Rereading Issola I came up on this when Morrolan and Aliera are captives... [quote] Morrolan shrugged. "Have you ever been held captive?" "Yes." "I mean, have you ever been held captive by someone other than the Empire?" "Yes" I said, and didn't elaborate. To avoid dwelling on a memory that wasn't entirely pleasant, featuring, as it did, far too much potato soup... [/quote] But Morrolan should _know_ this, as he helped free Vlad from Grenaere, so what's up? Regardless of if the potato soup is Grenaeran or not he shouldn't have to even ask. /Martin
