Really, they're talking Liaden

[rolanni]

So, I'm noodling along through Scout's Progress, though not nearly as quickly as I had hoped today because the day-job wanted me to, like, work -- what's with that, exactly? -- and! I find a section where Daav and Er Thom are walking in the garden, talking, and there is a word -- a foreign word! -- properly italicized in their conversation.

What word? you ask breathlessly.

Moxie.




I'm for the couch, red pen, paperclips and galleys in hand.
