I was wondering if your water feature was inspired by a hotel or good sushi restaurant - hotel, then.
Dammit, Lola! Two adults having consenting fun is rarely a bad thing, but, as I'm reading the storyline, she's in a somewhat committed situation with Daryla, so... Dammit, Lola! That absolutely was a mistake.
So Vaen'ka eat magic, have red tinged skin, and can pass their abilities on to others. Fine, Lola isn't getting her power-up from previously unknown Palinorian ancestry, but her power-up is coming. Catastrophically. I suspect the author won't have Daryla killed by the Vaen'ka (that would sidestep too much of the triangle/infidelity angle that *ahem* "came" this week), but Daryla might end up severely fucked up and depowered very soon. It's been a while since the author did mean things to a B-tier character.
Oh, other than to say the Marrekech hotel was very boutique and quirky, and lovely. Our son had just turned 1, and when we booked this hotel (remember: lots of open interior water features, steps up and down everywhere) he couldn't yet walk. By the time we went there, he'd started walking, by which I mean RUNNING, FURIOUSLY, IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
It made for a slightly more stressful breakfast and dinner experience than we might otherwise have had....

I can imagine.
I don't think I can respond to any of that without dropping spoilers, Mike. :P
That's fine. Just logging my updated speculations to help the author judge if foreshadowing, hints, and/or red herrings are landing correctly. 👍
