Something struck me in that paragraph.  When you mention Silver Silk, are you saying that the Silver/Silent aspect of Silk is what leads him to ride quietly in SilkHorn?  That he’s kind of looking through SilkHorn’s eye like he does Sacred windows, without taking over?

It would be interesting perspective on the Silver/Silent thing.  It could also be intended to work in reverse, i.e. we might think of Silk silently travelling in SilkHorn and speculate about life for Silk in Mainframe.

I’m not very convinced by this concept, but it seems worth thinking about.
