I like the introduction of a female character in this section. Balances up the essentially military cast.

Druisius doesn't have a lot of interest in women - except his sister and rather indirectly Eudekia - they just aren't part of his world until later. He will, eventually, fall in protective love with a newborn baby girl - but not in this book.

No, and in any case, a military setting is always going to be predominantly masculine. I just think that female characters add a breath of fresh air. Different air anyway.

And tell us something about Druise (which will become his nickname, later) at the same time.
