Ah, perhaps the accident the other day which dislocated your shoulder again is Auron becoming more insistent about claiming your attention. We cosset them; they haunt us.

I understand your affection for a very long work. My first effort at fiction, Penumbra is an enormously long piece. Printed out, it is more than three hundred pages and has in excess of 200,000 words. Tolstoy would be proud. I feel sure your AGL does not surpass that in verbosity. LOL

Please do not chuck the coeurl story. I am so hungry for a scenario in which Nooj and Paine are at least moderately happy again. Damn that Shuyin!
