if Nat hadn't died at the end of bk 3, they would have left each other alone, i think. Nat's main feeling towards her was guilt, for getting her into the mess in the first place. i wonder (if Nat had survived) if he would have kept his old job in the new parliament? that's an interesting one. |

He would have remained in his earlier position, but would be a very changed person. |

Do you think the commoners would have agreed to that? |

Mmm, think it was mentioned that Nat would put his career first, even when he was trying to change himself. But with a few...reprimands from Kitty hopefully he could have been redirected. |

But still would the commoners have allowed him to keep his position in the government? |

Yes, they might. The government now(I feel) would have equal representations from the commoner's & magician's side. And Nat might as well be the sole magician the commoners might come close to trusting(assuming Nat had lived, of course). |

Didn't she die? |

Yep. Though she did have a nice afrit to unleash before she went. |

Afrit or Djinni, that's another thread (somewhere). Either way, he did little. Poor shmuck, totally outclassed. |

Pretty sure it was an afrit. |

Would have been a fine politician in the event that she and Nathaniel survived and set up government reforms with the Commoners. |

Yeah, but would the commoners trust Whitehall as much as Nat(again assuming they both lived)? Some commoners were saved by Nat & Kitty had faith in Nat. So mightbe the commoners would take to Nat more than Whitehall. |

Doesn't matter, she'd gain their trust. I saw her as one of the less bad magicians. Nathaniel could put in a good word for her. |

She would have been apposed to the commoners parliament, I think, and would not have wanted to take part in it unless all it's senior members were magicians. |
