And indeed she is correct. Shooting Star grants everyone she can possibly spare from the Firebrand extended furlough, so they can go to whatever home they have in the islands and gossip. The general feeling is "It's about time someone exercised a little common sense!", but folk are willing to give Galad and Rian a second chance at ruling in their new matrimonial states. By the time the Firebrand is back up to her full complement of sailors, the ordinary people are ready to back a divorce.

"But if you were married to her, then it wouldn't be scandalous, would it?" Silver Fox reasons. "Do you think you could be happy with this woman otherwise?" The king is not sure, but he thinks so. Silver Fox proclaims that to be good enough to go on. Next, all they have to do is win local support for this plan, from among regular folk of the archipelago. Shooting Star is inclined to think the... well, silly aspect of it will do much to persuade the people of the brilliance of this idea.

As it happens, Queen Rian is still in love with her childhood sweetheart, and as far as she knows he remains single. So that, hopefully, is one problem solved. King Galad's fancy hasn't lit especially on just one woman in a while, though. There is an unmarried lady of the court who sets out lures for him, but he's somewhat afraid of her. "Why?" Shooting Star demands. It appears that she's indiscreet and would cause a scandal, and Galad abhors anything that smacks of being common and tawdry.

The rest of the time spent on "Harmony Islet" lives up to its name. Galad and Rian are so thrilled with the prospect of no longer having to be married to each other, that they are in bright, sunny moods, and even able to work together without sniping and recriminations... mostly. They agree right away to remove the price from Shooting Star's head, but instead of thinking that it's funny, the idea of wanting to talk to her to make her the next ambassador to the Central Kingdom, they grow quiet.
