Thank you for taking time to comment at length. (I've been reading the COT reviews, and I know how much you have on your plate.)
I really didn't expect this to become a series. My intention was to write a few drabbles about the other people on the Valiant. But characters kept walking into the "interview room" in the back of my mind, and demanding to have their say. As long as they keep talking, I'll keep writing.
I can't fault you for your preference. I think "The Ambassador's Tale" is one of the stronger stories in the collection, and Etienne is one of the more likeable characters. If I were going to nominate my own stories -- something I'm not comfortable doing -- it would certainly be on the shortlist.
