SoHS: Musing

[jeriendhal]

The Final Chapter is being dragged out a bit longer than I'd anticipated, mostly because I'd realized that Ali's remaining family would charge over to the colony to see her, once they realized she was alive. Apparently energy and enthusiasm runs in the genes. I think I may end up having the majority of them be involved in public safety somehow, like Lu and Aunt Razi, which Pirate Ali would find disconcerting. Not to mention having a gaggle of nieces and nephews who think Ali the Pirate is a really neat idea, and how in the Mother's Name is she going to correct that notion without crushing them? I think she'll settle for telling some (highly edited) stories from her time with the Red Vixen, with a addendum that if they ever think turning pirate is a good idea, she'll sic Uncle Lu on them.

Also a handmade card is going reduce her to tears. :)
