Wow, no wonder Lehran went abstinent after he lost his power. Forget the fertility issue - one orgasm at a time must seem so quaint. Ahahahaha. Quaint.

That glimpse, early on, of what I believe was his family? Yes! I have so much headcanon for Stefan's early circumstances that it's ridiculous. Most of it will only probably be hinted at, ever.

I think I actually know where you got the purplish hue. With Micaiah's dialogue, I thought about it and decided to allow for both the supposedly formal circumstances of the occasion, Stefan's rank, and possible court influence. I probably overcompensated for these things and her voice is probably too formal. But, I think that impression is stronger in lines like this maybe:

Could she leave his ghost as soon as his scent faded from the air? How many times she wished she could have grown old with him! Instead she lived a lifetime, and - parting ways with him at the edges of mortality - turned back to square her shoulders against a world she now knew too well. Surely she could not bear the rest alone.

I thought to myself that they were faintly Victorian, then couldn't come up with a way to rework them with the same effect without coming off as Victorian.
