Sassan's gratitude to you may be tempered by the fact that she is stuck as a servant again (stationed in your bedchamber, no less), apparently unable to leave the battle tower (or she feels obligated to stay and help in order to repay her debt).
Complaining about the cold is a strangely common phenomenon in Canadian winters, mostly with people who forgot what happened the previous winter, and who don't know how to dress properly. I've had to explain to many people that it wasn't cold outside because it was snowing (if it was cold, there wouldn't be enough moisture in the air to be able to snow), etc. Some places in Canada school gets canceled if it hits -40C, and some places you play outside for an hour waiting for the bus, because the driver had to plug in the second block heater for awhile in order to get it started.
Thanks, Raven.rpg and Cleglaw. I'll put you down as references on my resume...
