Halfway through this sentence, I stopped and thought, "Oh, so Raul's spy name isn't 'Snake,' it's 'Black Serpent'"...and then I deciphered "Snakey Fellow" and died of laughter. Snakey Fellow? Snakey Fellow???? So I guess both were just nicknames that Geoffrey (or Kit?) came up with, which (Snakey Fellow aside) is too bad, because I think Black Serpent makes a better spy name. Also, apparently this is a translation of 黒い悪魔 and 蛇野郎, except how it's not, but whatever. Other book 12 thoughts so far:
1. Alonso! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ He is so adorable I can't stand it. He is like Vicente's own personal version of Kit except that he's married and just wants to be friends and they are sooooo adorable together, D'awww!
2. Leo! T^T I don't think I realized how much I loved Leo until this book.
3. I can't take much more of the Kaito Worshipfest. -_-;; I swear, half of this book so far has been Kaito going on and on about how guilty he feels and the other characters going on and on about how much they love Kaito and can't let anyone else have him ever and blah blah blah ENOUGH ALREADY, WE GET IT.
4. I can't decide if I'm anxious to read the end and find out what happens or just terrified. ._.
