Yes. Cawti and Vlad seem very independent, too (a must for any relationship) but they also jumped into it VERY quickly (even in human-terms!!) One minute they're trying to kill each other, the next week their getting married. (Well, Vlad DOES move fast...:) Also, Cawti had Norathar as her partner, and without her probably wasn't as interested in "working" anymore. So she found something else that struck her fancy and that she could work towards. And all in all, it's not a bad goal, even if it IS a totaly preposterous one...:) :::) Chris
