Oh gods I'm still grinning my head off. I'm a sucker for mediaevalist fantasy for starters, and then it has albinos (plural! plural albinos, one story!) and girls who kick sundry arse...[massages cheek muscles] *squee!*
[eventually calms down enough to comment properly] Woo...okay, first I was just having fun with the psychotic litle game of Keep The Squire Away From The Dangerous Pretty Fluttery Thing but then it all got very serious and I was afraid for Tal...(twigged she wasn't just a rather effete boy at the ankles bit - brilliant writing to give the narrative tone a tinge previous, though)...then just so very pleased that she wasn't a clueless transvestite hostage like she could well have been I'd almost forgive her for knifing Tintauri. What a conflict of loyalties for the reader, though! Tints was being what passes for kind for someone unused to dealing with people who breathe, but deading him would be a strong blow for human resistance led by Tal and her family...[one-hand-scalded gesture] ...and after helping him off with

*beamies* I'm glad you liked! Thank you SO MUCH for the prompt! I was totally bemused (and so happy eeee) at how readily and how fast it all came out, at least by my standards ... anything over 5k tends to rebel and jump the fence until I catch it again a week or two or seven later. This time I just sat down after reading the prompt, wrote until 5am the next morning and then kept going till this morning between food/shopping/sleeping breaks O_o

Eek, I'm sorry it ate your life..."liked" would be understatement of the month, considering I was grinning psychotically in the supermarket a quarter of an hour later, having had to rush there before it closed being unable to stop reading. 'hem.
Hey, it worked. And Mulan doth rock several kinds of kasbah. Now I'm back from the shops, another thing - I think the horse should move a bit more, it's a scarily still, quiet horse and nobody seems to care...also, Azzie chipped in that a decomposed zombie would be removing maggots by feel, as eyeballs are the first to go.
I still think you could feasibly swap the possums and rats around. Or indeed introduce the indomitable Dame to the story, if only to chase* manners into Ser Madaire...
(*I should really mention how I adore the way the winterknights will suddenly decide to move like snakes, too)

Geez, don't be sorry! :P It's been far too long since I last had a prolonged Can't Stop Scribbling fit, even before my silly summer block. It feels good! You are rocksome!
Hmm, they're all fairly quiet horses now that I think about it (then again, ask Becca - she'll tell you horses REALLY aren't my thing XD). They should splutter and make more of those horsey noises. Swoon before my expert terminology.
Azzie and Tintauri talking shop would be a very graphic afternoon ...
Rats in the woods ... rats in the woods ... I don't know, does that feel a bit venomous to you? Madaire said 'rats' with contempt, as I recall, but Tintauri's mocking without much personal emotion (beyond being rather impressed).
Dame Edna could be the heroine of the story! I could remove Tal altogether. She could take that icky creep Madaire on any day.
Thankees for those, mighty Cecily! :D (Live, horses! Liiiive!)
