Author's Notes: First, let me thank devilc, who deserves credit as a co-author/beta/shoulder to cry on for this chapter. Without her help, I would never have gotten through this.

Character photos for Lord Bale's household can be found here. Thanks to poisontaster for opening up this sandbox, to devilc for introducing me to it, and to fleurlb for some choice casting suggestions.
