there are innocuous folk songs, but we regard 'em with scorn

Somebody tell me that I'm not allowed to start writing a Breq/Methos story until I have finished revisions on yuletide. And at least another chapter of wip.

No but today I learned that when Breq decapitated that Itran saint, there was a delegation of weirdly pale-skinned travelling merchants watching from the audience. Methos would be so into that.

I don't remember that scene (was it in the first book? I haven't read beyond the first book (yet)) but yup that sounds plausibly Methos

[melannen]

It was in the short story that takes place during Breq's time in the Itran Tetrarchy (which is available free online and doesn't spoil anything past the first book, if you want to read it: She Commands Me And I Obey). I don't think Methos could be the merchant who actually has a speaking part in the story, not his style, but he could definitely be with the group.

Oh excellent, thanks for linking, I shall have to read that!
