spring's floods nearly all diverted from habitations and travel routes into holding ponds and occasionally people who'd conveniently forgotten allegiances and alliances.

*glee* I love how practical they are about this sort of thing. And what they use for paperweights!

"Figure out how to turn that into cartography and I'll pay you in pigment,"

Apt. And a neat twist of words.

Sebastian is adorable. <3 And the ow over Ruadhan is a nice touch, and worked in well.

Actually, you're wrong on this one. She died, yes, but of old age, less than ten years before the wars started. Made it to the upper three hundreds.
