Scales: I think I will be saying that quite a bit in the near future...
Velriset: Yes, "abominable" is about what I would say.

“I am not always so harsh, rujholla. But you never gave me the chance to show you otherwise.”
Why could that possibly have been the case?

You want to have put a magical compulsion on Alix? Duncan is an actual villain at this point (and I hate him so intensely!).
You can save Carillon, though; it is quite more realistic than trying to fight the Ihlini in the capital of Homana.
Seriously, why should I care if the protagonists cannot possibly do anything substantial about it?
His hand tightened threateningly on her throat. “Can you never be satisfied, Alix?”
What, are you threatening to strangle her? How hard is it to grasp that Alix might be quite worried about Carillon, too?
