Ah, *giggles* I agree - this is turingin out to be much fun. But then I've always been a sucker for romance and scene-stealing characters. ^_^

I love how the politics is firmly a part of this - not a background thing but both said and seen to be an important part of the characters' lives.

Very nice, me dear. Very nice.
