How much do I love the thought of her saying that to Cara instead of Richard? (AN AWFUL LOT). - Me too!!!! One of my favourite parts of 'Eternity' was Cara saying that Richard, Kahlan and Zedd were her family and I'm sad that we didn't get a S3 to see how this developed.
Props for using that mannerism! - :)
PRECIOUS. I loved picturing that little exchange. - The ducks were mostly for faithinthepoor. She does like her ducks in a row. (Whereas she claims that mine have mostly gone astray!)
I really, really loved that the softer side of Cara is as much a source of immediate conflict as the harsher side. - That wasn't originally my intention. (My original intention was to write a comedy, if truth be told.) But it quickly became clear that a torn!Cara would be very different to a torn!Kahlan because of a number of things.
I loved the (maybe unintentional) mirror of that here. - I'll leave faithinthepoor to comment on that, along with the 'untempered' bit as the Mord'Sith!Cara parts were hers :)
Thank you for taking the time to leave such kind and considered feedback. I'm really glad you enjoyed the fic :)
