Bryne gets off light because he only went to protect Siuan.


...Gawyn only went to protect Egwene.


I think Eggy makes a distinction between the two. It's more of a reaction to WHY they came than the actual act of rescuing her. Since Siuan and Gawyn came to save her, against her orders, they're in trouble. She's mad because of the implication that they know better than her and need to do as they wish, instead of as she has ordered.

She lets Bryne off easy on the technicality that he came to keep Siuan safe (and she couldn't be talked out of going). She's still mad at him, just not like the other two.

I think she's wrong there, because IIRC he agreed to come to both protect Siuan AND rescue Egwene. I wouldn't correct her if I were Bryne either!

I tolerated him, but he is still a shallow loser, and I'm still not impressed. - 16/11/2009 08:49:04 PM 627 Views

This is kind of a recurring theme in WOT, to me. - 16/11/2009 09:56:52 PM 699 Views

Rescuing and protecting are similar. - 17/11/2009 07:12:02 AM 564 Views
Agree, but... - 17/11/2009 06:04:17 PM 753 Views
But then, why does she feel she can order Gawyn around? - 17/11/2009 09:57:20 PM 669 Views
Because she's... , he <3's her, and if that's not enough, she's the A. Seat! *NM* - 18/11/2009 09:01:30 PM 269 Views
I'm afraid I still don't get it. *NM* - 19/11/2009 12:13:26 AM 274 Views
