In Traitor's Blade it's stated that Christopher, Tom, Sally Lord Ashcombe and the King's men spent two months stuck on the southern coast. What happened during the two months?
Kevin Sands
Not much, really. The weather and feared plague outbreaks kept them more or less stuck in their lodgings, other than training and playing in the snow.
Tom made the best use of their downtime; he trained relentlessly with the King's Men with pretty much every weapon in the local arsenal.
Christopher stuck mostly to training with pistols, and also sometimes with a rifle. Tom tried to encourage him to learn the sword as well, but other than some rudimentary practice, Christopher just likes his guns.
Sally exercised her injured hand, which was painful but aided greatly in the healing. Knowing how much she loves music, Christopher managed to track down a local musician with an old hurdy-gurdy, and with Lord Ashcombe's permission (and money), hired the man to teach her the instrument to help get her fingers working.
Lord Ashcombe looked after what little of the king's business he could in the south. And got increasingly annoyed with the weather.

Great wrap-up to the mystery of who the Raven is, but I wanted more between the characters I've grown to love. What about Tom's sisters? Why is there no mention of Tom's family anymore? How are they doing? Does he never visit them? He is wonderful as Christopher's faithful friend, but he does have loving siblings of his own, as well as a caring mother (even if his father is a jerk).
