Thanks, Seg! I find writing about Pine to be especially interesting, since he is somewhat of a trickster and thinks about himself before anything else. So, it's better to take everything he says with a grain of salt! Plus, if you remember, he pretty much bathed himself in the previous chapter, so your idea is not invalid. ;P

Cregga is going to go through a lot of character development, especially due to her traveling with Pine – considering Lady Cregga's character as she appears in 'The Long Patrol' and the backstory I've given her, I don't see her as somebeast who would easily let go of her biases. So the question of whether or not they can trust Pine is quite important to her!

I'm also glad that you like the introduction of Juska. Barlar and Huron are supposed to be reluctant partners as well as rivals, but I was worried that Huron wouldn't make enough of an impression as the leader of the clan.
