(Or even after? ;-) ) The fact that she appears in /Orca/, i.e. that Vlad gave her his location is spite of the Jhereg al-Hiraba against him, is telling. I can't actually think of where she appears outside of /Jhereg/ except for the scene in /Yendi/ where she's doing Sethra's dirty work; does he mention her among the goodbyes at the end of /Phoenix/? I certainly do get the impression that Vlad trusts her, for reasons he doesn't entirely understand. Max Wilson -- Be pretty if you are, Be witty if you can, But be cheerful if it kills you.
