I'm now a parent, who occasionally has to introduce my kids to people in authority that I don't really trust.

I'm not a parent (yet), but I do remember my first reaction when I read that part as a young girl. To me, Cutter's thoughts were "They are still young and I want to keep some realities of life away from them. Play along and don't dare to betray my trust, or else..."

Reading it today, that's still what I get from Cutter here.


From this point on, we were reading slooooowly. It gave us time to really think about all the minor points in every issue. (Which I'm not doing a good job of covering in this readthrough. Busy life, and all that.)

*sigh* Same goes for me with all the visits to doctors and physiotherapy in the last three weeks. In less than twelve hours I'll be in hospital for surgery and I have no idea when I will be home and online again.
