Okay, normally I wouldn't have a problem with a morally dubious woman leveraging her beauty to get stuff, but since it's Yr I can't help but suspect we're supposed to think it a morally licit thing to do.

Uh, Faraday? Yr? Your travelling companion whom you will shortly be alone with seems to have gone more than a little psychotic. Shouldn't you be concerned about that?

I really don't like how low-key Faraday's feelings on Timozel's newly violent behaviour are. It's good that she recognizes that he's posing a threat to the general populace, but he's already demonstrated either a willingness to kill (grabbing folks by the neck, particularly the front, is a very easy way to kill them) or a rather horrific indifference to the possibility. That should be scary.

Douglass failed hydrology?

I can seeing making the Sign of the Plough over someone as being a way of blessing them, it's a standard use of the Sign of the Cross. That said, I'd expect Timozel to be the one blessing the ferryman since Timozel is a member of a religious order!
