Very nice. :) I was thinking, "hmm, Copper seems a bit friendlier than he did when he was with Silver..." so the double thing made perfect sense, but then... You're on a slippery slope, you know - it'll be full-blown slash next (well, probably not, but you never know...). ;D I especially like your characterisation of Steel - he even finds it an effort acting "normal" around his fellow Elements, which is a nice insight, I think.
