two comments on Issola

Following David Silberstein's recent announcement of an instance where
Sethra sees Vlad reacting to something Loiosh says, I've been looking
haphazardly for an instance where a GW wielder shows the same behavior.
I may have found one: in Issola, pg. 191, S. is looking at V.'s wounded
arm and they are bantering in a macho way.  V. says with faux
off-handedness, "Nice wine", and S "smiled as if sharing a joke with
herself..."  On the other hand I can't think why Iceflame would care about
wine - maybe S harvests grapes with it.  (Add joke about icewine here).
Or maybe the human part of Iceflame was a heavy drinker and, like the
skull in _The Last Unicorn_, is bone-dry.

On page 90, Morrolan asks V if he had "ever been held captive by someone
other than the Empire".  Apparently he forgot his involvement in the
events of _Phoenix_ not long before.  This bugs me.
