Good stuff, Deborah.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Believable reaction from the 16 year old Rupert?

I thought so. It didn't leap out as unbelievable or anything, anyway.

Good. That's a relief; I didn't know if I was the only one out there who imagined the young Rupert as a bit of a finicky old man, who got younger and younger in spirit the older he got in years.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
There are those finicky old man types who grow younger. Stands to reason Rupert would be one of them. Lovely stuff.

I'd always seen Rupert progressing from nervous edgy child with chilly father and dead mum (I'm getting to her shortly), to braver teenager with strong sense of duty to...? WHAMMO! The Ripper years, with Ethan.
One of the reasons for Amanda's existence is because it just seemed that something must have triggered Rupert from "yes, I must follow in Chilly Daddy's footsteps and Do My Duty" to "Sod it! Let's get snockered on three pints of straight Lagavullin, screw a bunch of wenches, raise some demons, and go star in Manchild!" And whatever it was, it must have been a honker.
Amanda is, I believe, a qualifying honker.

Ayup, I believe you're correct.
And oh--mmm, Lagavullin!

God, i adore ASH in that show. Pant pant pant. The scene where he lifts the towel in the Turkish bath and shows...no, never mind.

Thanks for all the fish.
Lovely stuff, deb. Really evocative of another time and a place where magic is real.
