I really enjoyed this! You kept Mestral in character from Carbon Creek - very compassionate, curious, calm, and a little sarcastic. Val was pretty intriguing, too. There were a couple of laugh out loud lines like, "Pink, with pink, and more pink. Also, frills." And my favorite, that no hydrogen bombs would fall on Arkansas; there would be no point.
In this short piece, I got a nice sense of what could have happened to Mestral through the remainder of the 20th century. I'm glad that in your world, he didn't spend it alone.

This... this is not done. I need more

Very interesting. Enjoyed your take on Mestral's life on Earth after Carbon Creek. Good story.

The story is moving very quickly, but it's almost like we are getting to see it as memory fragments of Mestral's life journey on Earth. I'm enjoying it so far! Aww, but poor Lily! Mestral is about to be a single father it seems.

Nice story!

You need to continue this - I've been enjoying this like cray - how long did Mestral live? And Val's descendants?

A very enjoyable story! I wondered if a certain wayward Vulcan had descendants . . .

Wow, looks like Mestral and Lily hit it off quick. Always wondered what happened to Mestral in the years he remained on Earth... Looking forward to your take.

Yay, I'm definitely excited to see a Mestral story on here! Never see enough of him :) Looking forward to reading more.
