That works, thanks [=|:) Hmmm. . . Interesting way to think about it. . . .In the story itself it may be that he is personally having no affect on the way things roll on, however in my own head, he is actually contributing to it quite a bit. . .As far as my own personal figurings and the never ending flow of ideas and thoughts and. . .Other things :P His thoughts and actions have had a silent impact at this point from your perspective :P The explenation for the rebels. . . .Should be satisfactory, but when it come to it I'll tell you first and we can work out any plot issues you may have with it then to make it work the way Alexi planned it, but at that point, that's when the real story begins, so your input will become far more called upon by then. You may wanna start coming up with ideas about what happens when all the slave's are freed. I know I have some very VERY vague ideas(Don't wanna plan too far int he future) but I would love to have you drop in some ideas to work about when the time comes, or even store some here as to not forget them :P Have fun scribbling :P Oh, and again, sorry, I really should have asked, and yeah, I know it was kinda an odd place, but just a note, Alexi is, if you don't mind the assumption, working on the stuff Joseph will need for the auction, and you are free to bring Uwin in should you see fit. I didn't wanna just force Joseph to stand there silent during the whole exchange between the brothers, so I picked a spot he may have something to say, and Alexi is confident that Joseph understands not to say too much in public either :P
