Oh, you go, Jenny! She had everything he needed. And I'm impressed that Robin didn't tie him up all night. And Angel - brave, gallant kid! Doing this for someone he doesn't even like! (But he's right to feel under obligation to some extent, I think - the spell that's destroying her was meant for his protection ... it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for him.)
(Have either of you read Diana Wynne Jones' Fire and Hemlock? Angel's decision to seek out and use magic here was so like an inside-out version of the scene toward the end where Polly decides to use magic to get what she wants ... .)
And the scene with the Lady ... hot and chilling ... > shivers <
I'm really worried about them, though: the dream Angel gave her was the dream of them together.
