Clara's partly a cute little in joke and partly a way of demonstrating the huge trust thing. Like "There are talking animals and all this other crap and some of them might want to kill me. If Kevin says I don't want to know, I probably really don't want to know..."
And I did want to work it into the actual story, but I couldn't figure out a way. :(
Looking it up, apparently it's spelled both ways. One the actual Irish (geis) and one the English from the Irish (geas). Interesting to know.
And I don't know what my deep trauma is about rodent traps apparently. I mean, I really think they're horrible, but I've gone on at length in another journal about my legitimate trauma with poison (I think), and generally think its a lesser evil, since sonic seems like it would be kind of hard on pets if you've animals in the house (which we do). But apparently my subconscious equates traps with bad things (or, you know, unwholesome snacks) happening to Kev or Javi.
(Pfft. Who am I kidding? My subconscious equates almost everything to screwing around with Kev or Javi.)
Yeah, it really is a good thing, then. There're a lot of mice in fairytales. And there are plans I have that might have made that particular misunderstanding kind of unfortunate.
Because the first words out of Javi's mouth when he gets back are going to be that he eloped with his partner? When they hadn't even been dating? Within Castle's hearing? And Kevin's going to want to answer the inevitable questions (you know, the ones that hypothetically could get he and his partner beheaded)?
I mean, sure, no way in hell are Beckett and Castle not going to realize something's up, and maybe they'll come up with an official story eventually, but I don't see either of the boys helping them out with that right away.
I get tunnel vision when it comes to the boys sometimes and forget to do anything with Castle and Beckett, but this is one of those stories where the plot is what gets in the way rather than forgetfulness.
