Nice work on coming up with a reason for the obvious enmity between those two, and I absolutely did not predict the twist about Jasmine still being... well, I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it yet.

Also, I can't help but thinking that this soldier who carried Jasmine away is going to complicate the plot further down the line.
