This lady (who chooses to remain nameless) is professional assassin who hails from the city of Naglorond. She does most of her work for private citizens since the end of the House Wars, where she was responsible for the deaths of a number of House personnel.
The handle she is currently using is “Targeter” All that is known about her so far is that she was a child prostitute in Naglorond who killed her way out of the business , and decided to never put her fate in the hands of another ever again.
Indeed, a new significant-other, a newly adopted Adah, and along with a newly acquired desire to move more into the shallower depths of the spook business.
Not those two, her and her sister. They’ve both been hammering Ian for that. A reassessment is more along the lines of “how should I be living now” type of thing; are her goals still the same and is the current direction really where she wants to be.
Starfall really had it’s impact on her. It’s a graphic example that all of civilized life could end at any moment and that she needs to ascertain her and her family’s future. This means having some plan (at all) of what that future will look like, including Jason.
Yes, I see her, more than Targeter, really considering those things at the moment. This process started before she went to Greenvale and the Starfall circumstances really drove the issues home. Her attachment to Adah is a symptom of that.

All of which, BTW, I think are highly laudable. 😉
Less micromanaging of experts who have been doing the job for (in most cases) years.

These are some wise women, recognizing when it’s good to step back. They’ll need every gram of that wisdom and insight in the times to come.
