I am so glad you got back to this story. I was waiting to see what was going to happen with Christmas and Laura. At least they aren't trying to kill each other anymore.

Made me laugh that you would talk about grumpy, with hungry...that is so true. I need to read all the chapters before, but, this interests me and you seem to be heading somewhere with this..I'll be back with more knowledge of your first chapters...Hanna Marie

Good to see you working on that story, Snod. I'm happy I read it all up to now. I think I feel a little sexual tension building between Laura and Christmas. All your women readers, we, romantics, will be watching for a little love, huh? LOL!
Good dialogue, with witty repartee that shows the personalities of your characters. Good, adversarial feel, well set up for the next scene. Well done, Snod.

Thanks. I'm always worried filler scenes lack action and will bore the reader. I shall have to see if I can get some action (one kind or another) soon.

Yeah, what the heck! It's summer. You've got to fight for attention this time of the year. Entertain us!

This was an interesting chapter. It's the first I'm reading. I find fantasy enjoyable when it's not over-the-top; like this one. I enjoyed the easy banter between Laura and Christmas and it looks their adventure is only beginning.
There were a couple of places where you needed a comma, esp. with the use of though:
e.g:
- I was never challenged(,) though.
usually the use of though like this needs a comma

Hey, Snodlander.
Something about the names pulled me in. Yeah--Christmas. I love that. Never thought to name someone Christmas.
Your dialogue is amazing. I could hear these two and their banter. Christmas seemed like a joker, until the line about pushing a couch in front of the door. Then he came alive and there was a deeper sense of who he really is. He takes this seriously.
Your humor was my hook. I have no idea of who these people are, except that they are hiding, but the humor made me crave the next line. Fantastic.

You're very kind. I was behind someone in an airport check-in who had the surname Christmas. And yes, even thrillers like this I can't write with a straight face. I hope it's reminiscent of those old Bogart films with the wise-cracking hero and the sassy dame.

You're very kind. I didn't mean the end to be quirky, but I'll take what I can get.
