Discussion-y Discussions!
It started with a post about some friendly competition during the YA Fantasy Showdown,
to which aspectabund said this: He'd just like, catch it and throw it back harder and stick it right in her EYE!
http://community.livejournal.com/sounis/398470.html?thread=9934470#t9934470 (the orignal post and discussion)
and went on a tangent nicely into a discussion about Attolia and her infrequent smile, the real one, mind you not the scary "I'll eat your liver for breakfast" smile.
To which Jade suggested this side discussion deserves its own post. :-D
So this is what we gots:
Aha! p. 375 in KoA she smiles at both Teleus and Gen.
Okay so: Gen, Teleus, (we know by infering Relius)
Am I making it up about Costis? (like when she calls him in her room to make sure Gen stays in bed....) maybe I'm making that up...And what about Sophos in CoKs?
queen smiles at Costis when Gen calls him his watchdog.
Also Eddis. It's in QoA, a hesitant smile that makes Eddis think there's hope for Gen, around the polecat/vulpine exchange, right before the horse tosses his head like someone had twitched the bit in its mouth because SOMEBODY FORGOT GEN WAS IN THEIR MEGARON, LOCKED UP AWAY FROM EVERYONE ELSE.
Does her satisfied smile at Ornon count? After she offers Gen her wine cup and defuses the situation - something Ornon was unable to do? (p96)
So, so far we have: Goat Foot GEN, We Protect Our Queen TELEUS, Secret Almost-Lover RELIUS, Sweet Costis, and Just Awesome HELEN. And Possibly Sheep Lover Ornon.
