Kevin's Watch

im halfway through the 2nd chrons again and im trying to find the moment where covenant tells Linden about his relationship with Elena, when she confronts elena in andelain she accuses her of still being arrogant that she still thinks she loves him. does she know what happened between covenant and elena and if so when is that revealed?

One more reason I should do a re-read myself sometime soonish maybe. I'd love to tackle this question properly.

Here's my tongue-in-cheek response:
Psshhh, it's called "being a woman." We are actually privy to a whole lot of secrets, whether anyone has told us or not.
No surprise if Linden, who's in love with Covenant, would be able to be aware of Elena's attraction to him. (whether Elena is aware of it or not)
Seriously, women have radars for that kind of thing!

(mostly just writing this to see what responses I get - bwahahaha!)

Haha the old radar!! I think there is something important going on here or I'm reading too much into it, covenant at one point thinks that the party in the Wounded land is a reincarnation of his dead, brinn=bannor, Elena reborn in Linden. Lindens accusation of Elenas feelings was too accurate and insightful if ultimately misguided and in further books that connection and identification with herself grows, if covenant doesnt tell her the details of their affair what does that mean?

In-teresting.
Yeah, I definitely think that when one person has been -in the same position- as someone else, they sometimes have amazing (and often rather unfair!) insights into that other's soul.
(in Linden's and Elena's cases, in love with this powerful hero - in spite of some of the faults he's committed against them)
The tricky and dangerous thing about those insights (at least when the person is -not- the same one) is that occasionally, they are wrong.
(And even when they're right, we resent having such things exposed by someone else.)

Could be..there is definatley an affinity there. Horserite and lawbreaker, lots of parallels and shared straits. I just can't find why Linden specifically picked out that phrase "are you so arrogant that you still think you love him" if covenant never mentions what went on between Elena and himself, he states several times in both chrons that he loved her I just can't see when he shared that with Linden. If he didn't is the Linden/Elena thing more than it seems?...

Well, if Covenant never told Linden, Linden had invaded/possessed Covenant's mind to break him out of the Elohim stasis. As she was looking around for the door, she may have 'accidentally' nosed about and uncovered some memories.

Ahh yeah. True, that could cover it, with no further explanation needed!

I have this impression that TC told Linden all about it...just this memory of her being horrified.
