After Battle

The Rebel Worlds, CHAPTER TWELVE.

A captured ruka needs linkage to survive and can be forced to link with two Thunderstone units, thus creating a new conflicted personality that will learn more with possible longer term benefits.

Falndry declares his love for Kathryn:

"'I want to be your man myself, in every way that a man is able.'
"The wind lulled. The river boomed." (pp. 484-485)

Kathryn gives no answer. I quote this passage both because it is pivotal in the novel and because it is yet another instance of the wind commenting on the action.

Kaor, Paul!

And the fact Kathry gave no "immediate" answer makes me wonder what she felt: astonishment, dismay, attraction?

Ad astra! Sean
