lol...can you imagine a disgruntled haruchai woman with the ability to speak to her man using her mind any time she wants? she would order him before he even got to or left the gates of revelstone.all in plain hearing of his other haruchai friends , he could never get away with "sorry, I didnt hear you" can you imagine the the haruchais expression as he is mind speaking "Yes Dear" to his wife after she says dont forget..i want Nilguy for dinner tonight, and get some new sponge grass for our pillows, and dont forget to stop by and walk home with little Cairn after his Ak Haru lessons. then they would start in on,.."you always do what the lords say,Why is it always them first? Bannor get me my staff ..Bannor protect my backside from Urviles, Bannor, take this to the hall of gifts, ..why dont i come before the lords??" and then if being a haruchai is anything like training for a boxing match or a fight then having female companionship would have taken the edge away, made them less effetive at their job. a couple reasons i can see why they may have left them behind. :D :lol: jk ladies

We won't let you see our women because they're simply too f#$%^&g hot for your non-Haruchai eyes, minds, and souls to handle. You would be powerless before their beauty. You would do anything and everything possible to get your hands on them, and we'd have to kill you. Believe me, we are doing you a kindness.

Yes. But more important, the pay is better. We send money home to our wives and kids every week.

But... telepathic husbands... not so cool?

I think I would get confused. Sometimes it's hard enough to follow a woman's speech, much less their thoughts. Or a man's, for that matter. My thoughts are pretty non-sequential sometimes, and I'm a math guy.

I'm lucky that my wife is pretty logical.

Oh, you mean kinda like a haruchai man before the merewives?

They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."

Bad Jenn. That's a pretty huge spoiler. And please, people, don't quote spoilers. That makes three posts I have to edit (I should probably delete, but since I've been slow to catch this one, and I'm feeling lenient...)

It's ok. I consider it my fault for not catching the one in the earlier thread.
