Well, you left out the part where Morrolan keeps challenging Sethra, and she's beginning to think she might have to kill him before Tukko pops up with a <spoiler>, which makes her decide to give him a <spoiler> instead. My reading of the Aerich/Paresh thing: Either Aerich probably _did_ chase Paresh around, (although the sorecry is apparently Paresh's embellishment since Aerich doesn't seem to know any) probably thinking that Paresh might know what happened to Tazendra--mad with fear for her and not thinking too straight--or else Paarfi came across a Paresh or Paresh-like account and shoehorned Aerich and Tazendra into it for the sake of the story. In Paresh's story, I seem to recall that the Lyorn refers to Paresh's master as "he" or "gya," which doesn't fit with Paarfi's account either. Sometimes I wonder about that Paarfi fellow. Max -- I die! I mis-remember my friend's telephone number and dial into a hydroelectric dam's power line, electrocuting myself. My roommates mistake my flailing spasms for sign language, coincidentally describing a delicious recipe for fried tungsten with petroleum jelly. They try the recipe. All die! O, the embarassment.
