------------------Original message------------ You can make a lot of conjectures about the episode in Yendi where Kiera delivers Sethra's jewel to Vlad, but there aren't any concrete facts revealed. All we know is that Sethra trusted Kiera to deliver the jewel to Vlad "under the table". Of course, this seeming contradiction of Kiera as trusted agent on the one hand and as barely acquainted on the other hand would serve to act as another tipoff to Vlad that something isn't quite right with her story, so it's likely that it was purposely written into the story that way. ------------------------- Another tip off in Yendi (which I'm currently re-reading) is when Vlad asks Sethra to transport hime to his office. She does... "I didn't have to tell her where it was, either. Sometimes I wonder about her." Shan BTW: I'm new to the list. Hi all. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
