With each chapter that you post of this wonderful story, I get more and more eager for the next one to appear!! More please!! I love everything about this chapter and the character developments therein, and the explanation/evocation of sympathetic magic, and the relocation. Even when you are only briefly (?) introducing another character or place, you evoke them so fully with only a few brushstrokes. *purrs contentedly* I religiously check your site for updates each evening, just as I check the newspapers each morning! (And your stories are often far more fulfilling and pleasing than the news ;-)
