Oh, I forgot that I meant to answer your question in the review about the dagger. She regrets losing it for both reasons: because it's a quality weapon and because Nooj gave it to her. Interesting that Nooj killed his first man in such a manner, although don't forget that Paine has killed before, at least once.
In re the killings: I suspect they each did their first at about the same age. Nooj was thirteen and killed in defense of his group of four. Interestingly enough, it was another group of three males and one female. He has a habit of getting involved in such patterns. He also seems to draw a certain sort of fiercely independent female.
Please write as many more bits about this Paine as you are inclined to write. She is irresistible.
Then how to you explain Leblanc? ;) (That's mostly a joke; except for her incessant sighing over Nooj, she's actually rather a strong woman in her own way.)
Good question and one I can answer. In my first novel, I made the LeBlanc figure the powerful head of a conglomerate who took a fancy to Anjh(Nooj) and paid for his rehablilition! Hah!
I also did a couple of short stories which mocked her; I had decided I liked Paine better as his lover.
Ry does really good avatars etc. She made the one I am using on this comment.

I love the graphic, too; it's one of Ry's.
