*blinks at a sudden thought* *checks back* The poison on the Archon's tailbarb wouldn't happen to be sodium ascorbate, would it?
I love that Steve bursts in to challenge them, and only after that does he think about the translation issue. (Were you setting this up way back when Kammani decided to learn English? Because it's nicely balanced, in a way it might not be with a mechanikos translator. If you were, that's some impressive plotting, I am envious.) I also love that Steve's basically just improvising, with no real idea of the significance of his actions, but we know. And Kammani drawing out the circle, and Steve reading the interactions between the Argonians (which could easily have been overdone but totally wasn't) and... Oh, and Carol hugging Wanda is lovely.
