Interesting viewpoint here, Spiced. It's odd, but in the majority of instances and stories, a fear of Namo, not necessarily as tied up with the dead as much as his foresight and his other job as Doomsman seems to cause unease. You get warm and friendly relationships between the Vala and the First Born with almost all of them except Namo and Nienna. There is a lack there.

I see your point about strong character voice, and I'll be putting some serious work into H during NaNoWriMo and will work on that then. She just wanted to play a bit during B2ME and I decided to let her.

Thanks for your input, I found it quite valuable. I like this story as it is - a little fluff is good in everyone's life now and again. But the points you raise are well worth my thought and I shall do so.
