It might be interesting if her contract is with Cullen, however, if Cullen ends up nearly dying but gets somewhat saved by dragonsong's necormancer (ina way?), would that mess the idea up?
I'm just thinking that it'd be funny if he ends up 'dead' but not dead in a sense after this entire thread so in a way, his support of magic benefits him in saving his life, but also has complications strewn between these two women. In one instance, Silmeria owes him (and he'd only do it out of the goodness of his heart, but also- jokingly nad somewhat seriously) asking for her support against the crown. But I'm thinking he can't really die then? But maybe there's a twist in magic since there's so much chaos going on during this uprising that Cullen ends up int he cross fires and finds himself in a state of an inability to die which, more or less, works in his favor? Like maybe he gets rammed through with a spear but realizes he's not really bleeding and... somehow not dead, despite the pain- if that makes sense?
I dunno just some random ideas I'm playing around with that are popping up in my head as I enjoy my coffee :T
