#I think their treason relationship is hitting too close to home atm and that's why I was shaky after treason

[spectres-fulcrum]

I restarted the Thrawn 2017 audiobook at work and early stage Thranto is so good.

I love love love Thrawn being out of Eli's childhood myths and having to confront that from both sides. I love how Thrawn's solely interested in Eli-no one else. Because he knows his words lies solely in Eli's hands. And Eli calls kraytspit. I love the line about Eli having to tear his eyes from Thrawn, I love that Thrawn's first words to Eli is about how they spoke the common language when their two people traded together-they had a history, long before them.

I love Eli being so scared of being pulled off of his path but it'll be a week-what's the worst that can happen?

Knowing now, that it ends with Vah'nya and Un'hee and him being willing to kill them out of affection in a Chiss like way. From a Chiss warship. With the trust of some of the greatest admirals the galaxy knows. The worst that can happen is the journey to Lt. Commander, and after that, he relaxes into the place he didn't realize he was always meant to be.

It's so funny seeing them at the beginning-but so delicious. Idk if this is going to be a full reread/listen but it's so good. I love Thrawn 2017 Thranto so much. Like that book has *chef's kisses* dynamics.
