Thank you! That's the sort of feedback I love too. I'm glad someone noticed Soolin being her detached rational self. For Cally, my fanon veers between her being a health nut and the kind of thin hyper-active person who can stuff themselves to the gills with junk food.

I also have to say that I've never got the "Avon suffers beautifully" thing but it was perfect to hang this story off.

Thanks again! :-D
