There must be a massive supply of them because they do show up everywhere.

Otherwise I'm not quite sure why he didn't chuck everything at them in the first attack when the were ill prepared.<br />It is a puzzle why Ellion was embarrassed about explaining the Night Butterflies - it's not exactly a new concept after all. Maybe it just represents how very sheltered the Tanaan really are? <br />Definitely with the bromide!<br />I'd also forgotten about the once a year fertility thing and was sort of scratching my head as to what had them all riled up. Were they then choosing to dance with people who they would like to partner with? I couldn't decide.<br />Lynn :DLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928865767523025349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3936635192759786622.post-79487912807544865942013-04-16T13:13:02.687-04:002013-04-16T13:13:02.687-04:00I'm sure there is a perfectly good reason why ...I'm sure there is a perfectly good reason why they didn't just finish the group off in the first few attacks: I can only assume that they are being herded somewhere important for some reason.Looks-Mostly-Harmlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918651503213054373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3936635192759786622.post-27658280486640872962013-04-15T20:32:27.007-04:002013-04-15T20:32:27.007-04:00Yep, they were wading through water - so maybe tou...Yep, they were wading through water - so maybe touching mud is good enough connection to land for them to carry on. <br /><br />True about the Tanaan sticking out no matter what they were wearing. So, in that regard, it probably didn't matter too much whether or not Letitia put aside her torc. <br /><br />I too was a little surprised that the Tanaan had to have the concept of prostitution spelled out to them. Afterall, lots of songs, both romantic and comedic, are about whores or involve whores, so you would have thought some of those songs would have made it over the mountains to the Tanaan lands. <br /><br />You have a suspicious mind when it comes to the Basghilae. True, if they have the numbers, why haven't they overwhelmed Ellion and crew? Hmmm...nrlymrtlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572346310916207565noreply@blogger.com
