Yes, it was totally lesbian. Myrdhyn Send a noteboard - 22/09/2010 07:09:19 PM
However, it was so insignificant and only mentioned in passing that it hardly seems worth pointing out? For the record, though, some of the language used seemed to me to imply that the same "sharing" happened between Aran'gar and Graendal at least a couple of times.

and we know it wasn't enough to overwhlem Verin's circle darius_sedai - 21/09/2010 08:02:13 PM 1411 Views
I disasgree. There is no evidence that Aran'gar was holding saidin at the time darius_sedai - 21/09/2010 07:42:23 PM 1507 Views
Then why did she gasp at the shield? She couldn't have known what Graendal was weaving. fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 07:52:49 PM 1549 Views
because she was surprised that Graendal would put a shield on her in the first place darius_sedai - 21/09/2010 07:58:45 PM 1562 Views
How did she know there was a shield? fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 09:16:59 PM 1520 Views
Fact: Graendal cannot shield a male Forsaken and an Aes Sedai if they are holding the Source... Shannow - 21/09/2010 09:28:17 PM 1505 Views
Who said "they"? fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 09:55:28 PM 1488 Views
Depends on the level of surprise, I guess. If he was only holding a trickle of saidin, then maybe Shannow - 21/09/2010 10:05:37 PM 1549 Views
I don't think strength is the only determinant... fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 10:24:24 PM 1512 Views
I really don't think you have to be holding the source to know you've been shielded Deadsy - 21/09/2010 10:29:20 PM 1458 Views
Provide evidence? fionwe1987 - 21/09/2010 10:36:36 PM 1506 Views
Thanks, but like I said, they were both wrapped in air. That's enough for Aran'gar to wonder Deadsy - 21/09/2010 10:44:17 PM 1419 Views

Siuan was distracted by a number of other things going on, not to mention how suspect darius_sedai - 22/09/2010 02:43:36 PM 1408 Views
And Aran'gar was fully focussed on Graendal? fionwe1987 - 22/09/2010 03:02:16 PM 1641 Views
More so than Siuan was on Elaida when they were shielded. darius_sedai - 22/09/2010 03:33:15 PM 2424 Views
So? fionwe1987 - 22/09/2010 03:48:11 PM 1338 Views
It doesn't matter. There are more Shieldings that go unnoticed when not holding the Source Mik - 22/09/2010 03:55:48 PM 1434 Views
