No, but it's cute and quirky when Faile does it. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 29/04/2011 03:06:50 PM
Egwene never objected to Gawyn having a differing opinion from her. What she objected to was him openly disobeying her and standing outside her rooms like an unwelcome guard dog, and then stalking her wherever she went.

You don't need a political reason for disliking that.


And possibly an explanation as to why this is not a good idea, rather than blind orders and oblique challenges to prove his worthiness as a Warder. The very NAME of the job suggests protection as the primary purpose. Only Egwene would think unthinking obedience takes precedence. Most people would say that by scaring off the first Bloodknives attack, he did exactly what a Warder should do. Also, no Warder gives a flying f*ck about Tower politics and so forth when they conflict with the life of his charge.

There's fifty feet of crap between rock bottom and your post... *NM* - 28/04/2011 07:40:04 AM 470 Views
Almost three days since the last post...at least I'm trying. - 28/04/2011 12:17:59 PM 932 Views
Sorry about that... - 28/04/2011 10:58:50 PM 992 Views
Ah, its always good to see a good Egwene rant. Bravo! NM *NM* - 28/04/2011 01:58:46 PM 708 Views
Great work, Cannoli - 28/04/2011 02:09:28 PM 945 Views
Regarding the mother's permission.... - 28/04/2011 07:26:29 PM 1014 Views
while i agree with you on most of this - 28/04/2011 04:53:06 PM 1075 Views
hmpf, i post a good point and nothing - 28/04/2011 11:09:53 PM 853 Views
Everybody agrees with you, that's why there were no replies *NM* - 28/04/2011 11:29:13 PM 457 Views

In regards to the letters... - 28/04/2011 05:28:13 PM 1117 Views
But Gawyn was not Egwene's subject - 28/04/2011 06:09:31 PM 932 Views
Which was why I thought it was appropriate, since he meant to act as Egwene's Warder. - 28/04/2011 06:19:53 PM 896 Views
The only issue is that Warders are not minions - they are honored junior partners. - 28/04/2011 07:39:18 PM 1052 Views
No, the junior partners are Accepted. Warders are essentially personal bodyguards and/or assistants. - 28/04/2011 08:00:17 PM 848 Views

Accepted are not anything, let alone junior partners. Don't think N&E's experience was typical - 28/04/2011 09:32:22 PM 1074 Views
Here's the thing though... - 28/04/2011 11:20:32 PM 898 Views

Galad is a great option for a political marriage - 28/04/2011 09:04:46 PM 884 Views
Yes, but... - 28/04/2011 09:40:39 PM 928 Views
but galad knew nothing of berelain's closeness to rand, so that couldn't have affected anything - 28/04/2011 10:12:23 PM 962 Views
Exactly - 28/04/2011 10:27:04 PM 805 Views
Yes. An often overlooked point is that ELAYNE, not Egwene, gains the most power in ToM - 28/04/2011 09:42:43 PM 1262 Views

I can only quibble; Egwene became so insufferable in ToM I'm convinced her fate will be unpleasant. - 04/05/2011 12:41:53 AM 1026 Views
