Fantastic job. Thanks a lot.
Love this story, but every time I read this chapter, this bit drives me nuts. In Searching for the Sky we read a brief aside about how Kal had modified his mask.

Here:
... When Kal added the rune that would allow him to breathe underwater he also made some improvements to the mask. Tiny squares of leather held in place by metal clips covered holes on either side. This allowed air to escape but any pressure from the outside pushed the pieces into the holes, preventing water from entering. He got the idea from watching how the valves on the blacksmith's bellows worked. Up near the nose, a second set of one-way valves on the inside prevented the mask from becoming a death trap if he was knocked unconscious. Fitted plugs on small strips of leather could be clipped across them for use underwater. ...

In light of that modification, unless Kal was a total imbecile and left the mask modified for swimming, he should be able to breathe with the mask on. If course, I remember thinking the one-way valves kind of defeated the purpose of a filter mask, but that's besides the point, in terms of continuity. And I figured he must've done something to remedy the risk of having one-way valves in your gas-mask.
