Oh yeah, this was delightful.
Loved the character work and overall story, though the battle with the swordsman dragged slightly.
Definitely one of my favorites.
Thanks for the compliments! :)
I think I've read so much Black Library over the years, that I definitely wanted to include some fighting. Everything had been bouncing around in my head before I got anything down on paper - but was pretty surprised that it came out as the longest scene/section... In my head, it was balanced a bit more evenly across the whole story!
