Considering Albia's abilities, it may not be a matter of "choice" ...

Agatha may be de-Lucrezia'ed, but it won't happen without incident. At a minimum, I expect Lucrezia to have one last round of control.

Also, Agatha should be looking for a cure for her weasel addiction. The Foglios have just let that quietly slip without ever resolving it.

[murgatroyd666]

I'm almost certain there's a reason for keeping her weasel dependency. At some point the weasel will reveal that someone close to her is a revenant.

I wish she'd name the poor thing, though!

Aw, boys! The idea of Agatha not going with them is totally incomprehensible! ^^

[murgatroyd666]

Actually, they're right. The idea that Agatha wouldn't want to leave Britain to restore her city *IS* incomprehensible. Or as Vizzini would say, "Inconceivable!"

[therru]

I think you are confusing "leaving England" with "going with Gil and Tarvek" ;)

[madfilkentist]

Either way, we're just as much in the dark as they are. Trelawney isn't just talking about her travel arrangements. She's implying Agatha might be staying in England for an extended period.

[therru]

She may indeed be implying just that. She may also be implying that it might be best if Agatha didn't simply accompany Gil and Tarvek back to the mainland for the time being (implying, in turn, that they are expected to be going back in short order, while Agatha isn't). I just thought the boys' reaction was amusing -- "What? Agatha choosing to not go with us? Why would she choose such a thing?"

[murgatroyd666]

Well, they've saved her life on multiple occasions, and she theirs. They know one another's goals and secrets, and each has information that the others need. The boys have the warmies for her, and she for both of them. Why would they voluntarily split up?

[murgatroyd666]

Hmmm. Albia afforded much respect to Zeetha on the basis of her being a princess ... in fact, a princess descended from a queen whom she believed was as powerful a "goddess" as she herself is.

But in spite of her claim of goddesshood, just how smart and all-knowing is Albia? She didn't know that the former queen of Skifander had died.

Does Albia have any clue that Gil is Skifandrian royalty, too, and that he may even be higher-ranked than Zeetha (due to being born a few minutes before her)? Remember, Klaus told Gil that he had a legitimate claim to the title of "Your Highness."

If Albia ever finds out, how will she react?
