What's with all the sad Crescians?
>>153209583So Sonorie is about to meet the shrine girls who lost their twins because of the construct facility she had built beneath the shrine... Also I wonder if Siya will have anything to say about Duane and Sette and how that might color her opinion of them assuming she goes to see Duane after this.
>>153209583Yeah Siya. If you can endure countless versions of your own twin experiences with one living and one dying over and over again, then sure, stay in Litriya. I'm sure some could do it, but not sure if Siya can. >>153210125You have more hope than I do, anon. One girl's experiences with Duane will not sway a Sonorie who already has a plan. In private tea maybe she will concede he is not the monster Cresce thinks he is, but she still has to think about dealing with Alderode and the current political climate. And that's not considering their trying to figure out how he exists.
>>153210411Siya might not necessarily have good things to say about Duane
>>153210411>One girl's experiences with Duane will not sway a Sonorie who already has a plan.Not just A Sonorie, SonorieS. This plan is multigenerational. She doesn't want to be the one to fumble the bag.
>>153210125>how that might color her opinion of themIts going to be the push that he's not an insane pile of ghosts pretending to be a man. Her experiences with Duane where while Sette was short leashing him, but the man leaves a lasting impression on his students. I'm guessing she already got a report from the headmistress though, of a battle construct using a noisy Sharte as cover to: 1. Gain access and start a revolution with the local lizards (fucking with Sonories latest messaging)2. Take the Headmistress hostage3. Break into her safe and steal military secrets and Shrine Detonation codes4. Lock the Headmistress in a safe after beating her for information on the top secret construct facility5. Welcome an Aldish attack into the shrine after the defenses were lowered (no witnesses on this one though)6. Blow up the Shrine with the codesI'm sure Toma took responsibility for lowering the Shrines defenses, and gave a cautiously positive account of Duane at the shrine and Morstorben. Her research of Alderode should make her aware of how ridiculous a Ssaelish plod would be. Then Nora claims its a real person whose journal that shows him as some rando Ald cursing her name chasing silver on a journey west gone wrong. I can't wait to see what Sonorie does with Duane
>>153209583third to last panel is making me tingly in my pants
>>153210411Duane doesn't really fit into The Plan at all, which is why his fate right now is to be crushed into a million pieces, so the pieces can be studied. Could change though.Threatening him with Lemuel's life, you could probably get him to do stuff for you, but then he's an extremely powerful uncontrollable wildcard who you can't keep tabs on. And why would you bother? He's a powerful wright, and he knows Alderode, but I doubt either of those is in particularly short supply and there's no way Duane would be super cooperative.Queen would need to A) have some use for him, B) need specifically Duane and not anyone else, C) believe he could be convinced, or controlled, into fulfilling that use, and D) have some way to keep tabs on him.
>>153209998If I was Crescian I'd be sad too
Website comment:>Eww, old lady grandma kiss, wipe it off.>~AshleyPatreon comment:>Mistress Lori has lived her life cynical and jaded after her own twin abandoned her responsibility, and really leaned on that negativity to claw her way back up in the world. She's quite ready to coach Siya down the same path, if that's what she wants. But Siya doesn't know what she wants >( Just what she doesn't want. No smooches.>Man, my publisher gave me the due date for the next two books. I have until the middle of July to edit almost 800 pages o_o If I'm a little quiet on Tumblr the next few months, that's why. Gonna try my very best not to have to take a posting break!
>>153213114The books are going to be so delayed at this rate I’m sure she could take her time well into next year
>>153211967get ur head outta the gutters anon, you never seen someone mimic a drunkard before?
Siya is so cute and precious and I genuinely hope to see more of her still.
>>153216364not a big black momma
>>153216398We will. If she wasn't going to be a character going forward, she would have been dropped in the change from book 1 to book 2. There was no obvious reason that we NEEDED to follow up with her again, so there must be more suffering planned for her to come.I mean more story planned for her to come. Don't worry about it.
Hooray for Sette's Gang getting a new member. Nothing she spoke about wanting out of life would be met by staying in the shrine. She's going out into the world.
