[@Prince of Seraphs] Hm. Well, firstly, I figured the easiest way to overthrow Feoras as a ruler is by killing him. I'm sure there's other methods, but that's the most straightforward. [@BlackPanther] The impression I got was that excluding Spring was part of the intention. I'm not clear how allying with Fall, knowing that will eventually include Winter, will be of greater benefit than the cost for alienating Spring, and possibly allowing it to be overthrown, but that's just me. And yup, it seems Feoras is impulsive, because he thought it through /after/ he said it. =P What I meant by guarantee was that a friendship here is assumed to be a close alliance that would not be betrayed, not that he can guarantee Falk will accept. As to you being female...I honestly can't say I noticed, but then again I tend to be a little strange online in that I go between username and avatar, and am wrong as often as not. I'll try to remember. ^.^;; That said, I don't think I've referred to you with any third-person pronouns recently.
