In which Theo and Kara discuss custom.
The healer Theo met before puts in another appearance, with the moment when he settles Yberna confirming both that he’s a Healer and that Theo doesn’t know enough about Healers to recognise one at work. His name is el’Kemin, a name which is not unfamiliar; there was a Syntebra el’Kemin in Local Custom, who through no fault of her own was briefly affianced to a pilot who wanted her no more than she wanted him. She was made uneasy, not to say terrified, in the company of pilots, an affliction it would seem is not shared by all her kin.
The Young Pilots of Eylot sound like trouble, and not just for the Culture Club. History has a bad record with patriotic organisations called the Young Whatever; that’s almost as bad a sign as “Democratic People’s Republic”.
I’m glad you have a good memory for details like this and share them. Even though I just read the book that Syntebra appears in a couple weeks ago, her surname hadn’t stuck with me.
Also when Win Ton is piloting a ship named Torvin – I knew that name was familiar but couldn’t place it.
My earlier comment elsewhere about apparent gaps in the archive of posts. The July 2014 file has Saltation chapter 1 at the top. The August file starts with approximately chapter 22.
For anybody who comes along later and has the same problem as Linda, I’ve put up a new post about a more convenient and reliable way of navigating the archive, which shouldn’t result in missing out on any posts (even the boring ones where I didn’t have anything to say).
Wahoo!!!!!!! I had noticed Older Posts links a few times, but it never occurred to me to try. Duhhhhhhh!!
Thanks so much.
Now I get to go back and start over.
