>> I love how they (and Groundhog especially) not only patch what Cassandra missed out on from her parents, but also explain things along the way. <<
Yay! That's more common in T-America than here. Groundhog is extra good at it because he's a dispatcher; he has special training in crisis control. For the kind of person who gets argumentative in an emergency, explanations of why a given step is necessary or preferable have a much higher success rate than "Do as I say." It also helps to soothe anxious people when they know what's happening and why.
>> Makes it all work a lot better (and also lets her be more able to cope in future situations and/or to reciprocate). <<
That's the idea, yes. It also means that Cassandra is taking her emergency imprint largely from him! That will give her better-than-average skills.
