I seem to be catching a lot of grief over Andrew being pissed at Aston. Aston had been told to not interfere with local politics, but he did anyways. It caused issues for the caravan, and for Andrew trying to see to getting Brena to her destination by mid-winter. He was also compelled by the same forces and Aston had just caused issues that could delay them. I am sorry some readers don't like how this event played out, but then again, humans can be perverse creatures.
