Conversation posts may be a bit short. :3
The last one was so short mainly because I rewrote it. I initially had a couple solid paragraphs down, written little by little during the workday, but when I sat down to finish it tonight, I realized that all the commanding officers sounded the same. They should each now have their own 'voice.' Magdalee is more emotional and easygoing, while Promagnus is more intellectual and erudite.

I've been brooding on how to bring Lanik and Eru together. I was thinking that their relationship could start out a reciprocal one - Erudessa saves his life on the battlefield, and then when she's enslaved, he saves hers through buying her.
