Why Thom is a better Pillowfriend

[Kaitlin 22]

Hmmm, Yes! I second that. Otherwise she'd have thrown Rand into a lake every time he was rude.... So in effect he would've spent the 2nd through the 5th books underwater.

 

Well, he did have a fetish for lakes!

 

I like grown up Mo too. It actually took a bit of time for me to appreciate the younger her, so it was the other way around. I think she seems like she's matured to the point where it's more important for a lover to know how to play the Game, handle messy situations, and isn't a DF. *looks at Thom suspiciously*

I don't see anything bad with that

I can't like both young Mo and older Mo at the same time. I remember finally getting used to the little one and then reading scenes with the bigger one and it was like a whole different person.

What's interesting is how much more mature Big Momo is about some things, but how she still really is Little Momo about others. I wonder what Little Moiraine would think of Thom.

 

I wish we could have gotten to read what RJ wanted to write about with those other prequels.

 

edit: Also... Lan is exactly the same. There is no Little Lan.

That brought to mind that line from CATMWLT about not-so-little Lan.

Now I want to go back and read it again!

Well he was born with a sword.

Really? I didn't know you could get a sword at that age.

[Kaitlin 22]

Well, he inherited it from his dad.

Yep, him being the uncrowned king, last in the line for the throne of Malkeir, leading the fight against the Dark forces, etc.

[Olivia 26]

Yeah, the Power-wrought sword was one of the "gifts" he was given before his parents died (I think the others were his locket with his parents' images, his royal ring, and his oath as consecrated king). He was officially given it on his tenth birthday though, if memory serves, which he notes was several years early.

[Marie 73]

Jesus Christ Olivia, how does your brain absorb all this wot knowledge?!

[Kaitlin 22]

Actually I was just being dirty. He got his sword from his father. He also got his "sword" from his father.

[Marie 73]

Hey it could have been grandpa who gave it.

Yay someone understood my joke...I think.
