I only say what has been released in a public venue, or that Herself has instructed me to pass along, such as a reply to a question. Think of the bright side: I'm not ruining the story for you, only whetting your appetite! :lol: |

I've often wondered about the young couple whose romance was causing difficulties in the Bu'Javid while Bren was first up on the station. They must regard him highly for saving them by taking them onto his estate... I keep expecting them to show up to save Bren from something. |

Such sweet torture! I think sk8tr-ji has been taking lessons in "enhanced" leak techniques. More, more, more! |

Ooh, I hope they do. I was totally thrilled when She brought Rejiri of Dur back into the story after all those years. The same with the Astronomer Emeritus. One is always tickled to see minor characters resurface. I hope she tells us about that couple! |

I'll second that. I love the fleshing out of these minor characters. And I want to know what the dirt is about Taigi and Moni. Last we heard they had to be escorted out of the Bu'javid for showing up unexpectedly to "serve" Bren. One wonders where their man'chi lies now ... Aiji :cherryh: really needs to be okay'd up to book 21, at least. |

The more Atevi we meet through the series, the more I am convinced that the "regular people" are not so formal and fussy about rules and propriety as the Mospheiran University and Atevi nobility has led Bren to believe. I also think that Atevi are dangerously susceptible to the top-down man'chi that Bren shows toward his staff. I don't think they understand it, but the attention and politeness he directs down through the hierarchy "infects" them with man'chi. It could well be an unexamined cause of the War. I think Moni and Taigi may simply have become overwrought with the knowledge that their aiji (Bren) had returned and needed assistance. If they had intended mischief, they had ample opportunity. It seems to me that Herself regularly peppers Her work with these overt hints that Bren is far, FAR more important to many Atevi than he realizes. In fact, his only arrogance is that he feels to blame for everything that has gone wrong in their society. I think he may be among the top 5 most powerful Atevi Lords. This may be part of the tension between him and Tatiseigi. Bren may be (unwittingly) jostling him as a peer. I admit to dark thoughts about their return trip from the wayward station. I had visions of Tabeni assasinated and Ilisidi appointing Bren as Regent on her deathbed. Sorry. Rambling! God the thought of the next novel has me excited... |

Gent'ji, One also wishes to congratulate you on such interesting points. I'm particularly taken with the second -- Bren's "infecting" people with man'chi. I hadn't gone so far in my own thinking as that, but now that you mention it, it does certainly seem so. Thanks for giving me much to consider! And yes, I too am extremely excited about the new book! (((sighs))) One is most jealous of Nand'Sk8er. |

Is this unusual? Dose one suspect it of being lost? Shall we saddle up and start tracking? (jk) |

That would be Ilira -- she did 95% of the finding, and organized the list into extremely useful information. Others of our associates chipped in as well, but I think most of the thanks should fall upon her furry, Chanur-drawing head. Ilira's list of Everybody Who Ever Walked the Pages of the Foreigner Series! :fluffy: :baji :atwink |
