So, I am glad Oree didn't mention anything. <br /><br />I think Itempas is learning the folly of 'Do as I say, not as I do' kind of rulership through Dateh's lectures. And, yes, he is changing as he is forced to think about these things and reassess his past actions. nrlymrtlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572346310916207565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-24460038807204381652014-01-23T03:06:48.683-05:002014-01-23T03:06:48.683-05:00Yes, I hope so, too.

I hope that Shiny can reach the same conclusion before he decides to kill her.Grace @Bookswithoutanypictureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14926992766158099078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-80925730944960130092014-01-20T16:28:43.289-05:002014-01-20T16:28:43.289-05:003.

That is an interesting idea. Maybe instead of actually changing his nature, he can change his perspective on what order is supposed to mean?Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683230093775720398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-56681282669922345912014-01-20T03:52:10.574-05:002014-01-20T03:52:10.574-05:00!.

I think Madding just sees demons as people with as much right to life as gods and humans. Another nice thing about him, *sigh* :(<br /><br />3. "they interpret everything he did as something he approves of, because why else would he do it?"<br />Oh, that's a really good point. I suppose they can't imagine Itempas making a mistake or changing his mind<br /><br />5. I wonder if Itempas could stop being so inflexible. He's the god of order, and up until recently this meant he made the whole world worship him through the Arameri, with the same temples, rituals etc. But order could also mean adapting to different situations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
