* The ShipTease between Lydia and Ingvar makes an awful lot of sense. Lydia is a plain, straightforward kind of gal with little patience for tomfoolery or pretension. Unlike Stig and Hal, who tried to play TheCasanova for her, Ingvar never tried to be a DoggedNiceGuy. Admittedly, neither of them was really overly obnoxious, but it's notable that she's most receptive to Hal and Stig both when they're genuine, and Ingvar is always very honest and upfront with her.

* Erak allowing Kloof to chew on his walking stick at the end of ''The Stern Chase'' isn't just him being kind. In a warrior culture like Skandia, life debts are very important, and she did save his life from the pirate earlier in the book.

* The evenness of Gilan's sparring match with Stig, even though Gilan's got decades more experience, makes sense when you remember that they've been on a ship for a couple of days. Gilan is probably still developing his sea legs, and is also most likely used to having more room to maneuver (a small wolfship like ''Heron'' would not give much space for footwork, as opposed to the woods, fields, and even streets where he usually fights). Stig, on the other hand, grew up on and around boats, so he's much more used to both the cramped quarters and the motion from the waves.

* ''Slaves of Socorro'': Hal seems shocked at the effect his sabotage had on ''Nightwolf''. Did he merely underestimate it or did Tursgud [[TotalPartyKill doom the ship and the crew]] by trying to go from a stop to full speed?

* Related to the above bit of Brilliance, after the Andomal was stolen, Stig no doubt felt that everyone would be comparing him to his dad. Also, while the Brotherband were away, Stig's mom probably had to deal with the extra ridicule of having a son and husband who were both outcasts.

* Wulf's panic when Ulf is injured makes sense beyond just it being his twin brother--this is the second time a crewmember has been badly injured, but last time, he was busy manning the sails, meaning that he didn't get to see Ingvar's wound up close until after the battle, by which point Edvin had cleaned it up.

* In Book 1, Stig at first doesn't like the idea of running away from Hallasholm. Hal puts this down to Stig's aggressive personality, but later we learn that [[spoiler: Stig's father had run away from Hallasholm after stealing from his crewmates]]. Stig no doubt wanted to avoid the comparisons to his father!
