I guess Frank was a little hard on Leo, but it was kinda implied that Leo kinda aliked Hazel...And poor Frank was always getting stuffed up. Like when Leo said something like "Not all of us can turn into dragons, so we have to make our own..." I was like oh dear...and Frank doesn't really know how to stand up for himself as much. Leo always has a joke at hand to try and fix things, but Frank doesn't really have that. It's not like he threatens Leo or anything; just kinda scowls a lot. I dunno. I think Frank kinda got the short end of the stick a little bit.

As for Piper/Reyna thingo, I respect them both. I do feel like Piper hasn't gotten it as hard as some other characters, but we can't really change things now, can we? Reyna is a strong woman. Piper isn't as strong. Piper is often insecure. Reyna's insecure too, but she doesn't have anyone to lean on. I think Reyna would move on quicker than Piper if there was a huge problem. I see her as a "Okay, let's fix that; what's next on the list?" kinda person; and Piper as a "Um...should I do something about this, or should I just move on?" sorta person. Reyna strikes me as far more resilient than Piper.

Wow. That's a large response...
