I like the way your portray your characters. Pierce is interested in Thalassa, but he isn't completely infatuated or anything like that. And I like the way that Thalassa doesn't let Pierce continue with his sexist traditions. (I'm all for a lady who can fight, honestly.)

I noticed the same mistakes as before, so I won't explain them again. That gets really tedious, and it would probably get on your nerves. I'm not exactly sure what a sentence early in the chapter meant. Could you explain it to me? Here it is:

"You know very well that I much prepare helping you for the ball, Aeras."

I actually thought this chapter was pretty cute. I'm not sure why. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
