Thanks to both of you for digging this up... lilltempest Send a noteboard - 01/12/2012 04:01:48 AM
Elayne told Aviendha too, and it didn't work for Avi either. Min told Birgette, and it didn't work for her either. This situation doesn't prove much, since they were very close to Rand/Elayne, and those two were on a roll, preventing the people on the other end of those bonds from being able to focus enough.


Just miss-remembered the details ... was thinking Min explained it to Aviendha when she only reminded her of it ... whatever. Fact is the Channeler was able to make it work and the non-Channelers were not.

"The kerchief trick didn't work for you, either?" she said hoarsely.

Aviendha blinked, and crimson darkened her face. A moment later, she said, "That is better. Thank you. I. ... With him in my head, I forgot." She frowned. "It did not work for you?"


And it seems that Rina is the one who masked the bond to Elyas, which is just another case of the bondholder masking it. And the Min scene is interesting (I still think she could do it if she tried hard enough, much like ignoring the heat/cold...and we've seen channelers have trouble with even that trick) but it still doesn't prove that someone who has been bonded can mask the bond, channeler or not.

Wait...what about Toveine and Gabrelle? Wouldn't Toveine mask the bond to Logain if she could when Gabrelle was trying to screw his brains out in order to get him to let his guard down? The scene where Toveine is looking disgustedly at Gabrelle implies she was well aware of what was going on with her and Logain. Granted, the scene proves nothing one way or the other, but it seems the bonded Aes Sedai would try to mask their bonds to the men so the men won't be able to "read" them, yet we haven't seen it happen.

I just think the nature of the bond would prevent masking on the side of the one who was bonded. All of the power lies with the bondholder - down to being able to suck the very life out of the one they own - so it seems impossible that the one bonded could do something to protect themselves from the bond with the exception of holding the One Power, which is what we saw with Rand when Alanna tried to use the bond to compel him.

The whole idea of "Farstrider's son" sounds silly, if you ask me - 28/11/2012 03:23:11 AM 1463 Views
I think this is Egwene... - 28/11/2012 06:38:02 AM 1046 Views

well isn't wild speculation part of the reason for a discussion forum? - 28/11/2012 04:00:35 PM 953 Views
could be a mocking quote - 28/11/2012 04:41:36 PM 1154 Views
Possibly to the Sea Folk *NM* - 28/11/2012 04:45:30 PM 598 Views
Day 3 ... marriage is not so bad ... - 28/11/2012 05:18:05 PM 1351 Views

that is a good observation and explains the tone of the sentence *NM* - 28/11/2012 07:43:06 PM 572 Views
I like it. *NM* - 28/11/2012 08:24:58 PM 564 Views
That makes me feel better. - 29/11/2012 02:59:15 PM 994 Views
Berelain or an Aiel - 29/11/2012 06:01:48 AM 1025 Views
Day#3 This one sounds like something Loial would tell to Perrin - 28/11/2012 07:34:09 PM 1179 Views
Day #4: "Pass his bond to me." --- Moraine to Alanna? *NM* - 29/11/2012 05:22:01 PM 648 Views
Re: Day #4: "Pass his bond to me." --- Moraine to Alanna? - 29/11/2012 05:55:22 PM 1006 Views
No, I think it is Egwene demanding it from Alanna, or Elayne... - 29/11/2012 06:27:59 PM 1140 Views
Egwene to Alanna, IMO. - 29/11/2012 07:00:01 PM 1359 Views
Highly doubtful... - 29/11/2012 07:14:33 PM 1131 Views
Regarding Rand "tracking her actions", she can mask the bond to take care of that. *NM* - 29/11/2012 07:45:03 PM 702 Views
That masking works both ways... *NM* - 29/11/2012 07:49:41 PM 568 Views
Does it? Have we seen a Warder who can mask the bond from his owner? - 29/11/2012 07:54:17 PM 948 Views
Most warders aren't channelers... Min can't mask and she is the bonder in the situation and then - 29/11/2012 08:05:53 PM 1187 Views
You're right, most aren't channelers... - 29/11/2012 08:22:04 PM 962 Views
That's because you see it as a leash... - 03/12/2012 10:45:17 PM 1024 Views
well it can be a leash, but that's up to the bond holder - 03/12/2012 10:56:49 PM 1045 Views
where have we seen this emotional and physical stress that was related at all to the bond? *NM* - 04/12/2012 12:08:23 AM 633 Views
Eylas comes to mind - 04/12/2012 04:31:17 AM 820 Views
Even Cadsuane speaks of "taming" men who are bonded... - 04/12/2012 06:31:25 AM 1059 Views
No argument from me on most of this - 04/12/2012 04:36:28 PM 1117 Views
Moiraine and Myrelle seem to have a similar view... - 04/12/2012 12:10:05 AM 1176 Views
Mostly agreed - 04/12/2012 04:34:47 AM 1041 Views
Hmmm... - 29/11/2012 08:42:25 PM 1036 Views
I think Aviendha (she told Min about it) is simply ignorant about the mechanics of masking *NM* - 30/11/2012 03:44:01 AM 620 Views
Elayne told Min... - 30/11/2012 05:07:44 AM 891 Views
You are correct ... Min told Aviendha! - 30/11/2012 03:59:27 PM 958 Views
Re: You are correct ... Min told Aviendha! - 30/11/2012 04:04:53 PM 1045 Views
Nope.. - 30/11/2012 08:56:59 PM 881 Views
this is the scene I'm referring too ... but it DID work for Aviendha - 30/11/2012 10:19:21 PM 1024 Views

