It's done. Keltillos and I have talked and he's more than willing to return to Southern. He's claimed he'd leave the craft if he knew of any other way to live, "Imagine that I have lived to see the day when a /woman/ has been placed in charge of this craft!"

"Well if that's the way you feel, go home. You're retired from Craftsecond, by the by, so I'll need that charm back. We only have one and the coffers are too low to commission a second one be made."

And the row was on from there. I don't remember the whole of it, not that it matters so long as he leaves /my/ hall. Now wouldn't that be a marvelous stroke of luck if he were to also have a... what do the healers call that again? Heart attack? We should be so lucky though.
