!!

Thank you Sue  

Vanni if you can still access it from work, and I assume you are using your own password and account.  If that assumption is right then it's got to be your computer at home.  Has it inadvertently blocked your access to the site or stopped the Pop-up's so you can't sign in?  From you chat about it with Shanghi earlier I understand you have tried different browsers, so it has to be your security program or the pop ups.
