| I can appreciate the mixed feelings Bilbo is enjoying, as I've known them myself for similar reasons. Author Reply: So have I: on the one hand is the challenge of awakening a student to something new. On the other is the sheer effort and slog of working with one who is both reluctant and hostile. | |

| Well, that was to be expected. There were signs of improvement, but Otho himself ended it all by bullying Dudo! Bilbo was both disappointed and relieved. A perfect description of the situation! Author Reply: Otho had clearly been spoiled by his mother, and had also been infected by some of his father's disdain for Bungo's family. He was also used to getting his own way, and he didn't like Drogo or Dudo. Yes: I think in some ways, Bilbo would have liked the challenge of drawing Otho out, but he knew it would be a long hard slog, with very little support from Otho's parents. So: ambivalence over the unsatisfactory ending of things. | |

| Alas, poor Otho! I really think Bilbo might have had an impact on the shaping of his character if they'd had more time. Author Reply: It's quite possible; that might make a cool AU! Sadly it wasn't meant to be, and I am afraid any possible progress was undone when Otho bullied Dudo. | |
