Hear me out, she can sense power, has experience with I.K., and has sensed the energy of Yarra and Qum, so we have some circumstantial evidence that while Ginasta was there, she basically gave Simon a subtle "Thumbs up". Add to that the fact that Simon has incorporated his power and is not a "tyrant." and I can see her just not bringing it up as it didn't affect her mission. I disagree. Ginasta was pretty clear while presenting: She does not believe an Incubus King's power can be wielded for good. Vhala...If she does end up getting healed, I hope it's soon, otherwise I'm with Qum and Yarra, she is outright disturbing and unnatural. Not so much the sexlessness, but the simple fact that she cut out whole chunks of her soul and personality and is happy she did it. THAT is true fanaticism. She basically turned herself into a functioning sociopath. Not evil, just unable to relate to people on many empathic levels. I object to this characterization and this value judgment. If her old self entered into it voluntarily, happily, and her new self is happy with the change and would do it again, who are we to judge? If a person takes psychiatric medication to alter their personality for the better, is that also bad?

Nor is it appropriate to bust out a label like sociopath. I mean, if you're a heterosexual you can't relate to what most of the opposite sex finds attractive, but that's not a lack of empathy. Vhala also does not show a disregard for ethics or a lack of remorse for misdeeds. And it's not as if her views on the libido are unprecedented.

It is subjectively disturbing, perhaps. Unnatural, certainly, but so is cooked food and air conditioning. Nothing worth condemnation. The side note about the Ghivini is getting interesting, suggest Simon might be able to influence the rebirth of their kingdom. The thing about the Givini is that they're rare because SL's depending mostly on free resources, or at least premade ones. And decent sprites/art for black people are relatively rare. That doesn't rule this out, but it does mean a lot of it would have to happen offscreen. Anyone else love the various ways the Ladies shut down the womanizing blademaster? Seems like he's getting set up for a humbling. Yeah, they're pretty great. Don't know about humbling - Simon does point out that they're on the same team. This might be as far as it goes.

Also, I hope SL adds one for Robin. Oh, and before I forget, is anyone curious about Robin's behavior by the roadside inn? Seems like her connection to Simon's power is already taking effect :P I think she's just being an introvert...
