Demon's Dream snippet *Spoiler for Demon's Reveng

Just had another thought I hope Reah insists on bringing this garvin wyatt up herself and doesn't let teeg bully her into essentially handing over the child.

Now I'm going to spend the next few days pondering Lissa and Flavios' reactions when they first see Edward in Lissa's kitchen. Why, why, why was Flavio shocked, I somehow doubt it was because Edward ate all the crepes. I love the speculation when Connie posts these snippets for us.

Well my guess about Flavio's reaction is because he thought Edward was dead, he was on the council and then made head of the council, not hard to believe that he read about Edward and the other children from Shadowed at some point. Let's not forget what Lissa did to all the Elemaiya and Flavio has a little something extra now thanks to his mate so he might be able to tell when someone has power, maybe not what kind but when it's there.

Okay, I'll explain this ... once ... asking someone to reference the source is a polite way to ensure that everyone knows where to find the original material. We have a good relationship with Connie and I would prefer to keep it that way.

Questions about board policy can be emailed or PM'ed to me, or posted in Off Topic. Please keep them out of the discussions.

Hi guys!! I live!

Some stuff:
Halivar is Karzac and, presumably, Kevis's last name. (Looked it up on the Glossary, so not a spoiler)

The shock displayed by Flavio could be at Reah rather than Edward, assuming they haven't seen her in some time.

In Connie's blog ( subtledemon.blogspot.com/ ), in a response to this snippet, Connie says "Lissa still has her nose, too, so be prepared." Presumably this hints that Edward is related to someone - and the list we know of those with Elemaiya blood includes: Tony, Lissa, Fox, Griffin, Henry, Gervais, Ashe, Edward, Luanne, Merrill, Macy, and Bryce. (I am sure I am forgetting some and am not including full Elemaiya.)

I agree that Reah did reach out and keep up with her mates. An excellent summary of the situation, imho, is the lunch on Le-Ath Veronis where all of Reah's mates show up, but only Ry even acknowledges her. For all that it is on Reah to demand attention from them, I can certainly see how 25 years of this treatment would wear her down completely. I'm really hoping a big part of whatever treatment she's getting helps her re-establish those foundations/beliefs she established in childhood which are so very skewed. And triple agree that any reunions with her mates would be best served in a controlled environment - if not at the hospital, than with someone who makes her feel safe in attendance. (And ANYONE *cough* Teeg *cough* who goes for the "Oh I'm so sorry, let's have sex now" should be shot.)

Final thought: I really, really hope there is a come to Jesus with the High Demon family. I'm not determined on the whole de-throning them thing, but they absolutely have to do some major effort to make things up to Reah. Garde grovelling for quite a while would make me very very happy. (Some serious Kifirin, Norian, Tory and Wyland grovelling would not be remiss also, cause you just know Wyland is going to want to meet Wyatt.)

This just occurred to me but is there any indication that Tory knows what his father has done to Reah over his 25 year absence. I can pretty much guess that he knows that Jayd and Glinda stole Reah's daughters even if it hasn't been phrased that way to him but shouldn't he be mad at his father and uncle for everything they did to Reah if he really cared? I guess if Kifirin messed with his head as well it could make a difference, if that's the case he'd better be pissed in the next book or forget Reah and her daughters all together.
