@cthulu: Keep in mind Aemoten would be downstairs, if Thaler went after him, and most likely notice her immediately. He'd most likely be crouched trying to get the big yth's fangs loose since she asked for them. I may type up a short paragraph or a few with him if I wake up before you get a post in, but I won't advance is side much, for obvious reasons. EDIT: Actually, I'd probably put off posting anything with Aemoten until I know whether Thaler reacted in any manner to him talking to her in my last post with him.
