Going to put my money and doubt that that Narx will go bond with š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬ even with his scale back lol. Watch as Veahās breaking of bond be more painful towards Narx than the actual severing of a true bond. she is just going to die while he becomes a sad bachelor miser non-speaking kaideon 2.0 and The Keep will forever be guilty of fking their kingās guard up
Literature 101 - the unreliable narrator. What the character says might not always be 100% truth. Iām sorry veah, as awesome as you are, I honestly doubt anybody can truly claim to know somebody fully. Itās too arrogant a claim. At this point, Veahās reaction is very obv traumatic instinct to shield and wall herself. What she is feeling the past few days is honestly more emotions than she has allowed herself to be vulnerable to for her entire life, so I can see her flight or fight instinct kicking in and wanting to literally dig out the very thing causing her all these feelings - his scale. This almost tunnel vision train of thought of not even hearing him out or entertaining any alternative - āhe might not know yetā or āeven if he doesnāt, he is just convincing himself otherwiseā - you can literally hear the trauma speaking. The mind is frantically latching onto a finality of worst case scenario to protect itself - coming to terms with the worst in advance is a trauma response the mind thinks is ābetterā because it gives the frazzled brain stability and comfort in the certainty of knowing ānothing can get worse than this nowā. She can no longer sense Narxās emotions, so she doesnāt know what he truly feels. She claims that she is interpreting the pain from his scale is a sign of wavering, but why canāt it be a sign of his agony of having to disgustingly react to someone like adri, and anger at the absurd fate that his love for her is ironically causing her pain? entire Keep including Everon has said this matter is unprecedented and thereās so much they donāt understand about the backlash, so forgive me if I think Veahās to claim to know for sure might not be 100% rooted in facts but based on what she feels. All Iām seeing is she bravely tried her best to hold on in this uncertainty and what obv is yet another cruel attempt by fate to get at her, but she let go a little too prematurely due to her instincts to protect herself.
