I imagine I'd quickly shut the door behind me if that happened too! It's interesting to see Kes's new pets (which makes sense since she received some as welcoming gifts in previous stories) and to see her talk about her family (since she was alone in the previous series). Kes having to put up with stupid questions and the mention of Google Earth add elements of realism. Looking at the old story, I also like how you replaced "frequent magic use" with "extreme wealth" as the source of the Chanterelles' arrogance. As I've mentioned before, talking about WWII childhood fears makes the story more unsettling. Tabitha didn't like Kes pointing out there were arrogant hippies, but I sure did (I'm not condemning all hippies; it's just that I've heard some really arrogant and self-righteous ones). I also like the silver toothpick picture you found. That is one ornate toothpick!
