I'd say a bit, but more because 'Dammit, Snow, tell us these things'. So there's going to be a lot of 'we love you, but if you do that again, we will enact a humorous revenge'.

Considering Snow's canonical plan was 'revive the dead with magic, because that always ends well'*, it's probably for the best that she didn't do that.

... Does Quince get that date with the Scholar?

* Hint: it rarely does, but there are exceptions. This was not one of them.

Eventually!

...A-After Miko Cho and Kagu run a whole bunch of rituals and prayer sessions and stuff to make sure he's actually telling the truth about what happened, anyway. It's not that Kagu doesn't trust him, and it's not that they don't like him - it's just that the last time someone came back to life he was kind of possessed by a demon and caused a lot of problems (see: Sugawara), and there was another time before that when someone was killed and possessed without having all sorts of darkness in her heart to latch onto (see: Rao, who I assume the local mikos were informed about by Issun or someone after Himiko's death, Issun at the very least because he wouldn't have left that detail out when he went around being a Celestial Envoy and spreading Ammy's story), so they just want to make sure they don't have to do an emergency exorcism or anything. Yeah Akuro's dead and most of the demons are gone, but that's what they said when Yami was slain a little less than a year ago...

But after he's cleared (and after Kagu then shakes him a while for being an idiot during the final boss fight, because now that he's not on his deathbed she can do that), he and Scholar do meet up, and they do have their date. A cute date where they go cherry blossom viewing in the city and have ALL THE SHRIMP SUSHI at Sei'An's best restaurant (because Kurow doesn't have shrimp trauma and figures that just because you shouldn't eat it at Sabra La Tau doesn't mean that applies in Nippon - also since Kagu is pretty much in training to be Sei'An's ruler at the moment she kind of pushes through a favor or two and lets them do what they want on their date without worrying about money) and go star-viewing at night on the coast and it probably involves visiting Sugawara's shrine too. And she tells him her name as she promised, and all is well ^^

Merry's thoughts on Quince in general?

At first he was the cute little Lepus kid who had to be protected. She kind of started realizing that, while he's a sweet kid, he's not... sheltered, I guess. So she kind of saw him as a little brother figure. Especially since he woke up after her, and didn't seem to fit Lepus. (Snow is an only child, but had an imaginary younger sister as a kid.)

Now she thinks he's pretty brave and wants him to be happy and have all the adorable animals and come visit her.

Reverse?

Quince has always been rather predisposed to liking Bunnycorn as a whole. Just as a matter of principle - they're his teammates and partnerteammates, what's not to like? And as long as Bunnycorn is there, he's not alone, which much as he didn't really remember it for a while, he kind of was for much of his life.

That said, he especially likes Merry. Always has. If he was to think of people in familial terms (which he doesn't because he's never really have one in the traditional sense, thanks Waka thanks), then in his eyes, Merry would be the cool, smart big sister who always keeps a level head and who you can always count on even when things are crazy. The fact that she can do magic is awesome, too. And he has a great deal of trust in her - I'd say Badger's probably the only person in Sabra who he trusts more, and even then it's by just a little bit.

Also he still thinks she's pretty, just saying ^^

If you could do one thing differently during your time at Sabra, what would it be?

One thing... that's hard. I'd say 'kept Marla around because Ophi got more and more interesting'. And I wish I'd had more time to play with Merry, since she had a lot of things in her registry, and I didn't do that kind of character justice by apping her so close to endgame.

What about you?

Honestly? I mostly just wish I'd joined sooner, maybe brought in a second character, and been able to free up more Friday nights and make more games. I loved every second of playing at Sabra, I just wish I'd gotten to do more.

Your characters' favorite animals?

Akin likes all of them; he's always been fond of animals. He'd probably say 'humans' then get confused why people found that offensive. (Hey, both humans and Oankali count as animals!)

Tazendra: big cats, as they're the mascot of her house and also awesome solitary hunters and badass.

Tailmon: Hard to say; cats puzzle her a bit, but they are useful disguises. And she does have a catlike desire to watch birds a lot.

Merry: Is a dog person, but also likes birds for their ability to fly.

Zel: Mostly doesn't notice animals unless he's hungry. He was fond of the jawbreaker (a rocky critter originally from the surface) Beauty had Vulpecula raise, though.

Marla: Disapproves of nature; it's too green and squishy. Seriously, she's totally a city person. She did things like help the Bay Witch clean the city's waterways*, but most of the time she's 'eh, nature' and leaves it to other wizards. So another person who prefers humanity to non-human animals, even if, unlike Akin, she'd never answer the question like that.

How does Quince feel about animals that are not puppies?

* This indirectly helped her become Chief Sorceress of Felport. The Bay Witch mostly held her position on the council by being in charge of the city's port but she was pretty 'I don't care what happens on land'. OTOH, she remembers favors owed and does people who take an interest in her territory so, since she liked Marla and Marla helped her and seemed to give a damn about her concerns, she actually showed up to a meeting to vote her in.

Puppies and canines in general are always going to be his favorite because of Chibi, but he likes all animals, really. There isn't any kind he's ever met that he's had any dislike toward. He kind of has a little bit more understanding of birds, though, since he used to have this vest of Wings that allowed him to fly. Also, rabbits have made their way high up on the favorites list thanks to Sabra, and for similar reasons he hopes to someday see an actual unicorn. Some world's gotta have them, right? :)

Tell me about your favorite moments at Sabra?
