Originally, I planned on Kaida going out with friends as part of her stress treatment, but it would be difficult for her to voluntarily suggest such a thing. Luckily, the last minute inclusion of Tristan in the choir solved the problem for me. I actually was going to write a one-on-one evening with Mike, but Kaida is feeling unusually amiable to her brother today.

blntmaker: It's not given much direct emphasis, but you're right. She is wary of men. The reason for it is probably related to her "boss" Raidon. He did a number on her psychologically. (She doesn't actually remember any of it, but it may have made an impression.) There's also the trouble with her ex-hubby, and she lost her dad when she was a kid.

ghostrunner: Aren't we all?

LanceDanger: When I think of Adam and Eve, I always think about Mark Twain's take on the whole thing. He had some amusing insights on religion.

Peipei: There are three different creation stories in Genesis. The "forbidden fruit" one is just the most colorful. ;-) And yes, the Bible has a sexist slant. It would be impossible not to. (Word of God or not, it was written by human hands in a sexist society.)

trevor: But where will you find the time to build it?

Tantz: True. ;-) And they tried to lie … to God. Lol.

Kaylee: Thanks. ^_^ Yes, this is Kaida ("Gael" from Off Hours). If you think she's fun, you should meet "Eric." XD

kyupol: I always thought it was symbolic (or a parable) – although your interpretation is a new one to me. ^_^;
