If I can say this, without being taken for a pervert somehow... I don't know how to word it without being awkward, I'll just have to have faith that the Eyrie community is mature enough to understand this the way it's intended.
That said: If it makes you feel any better Gryph, I'm glad you didn't change 2:4. The first time I read the episode, it had a powerful effect on me. It brought out an emotional response unrivalled by anything else in the Eyrie catalog. While the emotions were in no way sexually charged, it wouldn't have happened without the events happening as they did. So.
