Has Vlad > ever seen Daro, for that matter? Does he know she's married to Khaavren? You are correct, sir, I forgot Khaavren made the same mistake. So either both of them are terrible at House identification, Lady Daro is a convincing Lyorn, or House identification as a rule is not as clear cut as it might appear to be. One begins to suspect Paarfi might not even be that good at it (although he _did_ get the Lady Daro's House right). Then again, doesn't Vlad think the Sorceress in Green is an Athyra, when no one else makes that mistake (at least, no one else at Castle Black... then again, they've known her for ages, perhaps they thought she was Athyra when they first met her)?
