Carahil as I remember her in the game was very stiff and by the book. I'm liking this new version of her, she much warmer, and has so much significance to Julian. I can foresee her not being too thrilled about assigning Julian the rogue mage task... and who knows? Maybe she won't?

That line brought little Julian all the way up to the level of Princess for me! It was just that charming.

As for the Sigil Stones, you are getting quite insightful into them... many of the points you bring up I have a feeling will make it into my own personal canon (and I mean in general, not the fan-fic).
Great fun to read!
