They should both faint! I can just see Bad Kitty fluttering above their prone bodies, doing that meow-squawk.
I adore Perdita's reaction to the ring. I breathe a sigh of relief knowing that she won't turn into too much of a goody-goody, and I'm sure Anomen would too if he could hear her and didn't get too offended.
I think the epilogue seemed a bit less vivid to me than other chapters because (in grand epilogue style) it had all that summing-up narrative in it. I don't mind that. Perdita still sounds like herself to me, and epilogues tend to be that way. And it had one hell of an act to follow, what with those climactic action chapters and all.
Great story, Perdita! When's the next one coming out?
