Regarding the mother's permission.... Cannoli Send a noteboard - 28/04/2011 07:26:29 PM

The sex part is pretty funny. I don't necessary agree, though, I think Egwene's just a prude and also still follows seems to be the Two Rivers customs in this respect (IIRC they only accept premarital sex if the mother gives permission to the girl, and she didn't have it) though it's strange that this is is about the only Two Rivers custom she has kept. It's clear that the Aes Sedai don't care whether one of them sleeps with her Warder or with whoever she wants.


She was setting the groundwork to blow it off a couple books ago. She was thinking that even if she had no way of getting permission, she was sure her mother would say yes, so.... When it's about what Egwene wants, she rationalizes a way around the custom, but when it comes to delaying a little gratification to get Gawyn used to jumping when she says frog, the customs make a great excuse.

Egwene vs. Gawyn (ToM spoilers of course) Cannoli - 28/04/2011 05:01:46 AM 4409 Views
There's fifty feet of crap between rock bottom and your post... *NM* fionwe1987 - 28/04/2011 07:40:04 AM 547 Views
Almost three days since the last post...at least I'm trying. Cannoli - 28/04/2011 12:17:59 PM 1093 Views
What is to discuss here? You hate Egwene and will spin anything to put her in a negative light darius_sedai - 28/04/2011 12:59:58 PM 1163 Views
As a complete outsider w/ no dog in this fight.... scalius - 28/04/2011 04:06:39 PM 1192 Views
Who said anything about him not presenting his argument well? darius_sedai - 29/04/2011 03:20:46 PM 1173 Views
Puns are pointless if the whole word is censored. *sigh* Cannoli - 28/04/2011 06:18:11 PM 1340 Views
But he's so good at it. all the pieces are in there and close to the right place... like a picasso. Onarishma - 03/05/2011 12:51:54 AM 1116 Views
Sorry about that... fionwe1987 - 28/04/2011 10:58:50 PM 1151 Views
I'd say there's no need to take it so seriously when there's so few posts lately. You should see newyorkersedai - 28/04/2011 05:59:19 PM 1058 Views
Ah, its always good to see a good Egwene rant. Bravo! NM *NM* AshaShan - 28/04/2011 01:58:46 PM 785 Views
Great work, Cannoli Zeratul - 28/04/2011 02:09:28 PM 1127 Views

while i agree with you on most of this Yunalesca - 28/04/2011 04:53:06 PM 1235 Views
hmpf, i post a good point and nothing Yunalesca - 28/04/2011 11:09:53 PM 1032 Views
Everybody agrees with you, that's why there were no replies *NM* Zeratul - 28/04/2011 11:29:13 PM 534 Views
Here's a scary thought redqueen - 28/04/2011 11:54:50 PM 1334 Views

you could say the same about a lot of the relationships in this series Ava - 28/04/2011 04:59:19 PM 1190 Views
I agree there are plenty of underdeveloped and somewhat one-sided relationships in the series ßelals Girl - 28/04/2011 08:15:52 PM 1243 Views

In regards to the letters... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/04/2011 05:28:13 PM 1317 Views
But Gawyn was not Egwene's subject Zeratul - 28/04/2011 06:09:31 PM 1102 Views
Which was why I thought it was appropriate, since he meant to act as Egwene's Warder. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/04/2011 06:19:53 PM 1052 Views
The only issue is that Warders are not minions - they are honored junior partners. Cannoli - 28/04/2011 07:39:18 PM 1214 Views
No, the junior partners are Accepted. Warders are essentially personal bodyguards and/or assistants. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/04/2011 08:00:17 PM 1002 Views
Marriage redqueen - 28/04/2011 08:27:53 PM 1023 Views
Accepted are not anything, let alone junior partners. Don't think N&E's experience was typical Cannoli - 28/04/2011 09:32:22 PM 1277 Views
Here's the thing though... fionwe1987 - 28/04/2011 11:20:32 PM 1061 Views
No, but it's cute and quirky when Faile does it. Cannoli - 29/04/2011 03:06:50 PM 1250 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 29/04/2011 10:52:03 PM 1022 Views
That's not really clear Zeratul - 29/04/2011 11:41:20 PM 1154 Views
Actually, it is... fionwe1987 - 30/04/2011 06:37:42 PM 1231 Views

Didn't Siuan, Gareth and Gawyn tell her about the Bloodknife they encountered? RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/05/2011 02:33:08 PM 1063 Views

My two cents: yes, a little, maybe, and possibly not. newyorkersedai - 28/04/2011 06:05:09 PM 1197 Views
Regarding your reference to another Emond's Fielder: What are you talking about? Cannoli - 28/04/2011 09:06:13 PM 1073 Views
both together, couldn't separate them in my mind - perrin's evasiveness or nyn's trickiness *NM* newyorkersedai - 28/04/2011 10:16:57 PM 559 Views

Galad is a great option for a political marriage Zeratul - 28/04/2011 09:04:46 PM 1050 Views
Yes, but... redqueen - 28/04/2011 09:40:39 PM 1082 Views
but galad knew nothing of berelain's closeness to rand, so that couldn't have affected anything mazza3 - 28/04/2011 10:12:23 PM 1127 Views
Exactly redqueen - 28/04/2011 10:27:04 PM 978 Views
Yes. An often overlooked point is that ELAYNE, not Egwene, gains the most power in ToM Cannoli - 28/04/2011 09:42:43 PM 1445 Views
Except... fionwe1987 - 28/04/2011 11:16:25 PM 1081 Views

I can only quibble; Egwene became so insufferable in ToM I'm convinced her fate will be unpleasant. Joel - 04/05/2011 12:41:53 AM 1248 Views

Good points all round (do you switch brains when getting into real world politics? ) & re: the Talk Cannoli - 12/05/2011 02:04:06 PM 1009 Views
