Isn't it funny how I can reuse things like that??? The Father, Brother, Peter. I introduced Morgan in BRD because I wanted to use that line and take a poke at the incest and love triangle stories. Edmund making fun of the trope, so to speak. And then, I had an AH HA moment with Jalur moving things along with the just tell her to call you Harold. But now it works two ways -- for Morgan, it was never father, brother, or Peter, only Edmund, and for him, whatever else happens, he is always secure in knowing that there isn't anyone else except him. I waffled on whether to have him make that bald statement, I trust you. And it might go too far. But he does, as much as he trusts anyone.

Oh and plot. Yes, the murder attempt had always been part of the story. Hint -- don't ever try to do a murder mystery when you have a talking Hound who you've established is practically a mind reader, or at least highly sensitive to smells, deception, and emotional states. REALLY HARD. I'd had this whole thing in my very convoluted plot where Teddy had died very dramatically and and Morgan had been poisoned and Jina rushes to the apothecary to find the poison and the antidote and yes, very complex. And there were going to be these great moments for near deathbed confessions that are not made. Ha.
