With the implication here being that if they don't meet up until /The Final Contract/ that one (or both?) will *not* survive? Personally, I like the idea of Mario and Vlad as a partnership. Given that Aliera is apparently friendly with Mario (and also, obviously, with Vlad, as well), I find this not entirely out of the question--even given Vlad's current status with the Jhereg. >Of course, if we have already met Mario in the present era, then Mario >probably already has plans for Vlad. My belief, based on SKZB's comments, is that Mario has not yet actually appeared. I'll admit that this could easily be a smokescreen, of course, but for now I'm going to suspend my paranoia on this point. Majikjon
