Aw thanks ^^

Yea, she's tired of explaining. I think you'll understand her vexation with Redwall and abbots better after 'The Challenger'. Durral may be over-sentimental and somewhat cowardly (You can't blame his entirely for fearing) but she treat him with a little more irritation then he deserves. XP Everyone thinks Romsca is dead and Sayna is crazy, pretty soon they'll think /they're/ crazy when Romsca comes back to life.

She's slowly fading, a Flower only (only. Yea, only :P ) blooms 2,000 seasons, and hers is reaching that age, if you do the math. Also, she has very little left. Her fur will begin to turn white and the scars will start to reappear (and Sayna has a lot of scarring, as you can imagine) But it's just starting right now, at least this serious a digression (she's been weakening for many seasons, probably since 'Salamandastron/Destiny' time.

Actually 1,256 seasons to be exact (no, I didn't pull that number out of a hat (well, maybe the 6 part) ;P but the rest I calculated as best I could. Her Flower was likely some 600 seasons old when she received it (Germaine said herself they had been a sort of treasure of Loamhedge, a mystic cure that was bequeathed to her by her dying mentor. They had to have been there long enough nobeast really believed in their power or else the plague would have been cured) Therefor, Sayna can only be around 1,200/300 seasons, cause she's still alive ;3 Mathmatics. My education in them is good for something after all :P (jkjk) But yea, she's a lot different. Honestly the difference would be starker if I'd developed her young self better .. but hey, maybe I'll rewrite it someday ^^

Yea. Poor Shilo takes the brunt of things. :(

I will, though this week/the next will be really slow, cause of OYAN Summer Workshop. I've got to have four excerpts of Destiny edited and printed before then, several pictures drawn, and my Romsca costume finished. SW will go Monday through Saturday next week, and updates will be pretty much impossible. It's like summer camp for writers, so I'll be way too busy to write a thing most likely, and besides, I'll be separated from my computer. But I'll be learning lots of stuff, so it'll be worth it. :P (Not that the joy of meeting some of my internet friends in person wouldn't be enough)

(And I have not forgotten your picture, I promise, and I will get it done. The thing is, my scanner seems to be out of commission for the moment and I can't scan anything. It's really frustrating me .. *Romsca growl* )
