*mourns for lost posts* Although this was a lovely one too and I very much appreciate you taking the time to make it after all that!
your use of viewpoint reminds me of Spinner's End: emotion revealed through action alone.
Yes! Thank you for noticing! It just about killed me, but it was a terrific exercise. I've never written in that particular POV before -- I'm not sure whether "omniscient third" is the right term for it, because if you don't get into any of the characters' heads then surely it isn't really omniscient -- but it's certainly a great way to practice "show, don't tell".
