Oh, I was hoping you'd do something "H & M" around Valentine's Day. Hurray! Thank you so much for the story.

There are so many aspects here to like; Edmund being Morgan's "assistant" and having the Beasts brain trust of Narnia with him (although no Jalur. Sniff.). I really like having Edmund ... not quite out of his element, but seeing him in the Golden Age posing not as a ruler but as a simple accountant. Getting sympathy from the other lower level employees for working directly under Morgan. And yes, that was a deliberate double entendre.

Oh, and the layers of complexity you've added to the H&M situation with Morgan's contract with Alan! (He reminded me of Gilderoy Lockhart, too). Edmund's not quite reaction to the news of her contract (and his wounded pride that a King of Narnia would be worth so much less than an Alan). Not to mention Edmund's blindness about why, exactly, the native Narnian's hate Alan, which I find hilarious. Really, Ed? Can't see any reason for Sallowpad to dislike the fellow?

Morgan's dinner efforts (and her insecurity about them) are very sweet and very well done. Also the allusion to the first volume of Calormene poetry. And the second, which you bring up in your color's series, I believe.I love little nuggets like that.

I am very intriuged by the few mentions of Morgan's father -- seems like a very demanding, work driven type. I was wondering how his relationship with his daughter works, and what his reaction would be if he knew the truth about "Harold." So many questions! I do hope you write more eventually. Thanks so much.
