Thank you!

Oh, very nice! Fascinating to see events from someone who would usually be a throw-away minor character, and to be reminded that knives kill quite as well as spells (and often more reliably). And it felt right that he set the turtle free at the end.

Glad you like it!

That ending -- I was wrestling with how to end it, and that ending hit suddenly, in a blaze of inspiration.
