The *real* thing?

Can we post requests?  Well, I suppose we can post, but the answer
might easily be "no".  ;-)

I was browsing through "Phoenix Guards" in order to make sure I'd
spelled "Kathana e'Marish'Chala" correctly, and I happened across
the paragraph where there being attacked in an inn, and Tazenda
declaims this ridiculously long line, and then discharges her
flashstone.

One of the things I'd like to see is the characters of the Khaavren
romances through any eyes that aren't Paarfi; how they talk and how
they act.  Yes, we've seen Khaavren a little through Vlad's eyes, but
I'd like to see more, and possibly by a *reliable* narrator.

Man, Paarfi is *ever* so much *long-winded*.  It's fun if you like
that sort of thing, but I know of two people who liked the story of
TPG but hated the style...
