Also, I'm incredibly curious about any number of things, but I think the first among them is what's going to happen to Felix's usually-effective response of charming people when he wants to, when he's in a place where the flirtation that's an inextricable part of the charm is repugnant. I wonder if it will throw him back on himself, make him find he has to be more present in his interactions with people - and, if he does lose this powerful tool, what effect it will have on Mildmay to witness the failure of the "cult of Felix."

Of course, we've already been told that Felix could flirt effectively with people who didn't want to be flirted with, winning bets with a callous and glittering aplomb. So maybe he'll just seduce all of Corambis in one grand sweep. But that was when he was on his own turf, insofar as Felix has had a turf since he was four, and not at such a complete disadvantage.

I'm trying not to speculate too much, and mostly succeeding, but I am very curious.
