Annotated 18-14
Unclear whether Rachel knows about Frigg’s attraction to Scipio. She’s got a pretty good sense of people and even a fair sense of Frigg, but she is a little inclined to take Frigg at face value, and Frigg’s one-sided insult war with Scipio is reason enough for Rachel’s amusement.
Pacifism in wartime is a tricky subject. Fr’Nj’s ability to communicate with beasts could have had a lot of offensive applications in this conflict, but at this point in Fr’Nj’s development, you might as well ask Superman to start flash-frying innocent people to death with his heat vision as ask her to command violence against another. This will change, at least for a while.
I… guess Byron means that Gr’Zl is the leader, there, and he’s following Gr’Zl’s commands because even though he’s not an archer he’s on their side? I think this might’ve been clearer before revisions.
Never found it confusing. Byron’s following Gr’Zl’s lead. Mature of him.
Same. I thought it was clear that Byron is just doing the smart thing and following the lead of someone who at least has a plan.
That’s how I read it too. Even now I find it hard to interpret it otherwise
Same, solidifies Byron almost always thinks tactically and doesn’t hold a grudge (Gr’Zl did try to kill him on sight) Also shows Byron knows he’s know when to follow when others take the lead.
I thought Rachel was laughing because she literally had just seen somebody who clearly wanted to fuck Scipio.
Well, YES, the fact that Frigg was instantly wrong was another layer of it for her.
Anyone else think it’s odd for Fr’Nj, herself a Wood Elf, to use the phrase “Run, Wood Elves”?
No. From her perspective, if not that of most of the people there, Timmi and the elk also count as “people,” and she wants to make it clear that she has different instructions for them.
