Afterword

Hello everyone. This is a section where I'll address some concerns about the story that (hopefully) were made clear with the ending. There are no more steamy bits, so feel free to look away ;)

Why is Yseult so readily liked?

This I can answer by blaming it on the game. For those of you who've played the Companion's quest line, you know that Farkas and Aela are initially very nice to you and Vilkas is the ass-hat who's opposed to your joining the Companions (and I mean that with all due affection). I have no idea why those first two like you at first. I'm going to assume Farkas likes you because he's just a likeable kind of guy and Aela has ulterior motives (at least that's how I saw it). If you played through and read Kodlak's journal, you'll see that he had a dream where a warrior helped him fight the wolf and allowed him access to Sovrngarde. So…that's why he's fine with Yseult. Those four are the only ones she interacts with initially in the story, hence why there isn't much conflict until later with Aela and Njada.

Why do you need condoms in a magical universe?

Because it makes for a good distraction, as Yseult was helpful to point out in the final chapter ;).

Vilkas's "stomach fell into his stomach"? Oh baby, you know how to turn your readers on.

Hahaha…SHUDDUP! I was on an airplane for 14 hours! You try typing on 2 hours of sleep! I'll fix it later…once people have had the opportunity to go back and find it and laugh their asses off at my expense.

Why did you gloss over so many details in the quest line?

Because I was laz- er...this is a short-story and I figured that most of the readers have played the Companion's quest line and don't want to hear about it over again.

Eeew, pubic hair?

Yes…remember what time period this is in. Personal grooming…down there…wasn't a fad or necessary part of keeping up appearahces. In fact, it was probably beneficial in keeping all the nasties out of there when you went for days on end without bathing.

Have more questions? Submit them in a review/PM and I will address them (either privately or publicly at the inquirer's discretion). Thanks again for reading!
