My first post,
although I=B4ve lurked for a while.
Greetings all but let=B4s move straight to business.
Spectacled Bear beat me at the finishing line but nevertheless:
Indeed Jahlee=B4s attempt at Nettle was a Crime of Passion and not an =
act of her inhuma nature. The quotes that support this on p315:
"I wanted him so long..."
Meaning Horn/Silk
and
p316
"Something like a smile touched Jahlee=B4s lips. "He had so many, Rani, =
in Gaon. I couldn=B4t kill them all."=20
With Rani, probably the female form of Rajan (Queen), Jahlee is =
adressing Nettle. Jahlee states that the Rajan (Horn/silk) had to many =
wifes in Gaon for her to kill them all. Perahaps Rajans rescue (saving =
her from the hole/grave) kindled her interest since she according to the =
quote presumably was in love with Horn/Silk as early as in Gaon.
