She knew the deal going in. He didn't court her under any kind of false pretenses. Hell, *she* killed *him*, how's that for a "meet cute" beginning? Yes, of course, there are economic and political imbalances in the Empire (as in all mundane societies we've managed to construct to date) that beg for redress. Woo hoo for her that she's interested in redressing. What I *can't wait* for (hint, hint, Steve) is, what has she done with her Organization in South Adrilahnka?? I love it that that was Vlad's parting gift to her--a sustenance, a reproach, and a political conundrum all at once. Did she just shut it down and put all those people (and herself) out of work? Did give it, or sell it, to someone? Did someone who wanted it worse than she *take* it? (I doubt it!) Can't wait to see! Write faster! Mia
