@Amplify ...... The girl ain't that much of a wuss to complain about having a few more fainting spells, seems like she grew up with the damn thing. Sure it's not something you want to keep having and will probably feel pretty good once it stops but when you've been living with something like this for a while and it becomes a rather constant annoyance it becomes rather easy to tune out.
That and odds are that editing the curse from mark of 16 to something like mark of 17-18 would likely only cost 3000 at most.
Well, my real issue is that he hasn't even checked to see how much editing the curse would cost in the first place. An extra year to get enough to remove it would take back some of the tension rather than have it to the wire like this. I mean, fucking hell..... actually now that I'm looking at the end of chapter 12 again they might be a bit too late anyway.
