caper_estKiller-Kate and Luke Lackland: 266 words, finally finishing the scene I've been madly cat-vacuuming all weekend in order not to finish. The reason? Turns out to be, the part I was resisting writing simply doesn't belong in this chapter at all. Everything else takes place in one day, and the showdown scene doesn't. Also, I've already caught Fiery Younger Sister's skewering on the prongs of the curse. Whether she buys into the partisans' atrocity for the sake of her cause, or avenges it for the sake of humanity, the Enemy will be trailing peals of mad laughter along the blue hills.
There is an answer to that too, but not soon - oh, and red tigress, it is not a cheap one. To think I once considered writing this character out in the redraft, because I neither liked her nor knew what difference she would make in the end!
Three more mirrors to go in the kaleidoscope: Kate, Elegant Elder Sister, and - I'm almost sure of this now - Bonecold Refugee. Another character I'd never planned to give viewpoint, but now has found her moment.
