Now now now, Noggie. Do not try to unduly influence someone else's character to get what you want.

Lhuna, be influenced by Rowenna. Her charm and bearing are irresistible.

No, but really, write whatever seems most likely for your character.

So how it is in English? In Finnish it's said that a pot scorns a kettle because of it's black side... So aren't you doing the same my friend?

Go on Lhuna and do as you wish, notwithstanding what either of us wishes...

And whether our wishes are of any interest in general to begin with that depends wholly how much weight do you wish to give them... Well, lmp's surely are a bit more important as he's the host of the game but so far when he makes no over-ruling judgements or pre-requirements on issues I think we can do what we like...

And why should you listen to either of us?

In English we say, "The pot's calling the kettle black." Pretty pedestrian by comparison, I think, but it means the same thing. And yes, of course that's what I was doing.

Well, thanks for confusing me, you two.

Here's the thing: I placed Ginna in the kitchen in the first place to fulfill Nogrod's wish, although I didn't know it at the time, and there I would want her to stay. I'm also sure she would love to take part in foiling the outlaws's escape. But right now I can't imagine a reason for her to refuse to help Rowenna. So...do I push my privilege as the writer, or respect my character's, well, character?

There is a simple answer to that Lhuna. Wait for Ealasaide to post the outlaws in to the kitchen so you don't need to make the decision...

I was actually considering that, but didn't think it was an option. Thanks, Nogrod.

Now, Eala, please DON'T wait for me to post.

Well, if Eala doesn't post soon, then I'll post for Rowenna again, including something about the cat having caught the serving wench's tongue, and then.... we'll see......
