I'm almost done with Desert Thorn and I have two things I need to bring up:
1) I swear Claud is going to have a Gretchen Weiner's moment soon and go all "I don't my father, the maejester (or what whatever his title is), would be too pleased with this."
2) I'm doubting that Dane was really as bored as led people to believe when he was benched *wink wink*
