Oh that was just lovely. Part essential Sanzo, part teenager. As predictable as weather, no? And 'stealth gentleness' - trust the monk to make that one of his weapons! Thank you!

Author's Response: Thanks so much for your thoughtful review. ^^ I don't write much Sanzo/Goku, in spite of being a fan of the pairing. Now you're making me wonder if I shouldn't reconsider that. I'm glad that you liked this so much!
