What is Þannseið? I think I might know how to pronounce it, but that’s all.

That is incorrect, because they're speaking Thulic, not Icelandic. I would render the word in English as "thanespledge" if Solvei hadn't made me invent it in Thulic, although I probably should've run it through google translate to see if it autodetected to something wrong, because if I'd known it did I would've changed it.

Given the context, though, it works really well as an easter egg...

It's a really misleading easter egg! This is not the kind of easter egg I want to hide. XD

Yes, but also very impressive. Even though I think Cherish was weaker than some other ones (broader scope, but slower at any given task), Promise’s ability to trust herself was impressive.

Could she have done that against Chelasi, who apparently works very quickly and thoroughly if she needs to?

I'm pretty sure that was the effects of her Yellow plan, actually.

I didn't understand that. I like it more now that I do.
