So, about the post: 

-Let me know if you think Aliel's reputation is out of character for her and I can revise. 
-Wanted to give you a chance to give Cheriss/Aliel discussion points if needed, so I left it open at the end. 
-Also, that "look" is Voldon's subtle way of telling Cheriss that he thinks things are going to get ugly and is sort of asking for her to come to Voss, but also giving her the option to go somewhere else. She'll be the next presiding Elder anyhow, so she should have the leeway to make her choice on where she needs to go.
