It's a hard one to call, isn't it? If she gives in too quickly, she risks just becoming one of his many conquests, but, if she insists on setting too many demands, he might just decide that the game is not worth the candle ...

The future makes it evident that he cared enough to accept the traditional challenges on the way to true love - but I'll bet Adamanta didn't have any confidence in that at this point!

Author Reply: Yes, poor Adamanta is somehow caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. However, I think Merimac's stuttering somehow betrayed his true feelings, and even if Mantha is be doubtful at the moment she has at least this small hope to cling to.

Thanks for reading!

She is making him responsible, and I'm certain he'll prove himself worthy of it!

Author Reply: I think it was very clever of her to make him responsible. This will have him think.

Those two were meant to be together, that's obvious!

However, both of them are not entirely certain. I'd say that Merimac is even more "confused" than Adamanta. But that is no wonder after drinking far too much Brandy. And it was quite comical to see him struggling with words - must have been quite a new experience for him ;-)

So, now he has time to think it over, until Yule.
I'm looking forward to reading more!

P.S.: I just checked your "Merimac Table" and found out that this chapter refers to "presents"! "Drink" would also have been possible, wouldn't it? Brandy, you know...

*LOL*
I daresay it was! :)
And it will have him thinking... until Yule.


As for the table - well, there are a handful of stories that fit perfectly to certain prompts which is also partly the reason why other stories featuring Merimac didn't get any prompt at all. I already have an idea for the "drink" story but it isn't 'ripe' yet.

Yay, an update! Mac and Adamanta are so adorable. I do hope that Violent comes around and that there is no lasting rift between the cousins. I'm looking forward to the next chapter :)

Author Reply: Violet will calm down eventually - if not by herself then her mother will see to it.

I'm glad you're enjoying this. I am getting fonder and fonder of the two of them. I think I will have to write a bunch of courting ficlets :)
