Elania al'Manir
Aes Sedai
Would someone please tell me what emotion Mistress al'Vere is feeling? I can't tell why I think her reaction looks "off", but I do.
I totally agree with the whole we think Lan's going to be the mysterious guide but then he introduces Moiraine thing, and I love that vibe so much.I thought the same thing! I was wondering if the reference might be intentional, too, since Moiraine is kind of a mixture of a Gandalf/Aragorn character in Wheel of Time. If you knew nothing about Wheel of Time, you might think for a moment that Lan is going to be the mysterious guide, but then he introduces her and steps aside, subverting that expectation that the guide figure is going to be a man. If not intentional, it's a great accidental way of highlighting one of the things that makes Wheel of Time so unique.
