Oh, I'm so glad these two escaped, though I am sad to hear of the rest of his family!

I am unfamiliar with the term "scoop" (used in just this way)--I know the Saxons often called a bard a "skald", and that most Rohirric is based on Anglo-Saxon. What did you derive the term from?

Author Reply: I took the word from the Regia Anglorum website. That was how they called the wandering minstrel - unless I spelled it wrong, of course.

I'd love to know more about Oswin's origins. He seems remarkably talented at his juggling and tumbling - but he was still lucky to come across Rhisiart. They make an interesting pair. And, for once, being wanderers rather than comfortably settled villagers and tradesmen proved to be an advantage.

Author Reply: Well, I don't know more about Oswin's origins, either. Not yet, anyway. But since he got away, he might appear again in one of my other stories. My characters do have that tendency. :)
