We MIGHT get the lost deposit on our plane tickets back ($110 kept back when we cancelled), but I doubt it. Grrg. We were going to be working full days M-W, then a half-day Thursday so we could have some tourist-y time. Motion-range testing, nothing dangerous.
There are many, many little language traps to watch for. Some are because people are assholes. One bastard in my lab got the Chinese doctoral student to repeat inappropriate things for said bastard's amusement. I told him that if I heard one more word, or just one hint that he was harassing Jian again, I would report him to Dr. Gallo. He avoided me and Jian after that, and the other grad students were just as immature (and all male).
"Oh yes, because Temeraire is still quite small and didn't think to take the remaining English crew with him, even if he WERE big enough to carry them all. Laurence still looks out for his men; Temeraire has a personal attachment to Laurence but still doesn't quite understand the concept of "duty" yet." Right! Laurence would become upset if the crew were hurt, so this is obviously a VERY BAD THING. So Temeraire will do what they need to do.
There definitely isn't any ill feelings that Lily is the head of a formation, even when she's not the biggest. I do think dragons go by fighting merit and/or wisdom over "biggest" and "male". I think they have mostly male captains because that's what the corps provides.
Also, ISKIERKA OMG. Probably spelling her name wrong, but <<<<3. It does mess up the planning I had a little for dragon!!Laurence, but I'll just let Granby be the one that bosses the big brass into treating Laurence properly. "Sir" remains.
