"Take Comfort" -- new chapter in.

This isn't my favorite chapter, but I let it sit for a long while, and then completely reworked it today.

I'd written about half of Lessons, one of the chapters that I had been looking forward to (Ch 16), and realized that I wasn't happy with it either.  I started mulling over what the problem was, and that led to some thoughts on improving 15.  It's readable, now, I think.  Touya and Yukito sound more "right".  It reads as though I've forgotten about Yue, but that's just because it's a transitional chapter, and I had a few things to set up first.

Doing "Clow Stories" and "Take Comfort" at the same time makes things messy in my head regarding Yue.  So now I have to decide: Lessons, or Idleness & Ease?  Nadeshiko, or Clow?  I think "CS" is going to win out this time, because I already have a later chapter 90% finished.

I think I am going to bow out of this week's challenge.  I was thinking about what I believe in (and I have very strong beliefs), and I don't think I could do anything with CCS characters.
