Is there anything sadder than watching Faith dress, mind already out the door, after life-affirming, mind-blowing sex?

I hadn't thought about it that way, but you are right; that dynamic is totally there.

Hippos are truly huge, scary beasts, in the way warthogs and orcas are and sharks and snakes aren't.

I'm glad that element of the story worked for you.

Thanks for the feedback!
