"'[Flandry] is precisely the type to whom such things occur.'"
-Poul Anderson, Ensign Flandry IN Anderson, Young Flandry (Riverdale, NY, 2010), pp. 193-365 AT CHAPTER TWELVE, p. 280.
Maybe some characters sense who the central characters are?!
As Flandry listens to his enemies discussing him and his activities, the winds loudens, signifying a growing threat. When Ydwyr dismisses Morioch, wishing him a good hunt, the sky darkens, lightening flames, thunder bawls, wind yammers, rain gallops and its drops smoke...
Pathetic fallacy lives in Anderson's works.

Kaor, Paul!
A growing threat first to Flandry, and then, unbeknownst to Ydywr the Seeker, to MERSEIA itself? We both know the Terran was to be a uniquely formidable and successful enemy of the Roidhunate!
AD astra! Sean
