Authors note: a message of thanks

Thanks to all who have reviewed so far: Lilybaggins, Trilliah, Endymion, Aelfgifu and Mariole! Your praise has been thrilling and your advice valuable.

One review said the story was too short. Considering that and the fact that some plotbunnies just won't die a natural death, a sequel is in the works. Take cover, Shirelings! Rushford Bramblethorn is down but he is not out!

The next story will likely be longer and more involved, and will be uploaded one chapter at a time.

Thanks to all who read and review. You make my day!
