Oh. I love the confrontation/acceptance scene.

One quibble -- her image on the ship would remain in tact should be "intact," as "within the quality of perceiving what is proper" means something rather different than "in one piece." The first person to invent a spell-checking program that catches homophones will make a fortune. Similarly, should that be "her rede was better now" just afterwards?

Now I'm curious as to the rest of this universe. ^_^
