Well, though it wasn't a particularly *strong* implication, it's definitely present. At least, I (and several others on this list) seem to have made the inference initially. I'm away from books just at the moment, but I recall the relevant passage being just after "Zerika" finally appears. As I recall, Kyttran says something to Piro along the lines of "Ah, since you know her, that explains why she sent for you" (with the "she" being ambiguous between Zerika and Sethra). In fact, Kyttran may even believe that Zerika sent for Piro, as he doesn't seem to have known when she arrived. It's a minor point, and probably doesn't require a fix. (Though I'd love to see a patch to future editions of Orca to fix the "Stony's death" problem...) Alexx P.S. Hallo the list!
