""Pretty sure Taj could open beer bottles with them toenails," <- I vote this for Best Sentence Since The Beginning of Writing. It made me splutter the coffee I was drinking, and that was a waste of damn good coffee u.ù
Aside from that (and you DO have a way with words...) this part is simply amazing. I have always been fascinated by the beginning of Stef/Van relationship, even because Stef -the less magical of the couple- was apparently the more aware of their bond (granted, there are things living under rocks with more relationship awarness than one Vanyel Ashkevron...) And it seems it is the same here! I soo love it xD
And I also love how Van/Valdir is jelous of his public persona. He is not that hero -in his mind- after all! And Stef, his guardness and his... Purity perhaps. There is something still stubbornly good in the young man, isn't there? :D Also, this setting shows him off sooo well... Competent Stef for the win.
"What I do know is, it would be like a story - there'd be something for a hero to do. Not this damn mess." <- THIS IS SO TRUE. Damn, destroying demon on the Hardon border is EASY. Put back together a situation like the one in this city, not so. But the first things get you to be called a hero, the second doesn't.
Also, the plot is thickening! Dun dun dun... (Please tell me Van doesn't die here I can't stand Van dying ç.ç)
TOTALLY OT: I have a curiosity °-° Do you believe that a blind person can become a herald? I mean from all I have read -which is not all of it, granted- it looks like the bond is triggered when a herald-to-be looks in the Companion's eyes... and a blind person couldn't °-° And I don't know where else to ask xD
