OK SO. As far as the Ledaals go. Constans and I were talking about this and we kind of figured that it would be best if the brothers met up with the main group before meeting up with Constans. Because that would be funny in a "What did you say your family name was?" "Ledaal." "O_____O Constans..." "Yes?" "OMG." sort of way.
I'm not entirely sure how Garret would fit into this, if the plan is still for him to join up with the brothers before they meet the group. But I'm thinking Mat and Luka are nice enough to let a lone wanderer travel with them for a bit, if we want to just say in the plot thread at the beginning that they met up and decided since they were traveling in more or less the same direction, they would go with each other.
