Did Mo dig Thom?

[Iris 0]

Okay, so who here thinks that Mo had a thing/crush for Thom before she found out that she was gonna hook up with him in the Terangreal in Tear in Book 3? Or do you think that after she found out in the Terangreal it induced an affection/love for him?

[Ekho 52]

I've never really been a "team Thom" person, so I never really saw evidence of Moiraine liking Thom until that letter.

 

I think there was probably a mutual respect between the two throughout the books, but thats about it.

[Kaitlin 22]

I think she may have found out from Min, not the ter'angreal. There's a bunch of theories over at wotmania about it.

 

If nothing else, and at her coldest, he would be a good match just for teaming up with and getting done more machinations without her having to do everything. At her softest he is a musician and seems to be sweet and caring toward loved ones. He's funny in a way that seems to make her laugh. He has something blue about him which helps with Mo's blue obsession.

 

I just hope she's not written as a complete cupcake after she's rescued if she hooks up with him. It would be time to throw the book down in disgust!

Never bought the lover angle.

Yeah, it's funny how the three most significant people in Momo's life have blue eyes Siuan, Lan, and Thom.

Perrin was lucky his eyes were yellow when he walked in on her or - ! What other women have blue eyes? Hmmm, maybe I should make a thread.

you know, i never thought of that. that would definitely enable her to have more time build a crush on him.

i kind of hope she has a secret cupcake side for Thom but she's still her usual hard self out in public. i think Mos capable of being both. i think it'd be cute, like seeing the weaker more human side of her but w/out it detracting from her gutsy cunning hard manipulative ways personally i think deep down Mo would like to unleash her cupcake side.

I think I would be tempted to slap Sanderson if Moiraine came back all lovey dovey about Thom, not only would it be out of character but it would just be...wierd.

I'm hoping it's a wheel weaves as the wheel wills mystery thing, (so Moiraine is grateful but not "in love") Otherwise, RJ (the light illumine his soul) is just projecting himself onto his old Gleeman Thom and finding a way to be all pervy in his own final books.

 

However he is into some weird things in that regard. So I'm sure my hopes will be dashed by the obvious.

In book six Thom tells Mat Aes Sedai don't hide as much as they think they do, while spinning Moiraine's letter in his hands. This was before he read it. So she must have made some sign of interest, although "interest" =/= "I love you" just "hmm, you are interesting :>"

 

That letter....that letter!

 

I think she likes Thom and might even enjoy his company (and maybe she's heard whispers about his ability in the bedroom) but that letter!

 

I don't know what to think about them after reading that thing; honestly I would have said her being lovey-dovey would be out of character except that thing was so borderline I don't know what to think of Moiraine anymore.

[Ekho 52]

Maybe she was drunk when she wrote it

[Kaitlin 22]

Drunk and naked...? then she threw on a robe after Lan finally got her attention and out she went to go tell Rand he needed to fight without her for once... during that *suspicious scene* in Cairhien. Maybe not.

*stares confusedly* daaaah!!! must read letter but cannot... too..many...books...away....still........*hangs head*

 

i hope Mo is in lovey with Thommy. i dont think its necessarily out of character for her to be lovey dovey, i just think it would be if out of character if she was lovey dovey in front of others or if she like was tripping over her own shoes and balefiring the wrong people at Tarmon Gaidon

I think what surprised people was that the Mo/Thom thing came out of nowhere for the most part. And that letter...

I will agree with you on the first part (cause i cant agree with you on the second part yet as i havent read the letter) but the Mo/Thom thing did seem to come out of nowhere.
