Well, of course! You wouldn't think she'd be trying to harm your
Combat ablities when you most need them. She is a CA afterall.
Now, your no-good cousin and his family who stand to inherit your
cattle should you disappear into the Hero Plane, they _want_ you to
go. And, of course, they'd really like it for the Demon Forest
Foxes to eat you up like so much beef jerky. So they'd give you a
quiet minus on your combat in THAT scene.
Stay tuned for another episode in As The Tula Turns!
