Thanks.

I really enjoyed this story. It is well-written, has excellent character dynamics and a fully-evolving plot line.

At the beginning, I liked the way you described Timothy's game of tricking others about his age. That fun little detail of childhood glee really gave him a personality. It was also provided a casual sense of anticipation for the reader to see if he pulled it off. These kind of "mini-challenges" within stories help bridge the gap between plot elements and serve as ways to maintain interest, build characterization, and still move the story along. Good job on that!

The elder vixen is a very unique character and stands out well in this piece. I found myself interested in seeing how she and Timothy managed to get along. Their dynamic is natural thanks to the semblance of a teacher/student situation.

The ending with the hint of Enzo's loss is a great cliffhanger and makes me want to know what happens!

Thanks, you make it sound like I know what I’m doing.

Hehe, well it's important that you sound like you know what you're doing, and you do. Great work! :D

Very nice. The beginning is a bit dull, but the conversation between the vixen and Timothy is most interesting. It seems that the happy stories of young Timothy have turned into totally another series altogether. Especially the vixen's little slip... what does she mean? Maybe the future will tell.

Anyway, enjoyed reading this a lot. Nice to read about Timothy again. Great work.

Thanks, and it even feels like different series to me. In growing up and getting older there has to be some change in perspective and attitude. Though that doesn’t necessarily mean all the innocence and happiness will be gone.

Wooo, great ending. I can't wait to see where this goes.

It felt like the right place to stop. This weeks prompt brought up thoughts of another series though so it'll be at least another week before you see Timothy again.

just keep writing...

Very nice job introducing little facts about Enzo's past. This continues to be an interesting story with some well done characters.

Thanks, glad to know it's keeping everyone interested.

And how long are you going to make us wait for some more of your stories, huh?

I should be getting back to work on those soon.

I just have to get another commission story done first.

*flops the floor and watches him write... I am very intrigued... you better be writing the follow up to this...

*laughs and gives him a hug..... and a cold nose rub...

*watches the ungainly flomp* Make yourself at home. *snicker*

See my answer to Duroc about more Timothy stories.

I really enjoyed this. I think one of the best ways to see what kind of person a child will grow up to be is to watch them interact with their elders. And Timothy scored high marks with me during his talk with the vixen. Excellent work, sir.

To me it’s as much Enzo’s influence as anything else. Plus I just can’t see him turning into like what passes for a normal teenager these days, though I’m wondering if an eccentricity or two are going to show up considering his unusual upbringing.

I would suspect that, given the nature of his 'gift', eccentricity is ensured.

Whoo-hoo, this has gotten so intense! :D The mystery you're building is excellent.

Thaks, still trying to get around to returning to this.