About Alanna, that isn't right... - 01/12/2012 05:51:03 AM 930 Views
It most certainly is... - 01/12/2012 03:52:45 PM 1019 Views
Yet Min holds Rands Bond *NM* - 01/12/2012 05:48:39 AM 554 Views
And? What does that prove? - 01/12/2012 05:53:43 AM 1037 Views
I think we do know a couple of things - 01/12/2012 03:32:09 PM 928 Views
Ah, then yes, we're on the same side of this argument. - 01/12/2012 11:08:23 PM 968 Views
You still haven't addressed the main point... - 02/12/2012 03:01:32 AM 1047 Views
Hmmm - 01/12/2012 04:22:26 AM 968 Views
I'm pretty sure Elayas can't mask the bond either ... I'd have to go look, but I think there - 30/11/2012 03:41:51 AM 994 Views
Something when he's talking to Perrin? - 30/11/2012 07:25:33 PM 994 Views

Day #5 - What!?!?!?! - 30/11/2012 05:46:44 PM 1083 Views
I really want that to be a sarcastic moment between Mat and Egwene *NM* - 30/11/2012 06:06:18 PM 470 Views
This sounds like Moiraine to me...possibly dry and sarcastic... - 01/12/2012 04:05:21 AM 980 Views
Who whispers sarcastically though? - 01/12/2012 04:29:30 AM 938 Views
Many people do... - 01/12/2012 05:47:06 AM 1046 Views
Not seeing it in the situation you wrote. Sorry. - 01/12/2012 03:57:32 PM 1001 Views
Of course you don't. In your world, Egwene will glare at Tuon and Tuon will drop to her knees.... - 01/12/2012 11:13:53 PM 1145 Views
What's that got to do with anything? - 02/12/2012 03:00:08 AM 1195 Views
Hmm yeah sounds more like Moiraine or possibly Nynaeve *NM* - 01/12/2012 07:03:42 AM 613 Views
Day 6 .... Galad ... MEH - 02/12/2012 04:31:29 PM 1327 Views
Day 7 ... "Nobody travels the Ways," Ituralde said, aghast. - 02/12/2012 05:39:56 PM 1184 Views
Not Demandred I think - 04/12/2012 07:16:27 AM 1083 Views
Demandred wouldn't be seen using the Ways himself! - 04/12/2012 09:04:06 PM 1038 Views
My thought was Ituralde finding out about Caemlyn - 05/12/2012 12:11:03 AM 1365 Views
Yup ... And I suspect we'll be seeing several more attacks like this - 05/12/2012 12:14:34 AM 1060 Views
