I've definitely had the inkling feeling re: Illyria and I've been pondering on stuff to do a bit differently. I think you're suggestion is 100% doable and I might try to find some way to implement it in the near future. It doesn't help that I'm less active with her than I am with Gwen, and therefore less comfortable and I don't have her doing much action that requires response. But yay to ideas! Thank you! =)

And rock on <3
