that's a good point ... thanks! darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 11/05/2010 10:44:37 PM
Gareth Bryne is one of Egwene's underlings, Gawyn was not. Gareth Bryne disobeyed Egwene's orders, Gawyn was not under Egwene's authority for her to submit orders to him in the first place. Actually, I get that she is displeased with Gawyn for not trusting her, but she didn't make much of an effort to communicate to him or let him understand either, and she was in no position to stop him from doing what he thought was best either. Bryne, on the other hand was in clear violation of his duty to her. It seems to me her reaction to the two should have been inverted.


Egwene is well aware that if Aes Sedai gave direct orders to Bryne, he didn't have much of a choice but to obey them or face the consequences. It's Siuan who got Bryne into that scheme against his better judgement, and Egwene likely has guessed that.

Mind you, there's also politics involved. Egwene was well aware that the army was Bryne's, not the Aes Sedai's. Bryne may not be completely off the hook either. IRRC, Egwene has not yet made Bryne the new Tower Captain. He may well have lost her trust.

He's supposed to be in tune with her feelings. She shouldn't have to tell him stuff. *NM* Gher - 12/05/2010 01:40:07 AM 265 Views
How and why? They haven't even seen one another in around a year. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 12/05/2010 03:32:53 AM 241 Views
Oh, I wasn't being serious. Gher - 12/05/2010 04:23:51 PM 558 Views
Oh, sorry. Sometimes things don't get across so well in writing . *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 12/05/2010 06:20:50 PM 232 Views
She didn't tell him. But he did know... fionwe1987 - 12/05/2010 03:54:24 AM 608 Views
Frankly, I wouldn't have trusted those Aes Sedai anyway. Fanatic-Templar - 12/05/2010 04:18:18 AM 605 Views

haven't considered gawyn, but he or galad could learn. nigelgoboom - 12/05/2010 05:18:26 PM 552 Views
Maybe insanity caused by the taint would explain how stupid Gawyn is. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 13/05/2010 04:04:53 PM 506 Views
He'd be free from being controlled by Egwene! RPA's right - insanity would explain the depth newyorkersedai - 25/05/2010 04:49:06 AM 561 Views
