Ack, sorry for taking forever to reply to this!! I would also LOVE for Pal to run into Padme! I think they would get along really well, and also they could bond over having been teenage politicians. XD Maybe we could do a thread where Pal goes wandering around City Hall trying to find *someone* still in charge, and runs into Padme? If you like the idea, I'm happy to put up a start!

And I would still love to have Padme and Vimes hanging out being tired and competent! Padme should totally tag the gathering post if you want (I'm gonna try to remember to send around an email this weekend), but plz let me know about an additional EP so that Vimes can tag.

YES Pal and Lup are GREAT. He is completely fascinated by her powers and wants to know everything, and if it gives her feelings in the process, EVEN BETTER.
