Will Liand and Linden get together?

[burgs]

Maybe I'm just being cynical but Liand just seems a little too nice. I'm reminded of how Foul sat at Kevin's right hand for years before Kevin realized what was going on.

Good point, I thought he was awfully complimentary of her as well. However, she did have her health sense when Liand was around, and never detected any wrong in him that I can remember.

But Kevin and friends had health sense when Foul was on the Council...

True, but whenever Anele was posessed, she was capable of telling when the Despiser was fully there, still lurking in the shadows, or gone. That would lead one to think that she could sense the same in Liand.

From a different angle, Liand's motives to join with her do seem a bit too altruistic, and that gives cause for pause.

However, wouldn't anyone subjected to the rigid lives and "disinformation" that the Masters have imposed on them, as well as Kevin's Dirt, be so moved upon tasting Earthpower that they would want to join up with someone who seeks to rid The Land of Kevin's Dirt (minimally)? That does make perfect sense.

Perhaps. I remember from the First Chronicles that no-one in the Land could "see" Covenant..."you are closed to us" etc, because he wielded wild magic. He surpassed them. Presumably the same is true of Foul, but on the other hand, Foul doesn't surpass Linden's power. They're on a more even footing. Still, I wouldn't put it past Foul to be able to hide himself, and allow Linden to detect his prescence in Anele.

We're not really sure of the full extent of Foul's power yet, are we? We know that there's been plenty of time for him to grow stronger, but has he? He was soundly defeated last time around.

Once again back to Linden and Liand.

No, I don't think so. The are two very brief mentions in Runes of Liand and Pahni exchanging......looks. I think that's where the next romance will be.

That thought crossed my mind too, but Liand fawns over Linden so shamelessly, I dismissed the idea.

No, Linden and Liand are not going to "get together." Not like that. About the same chance (and sentiment behind) Foamfollower and Covenant becoming gay lovers.

Aww, why not? I think they'd make a cute couple!
