>Yes, and Vlad doesn't do work at all any more. Unless "soap-operaish" is >a get-out-of-logic-free card, as I've heard is in fact the case... Vlad may be in semi-retirement but I'd say the conclusion of Orca shows that he's perfectly willing to do "work" if it can be shown to be in his best interests. I won't be surprised if, upon returning to Adrilankha, he discovers that certain habits are harder to break than he anticipated.
