| Tiny crumbs of snow fell down in swift, straight lines around her like so many shooting stars. Nice. I've experienced such snow, as well as giant flakes floating down in eerie silence. The casual greetings immediately followed by the fervent embrace was sweet. Hmmm. "loyalties tested" and "one passenger" sounds... troubling, somehow. Hamûjil's humility shows his quality, I think (rather like Sam's description of Faramir); he seems to elicit respect and honour from almost all those around him, if I'm reading the scene correctly. Why else indeed. Um. Is this supposed to make me uneasy? So the chain is made from priceless mithril? (Is the flute, too? Probably not, considering how rare the metal is.) Sigh. I used to spend many happy hours in the corner of one coffee house or another. (Long-handled coffee pot. Like Turkish coffee? I may be remembering wrong.) Oh dear. The gossip is distressing. And, of course, it brings the plan to the attention of malevolent ears, I should think. A strong light source. Hmmm. Something comes to mind... Author Reply: I only meant Jarin can take either Hamujil or Diri. Do you feel I have overly idealised Hamujil? [Why else indeed. Um. Is this supposed to make me uneasy?] No, not uneasy. I have been wondering - there is something going on in the background, which my beta picked up straight away some chapters back, though I tried to make it subtle. Seems that so far I have managed to sneak it past your sharp eyes! ;-) Why else would Diri have come to Levare? Just the chain! Yes, I was thinking of Turkish coffee pots. Turkish, along with Indian, Chinese, Japanese and Persian, is one of the cultures I have blended for the Kuzar culture. Thanks for you comments; it's so nice toengage with a reader about the story! | |

| "Jarin noted with surprise that the streets of Levare were just the same, then she shook her head a little at her foolishness; she hadn’t been away for that long" Isn't it always the same feeling whenever we return home after a while? Thanks for uploading and I'm eagerly waiting to know Jarin's excellent plan. Take care Author Reply: Thank you! I thought I'd made it too obvious what Jarin's idea is, but if you're wondering, then that's good. ;-) | |
