Good point. I think Siuan and Bryne are super-cute too. And I agree about Bryne being much more perceptive than Siuan ever gives him credit for. It was nice to see the tables turned on her in this section. I agree that Rand should just go talk to the Borderlanders. Actually, everyone should. Very few people (Elayne being the exception) have even bothered to try and figure out what they're doing. Sort of gives me a headache. :DLiesel K.

So hopefully telling the carn'a'carn that he is a jackass and that mutiny is imminent wouldn't put the teller under some sort of toh obligation or shame. <br /><br />Very true - Perrin doesn't actually need to be king of any land. He is just simply King of Wolves. It is like saying that Perrin is broad shouldered or likes to think things over. He simply is. <br /><br />Yes, since Rand can spit out Gateways left and right, he could stroll into the Borderlander camps and sort them out. In fact, he could even whisk them all away via Gateways before Elayne would have a chance to yell at him for stealing her 'invaders' that helped win her the crown. <br /><br />That would be awesome if Silviana decided that Egwene no longer required punishing, or even admitted that she should never have been dealt punishment. nrlymrtlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572346310916207565noreply@blogger.com
