When Christopher Holm visited Tabitha Falkayn in Oronesia, he was not yet chief of the West Coronan guard because that guard had not been organised yet. When they both attend a joint conference of their two guards and others and the Seamen's Brotherhood in Centauri, he is a top officer in his guard and she is aide to her business partner, Draun, also of Highsky Choth, who has become her superior in the North Oronesian guard. Finally, at the Great Khruath, Christopher is the chief of his guard and their two guards are still extending their cooperation. If we forget this process, then we project later stages back onto times before they had happened. This is a more general principle, of course. Someone who is asked, "Why did you not act on that information?" might be able to answer: "Because I did not yet have that information at that earlier date."
Avalon has inherited a military tradition from the Troubles, as also have Aeneas and Dennitza. In addition, most Avalonians are used to hunting in groups. They are used to cooperating and some of them will now enjoy hunting Terrans.
