But thinking I might keep Leia her normal Warden self at this stage, so I don't overwhelm and devote time to sorting out older/backdated things

bluecanary however I am now pondering, the possibility of Leia having given Bill-restoring-powers to someone else, if we could bring that into play in this plot (I'm deciding if she'd agree to that, I think she might XD)

depending on what an Ultra!Wanden/someone might be willing to do to work with Bill and both get them what they want.

That could be super fun

am I overwhelming you with too many threads? I think we have two outstanding plus the backdated one we are negotiating the outcome for

You're not, no at all. I really have been a blah Warden at this stage, and I'm feeling bad on all counts. So I'm actually quite happy to focus on getting that more sorted and figured out and to a point where we have stuff working, and I also feel more comfortable sitting out on this plot a bit tbh!

and also Leia needs to process all the crap she learned in her mini flood/breach on the other barge, so the timing all works well.
