-I love Zain's relationship with Calph. They really should get married.
-It's a nice detail how the Duke is good at art. Spending most of your time isolated from other people would probably give you a lot of time to practice
-I wish Scylla was pregnant with the Ringmaster's child because I feel like that subplot would be wonderful in its own way. (Ie they can't be together always, so he wants to leave her a sign of his love.)
