Wedding: not too surprised. . . . .I figured Nicole would find someone when it became clear that she'd never 'get' Reza. But it did present a problem for Reza. . . .though he's happy for her, when she was un-attached she worked better as a vent for his lonliness for EZ. It seems like she was able to share some of his sadness, though not consciously, which helped him handle. Once he realized that he couldn't ask that of her any more and took it all back onto himself it was like a newly re-opened wound with some salt rubbed in just for good measure. I did figure Jodi and Reza would get together. . . .I sorta thought he'd share blood with her to begin husing her as his outlet. But maybe the sex accomplished roughly the same thing.
Yeah, talk about being lonely - both Reza and Jodi!

I don't think he did the blood bond with her because it was such an over the top thing to have done with a "human" in the first place. Making love with Jodi took the edge off and I think helped him pack all the emotional baggage back into the trunk for a while...
I absolutely loved when he made the Commander salute him because he wore the medal of honor. So cool! . . . .pretty clear you're from a military family.
My dad's father, my dad, and his brother were all in the Navy. I joined the Army. Didn't want to get eaten by sharks!

Only right that Eustus saved Reza. . . . .you could see how far he'd come after their initial meeting. . . .I thought the whole 'get the in-fighting out of your system thing' was interesting too. . . . I was impressed with the guy who didn't have a beef but just wanted to try it on against Reza as test for himself. . . .you could tell Reza totally understood and respected him for it. . . it was a lot like the challenges he went through with the Kreelan.
Washington Hawthorne. Human tree. You'll see him more later...
I'm thinking at some point Reza will have to get back to EZ. . . .somehow humans and Kreelans have to learn to understand each other and he's definitely the catalyst for that. It will be interesting to see how it happens. . . . .Of course, at some point, he'll have to take care of Thorella and his puppet master Borge (Is that name meant to conjure up Lucretia Borgia et al, by any chance) too. . . .
You'll just have to wait and seeeeeee...

As for Borge vs. Borgia, I never consciously thought of it, but you never know what my dastardly fingers will type when writing a story!
