Well....looks like she's kind of exploded and is also scheming.

Elempi, if Eodwine wants to say something, Saeryn's available. If you don't want to have him say aught, then Saeryn can finish up and walk away, depending on what you want and how it will work best with your character and his thoughts and emotions. (Having Saeryn walk away from him could be very dramatic from his point of view, if you think about it.)

I hope she wins the race.

Speaking of which, if I take four dice (one for Saeryn, one for Rowenna, one for Eowine, and one for Leof) and I roll each one five or six times and then add up the numbers and whoever has the greatest sum will win, and the next come in second and so forth - will that be good enough if we're basing this on chance?

I think the people having the greatest chance is Leof or Saeryn, and maybe Eodwine, depending on what horse he has. Flithaf may be excellent, but I've been thinking about this...he's old(er), and his chances of winning against two (maybe three) young horses like Saeryn's or Leof's is really not very likely. But, the general opinion is that Flithaf is a particularly superb horse and therefore should have just as good a chance. In which case, I can do the dice idea. I just want to make sure everyone thinks that would be fair.
