Humourous and humourless... that really is Isamu, isn't it? What a great description, Jules. Thanks!

I'm glad it was angsty enough for you. ;) But it's not like Isamu is standing in the way of it; he would be perfectly happy to get to the sex part, if only Rei would admit that she liked him. That's all she has to do. It seems so simple, doesn't it?
