LOL! Exactly. If I see a perfect moment to have the classic "what you thought you stopped you actually started" thing happen, I'll do it. If not... not. I'm flexible.

I've been thinking of what to give her on these lines. She still has her book of prophecies. We've debated giving her "wracked with self-doubt". I like your "overprotective of children" idea, too, though, I'll suggest it to her.
Out of curiousity, am I right in thinking that the Orlanthi aren't really a written prophecy people?
I do need to consider writing up the prophecy proper as well. I also need to decide what happened to the clan/tribe since. (They were definitely a rebellious clan, so all kinds of bad things could happen to them.)
