Nice chappie, it really helps see more into Matts character, and it's nice to see that bolt didn't pop(though I'm sure I would have found it morbidly amusing if he did). I also liked your explaination of the legal system.

Thank you very much. If Bolt had laminated the landscape it would have been more interesting in the short term, but for the long term it probably would have shut down the story unfortunately. Matt's fun to force out of his plywooded self. He's one of my favorite characters to write, along with Tirith. I wasn't so sure of his angsty little monologue but he's going to have to grow up sometime. Thanks for waiting patiently for the next update. As usual, it might take a while (heck, even my reviewer response takes a while).
