Hiya Feathers! It has been far too long! So pleased to hear from the forum's premier demon lord once again! Thank you for all your bright compliments! You're entirely right about this being one of the lighter, more carefree chapters. That's certainly the tone I was going for, what with all the sandy relaxation and frozen treats. These girls will soon be hazarding body and soul, so I was eager they they should have a bit of frolic as well! I'm so pleased that you're enjoying their happy times right along with them! They could scarcely want better company!
