Yay, more ACoK discussion! Gen knows Attolia only fusses because she loves him. If she ever stops fussing, he'll know she doesn't love him anymore. If she doesn't love him anymore, he'll be in Big Trouble because she'll be giving him coleus-laced wine or something because he will drive her CRAZY.
He sleeps with one knife under his pillow already, but if his wife no longer loves him, he'd better start sleeping with two. But wait, even two knives won't save him if *she* wants him dead.
And of course he thinks it's all very funny and she doesn't. At least, I think she didn't find it funny. With Attolia you never know.
I wonder--does Gen like it when she fusses? Does it make him feel loved? And what kinds of things does she routinely fuss about?
That makes so much sense--thanks!! (Now, I can reread and chuckle myself :)
No, I don't think she did find it funny. She did, however shyly pet his cheek. Perhaps, even though Gen was laughing, she knew he would want some reassurance that she would always love him. And always fuss :)
Sort of like the ears/eyes/lies scene..he can laugh, but she knows he really wants to know.
Oh, they are so cute. *fangirls*
what kinds of things does she routinely fuss about?
Well we know she fusses about him being in bed when he's ill, and style in clothing!
You know, I never thought about it being like the "tell me you won't do all those awful things to me..." conversation, but you're right. Gen seems to need that reassurance.
Aw dengit. I'm blowing my cover. *throws herself to the dogs of mercy*
Yes, I admit it. I've read ACoK.
So anyway, I agree with what everyone else has said. I love it when he laughs at what others might consider cruel things Attolia says. ("Have any mistresses and I'll cut your other hand off," "Here, take mine.") He APPRECIATES her. But also, a second knife wouldn't be helpful because he doesn't have a second hand to hold it in.
(now who is it who has the genius Costis-expecting-better-of-royal-closets icon?) It's a long story. Well, not really. Not really a story.
You see, I was lucky enough to read it only about a week after I actually realized that there WAS going to be a 4th book, which was aroung the time I found Sounis. I know the owner of a bookstore near me, and she sometimes has me read ARCs, because she gets so darn many. And in November she got ACoK!!!! So, I read it (and loved it, of course. Let us not forget). And I have royal-closeted myself by not making it apparent that I've read it. Because I'm a loser. And I feel guilty that most people here have been waiting FOR YEARS, and are still waiting. And I haven't spread my copy around for No Good Reason.
*sniff* The sad, sad story.
On another knify note: "Sophos, you sleep with a knife under your pillow? I'm hurt."
WHY THE HECK ARE PEOPLE FUSSING AND FIGHTING OVER GEN'S HEALTH?
It's just normal stuff, right? Galen's there because Eddis is there, right? Not because Gen's having major issues, right? He's a part of her entourage.
Right?
Megan never puts stuff in for nothing. And with that, have I answered my own question?
But I think he should be ok. I think I think I hope. I mean, it seems like got Galen's attention pretty much throughout QoA, and Petrys seemed to be hanging around him a lot after the assassination attempt. I hope the rivalry is just causing them to try to outdo each other.
...and I have a feeling that this is going to be a BIG TOPIC OF DISCOURSE when ACoK comes out.
Did you happen upon the last post? We sort of kind of talked about sick!Gen theories there..!
Some ideas/theories:
1. He's sick because being ruthless Attolia is actually getting to him and it's making him ill. Not to mention the nightmares.. *huggles Gen*
2. It's a fake. Gen wants people to worry about his health, but really everything is fine and dandy..and perhaps the MEDE will get word of his "failing" health. *Gen you viper*
3. Gen ASKED to see Galen for IRENE. Not for himself, and this set off a feud with Attolia's palace physican, who is trying to make Gen get better...even though Gen is perfectly fine.
(Also: were you at the roleplay chat when Megan disguised herself as the oracle? She told us to be nice to Gen because he was sick..she also said something about Gen off SNOGGING...)
I must have missed that post, but hese are all plausible theories! The sad thing is we won't know until we read more books because I'm sure MEGAN ISN'T TELLING!
Boo.
No, I was NOT at the roleplay, darn it. But I really, really, really like the idea of Gen off snogging.
Agh,you! AGH! Good thing I like you! I think I said on Jade's review that Gen obviously has sand colic from eating sand in his food all the time. Horses in blah blah blah blah. Y'all are gonna be sick of this explanation. I'm putting it everywhere so maybe mwt will stumble across it and use it so that she doesn't make Gen sick unto death or something ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING LIKE THAT!
