Date: 2011-11-03 03:01 pm (UTC)Also "the only thing Lord Rahl hates more than bad news is bad news being kept from him". Yes - that's actually Captain Ashgar, who I used for my drabble. I really liked how brave he was about facing Lord Rahl's wrath, and thereby protecting his men, and also it suggested he'd met Lord Rahl before, obviously not on an equal footing, but enough to know Darken would hate having bad news kept from him...
It kinda made me think that Darken doesn't terrorize his subjects into mindless submission. Because no way a mindless slave would have said such a thing. Agreed. I reread Pris's Blood Trilogy recently, and she had a great moment where (Mord'Sith) Haden was thinking how she owed her loyalty to the House of Rahl but in the privacy of her own head she could think of them as she liked, as contrasted with Confession.
