I suppose the legal question is one of the necessity for a formal divorce proceeding if one party to the contract is already deceased. Does the marriage contract provide for an automatic ending to the wedded state should a spouse die, then reappear in other form in a different realm of existence, as has happened in this case? Or is the incident of death sufficent to end the contract, regardless of still-living embodiments of the deceased in other forms? Then again, should you succeed in killing Smith today, I will be joining you in the realm of the departed. Would the marriage be resumed upon my death, regardless of previous termination? Whether or not a previously nullified by death marriage is resumed once both parties are deceased is a knotty point beyond my ability to unravel. I'm not a loyer.

I can! Yes, dogs are useful in survival situations. But they must be useful dogs. This beast, as indicated by his name, is a one gram nothing. Can you expect any work from such a tiny creature? Is a miniature canine of any value in defending the camp if an intruder can easily squash him with the step of a bare foot? Of course not.

Vote Gram for Eviction!

Well, I only want to evict him. Whether he dies upon eviction is a matter for the Diamoddess.

Smith is hardly any use in defending the camp when he's away with the faeries all the time. Gram brings amusement and companionship, if nothing else. Smith brings nothing to the party.

Btw - you see how exciting this can be when the outcome is not predictable ...

Why, thank you. I'll have to consider if I ever become unhappy in my current profession.

But he does bring something. He brings the one thing without which no party is complete. Cake.

Very exciting. Though I still hope that Smith will be saved today...
