I really enjoyed this! Despite knowing it would end in a trainwreck of epic proportions, I can't help but ship Dureena/Eilerson just a bit, and this fic is a perfect representation of how an "academic investigation" between them would happen. I loved the snark all throughout the dialogue and the narration. Thanks for sharing!

Wow. How did it get so hot in here? [adjusting my collar uncomfortably.]

Very well written and while I don't recall Dureena being quite so ... sexually assertive, I say why not? I think you did an excellent job keeping them the dialogue witty, fun and in character.

This is one of the great ones in this little neglected corner of the fanfic universe. Thanks for posting.

I could totally see Dureena doing this; she doesn't want a *relationship*, but an academic exercise on the other hand... Very believable.

whew! *fans self and mops brow* that was a nice little Eilerson/Dureena moment!Fave line:

It turned out that Dureena's toes were incredibly dexterous, and she'd learned human male anatomy from somewhere.

;-)

A great take on Max and Dureena. The dialogue sparkles, and they're completely in character. Kudos!
