Have Quentyn's two mates already been sent off a this point? ironclad Send a noteboard - 21/07/2011 02:03:15 PM
but then you have to wonder why they were so specific about the number. And they already had some victims of the plague within the walls anyway, no?

Or are they present when we hear about the trebuchet? I forget so easily.
I don't wish them any harm, but maybe it's them.
*MySmiley*

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.
