"! Temeraire stone-cold refuses to accept any captain but Laurence. He will accept a lieutenant, as Laurence has, and he will fight, but they will NOT give him a captain. He would even accept "principal rider." Several of Tem's reforms start up accidentally." OH YES. Necessity is the mother of invention.
Also, Laurence will totally still have some money in his accounts, y/y? So he's the first dragon to really own property aside from jewelry. They'll probably need to be property reforms in England based on the Chinese model... and I'm sure that Jane could help browbeat some politicians into that. ;) Maybe Lord Allendale (reluctantly, at his wife's behest) could help out too? It IS his son, after all, even if he's not his eldest...
