awww...I like it. Two formerly hardened hearts having to deal with their feelings.

I'm one of the few people though who think Rahl didn't kill their child. I think he was just telling her that to break her emotionally. Like when Denna lied to Richard and told him she had killed Zed. I was betting if we got a 3rd season there would have been a Cara/Rahl story arc with their child.

I actually agree with that statement. I don't think Rahl killed the boy; I honestly think he's probably protecting the boy for now by letting her think that. If people think his heir is out there, the child is a target.

oh good! I'm glad it's not just me thinking that way. I mentioned it on another board and they accused me of trying to make Rahl too human due to my Darken fangirlness lol

[laurelindorenae]

But Rahl is human. There is a heart, no matter how blackened, beating beneath that breast. He's not known for his kindness of course, but I think when it came to his own child (for the show, not the book) there would be a difference. Why on earth would he let Cara carry his child for nine months when surely there were bettering things for a Mord'Sith to be doing. He loved Nicolas off the bat when he was with Kahlan in the alternate future, why wouldn't he love a child carried by someone he cared for, for longer?

I agree. I don't think of him as purely evil, just very damaged.
