Please recall that you have admitted an inferior understanding of American English connotations. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 27/11/2009 08:23:41 PM
Egwene mentions a herb garden in the balcony, with basil, thyme and a bunch of other herbs. Now, those were stupid choices of herbs to mention, I'll give you that, but it is even stupider to ignore that there are other herbs growing.
Ah. SO in fionwe1987 logic, ONLY food being mentioned means that we should take it for granted that medicine is in there too.

And the vegetables are growing inside.
They are root vegetables that don't need as much sun, dumbass! That doesn't mean there is any medicine on the balcony. And I offered Sanderson's idiocy as a possible choice.

As for Egwene's comment on Nynaeve, it shows that she has her friend in mind, is aware of her likes and dislikes, and wishes she could meet with another who seemed to view Healing in a similar manner.
Which I said. RtD Original Post!

And Suana's invitation to Egwene... yes you need to have some ability with Healing, but wanting to Heal is more important. Look at Moiraine, who is a superb Healer, but doesn't want to spend her life Healing.
Well, I've argued this position more than once, but I would think a decent Talent for Healing would still be a sine qua non.

As Egwene says, she doesn't shine at Healing, but that doesn't mean she's useless at it. She could be an average Healer, but since for Egwene, average ability is nothing to be proud of, she constantly downgrades herself.
Bull. She couldn't even understand what Nynaeve was doing when she demonstrated her discoveries after Egwene came to Salidar. Egwene has never Healed anyone, and there is no indication that she knows more than the theory. Her moderate depiction of ability in this scene is simply another continuity error of Sanderson's.

But that is not the connotation of Egwene's comment. Cannoli - 27/11/2009 08:45:40 PM 752 Views
