Tales from the Storm Discussion

[YianKutku]

The new story's up - "A Calm After the Storm"

Taking this as an invitation, Alisaie gave vent to her frustration. "Isn't that the truth! If he's not cheating death with his fellow adventurers, you can be sure he's off helping the beast tribes, or collecting tomestones, or regaling the children of Idyllshire with the tales of his exploits, or delivering something to someone. Honestly, I don't think he sleeps."

I laughed.

While I understand the limitations of the English language, it does feel slightly jarring to read of the WoL as being male, since I had subconsciously assumed that this outing at the patisserie was basically a Girls Only event or some such. EDIT: Never mind, I failed my spot check. We can switch genders for our WoL.

Alphinaud is still pining over Estinien-senpai.

Have we already met Lyse's new advisor? Or is he a brand new unseen character? I can't think of anyone in the Gyr Abania side of the expansion who is both around Lyse's age and knows a lot about Ala Mhigan politics and history. (Wiscar doesn't fit the latter, and he doesn't seem all that smitten by Lyse either.)

I'm not sure if it's just Y'shtola, or if the Scions actually really don't know that much about each other, to the point where the first candidate for a significant other Lyse thought of for Y'shtola was Thancred, another Scion. Either way, it's a little sad.
