There. Greatly improved from any point of view. And you can control your character's reactions.

I'm now entering a period of extremely intense revision followed by a burst of hard work. I can't contribute for about a week. Would a break be suitable here, or would pio like to take over the management of the Smith? A struggle could easily last till I'm back.

By the way, you are going to have to end up chained up, though you can give a good account of yourselves. Malris and Tasa, unlikely as it may seem, are going to end up getting the chance to be the cavalry.

I'll see if I can bring the fight with the Lake Beastie to a close before I go.

Awfully sorry, but I love Latin, and have been lazy/dilettante hitherto, and don't want to make a mess of my potentially best subject...
