#fox choosing to put aside his anger at the montrei-vayirs in favor of putting his foot in the door for his son

[greatshell-rider]

okay last thoughts for the end of treason’s shore. lots happens in the last couple chapters so i thought it’d be better if i just bullet pointed rather than make a million one sentence posts :p

- what the fuck was tau even up to for the thirty odd years between dropping inda off on shore and picking retired!evred up at ala larkadhe. gimme a book about THAT smith. pls

- thank every god above and beneath that evred was a good dad, enough to be called “papa-evred” HELLO my heart. i would die for his kids. “The magic rings he had given to his sons; Hastred and Tanrid seemed to like knowing where the other was.” hi yes i love brothers. brothers yes

- both hastred and tanrid being autistic 😌👌👌

- fox’s old smile when he tells inda he renamed the knife “treason”. we love ourselves a bastard

- inda’s son jarend being like tanrid (og) but protecting kenda rather than “training” him by beatings. kenda making everyone laugh (you just know he Does put eggs in the rider’s shoes like dogpiss!kendrid)

- vedrid rode with evred to ala larkadhe but i wonder what he did afterwards. probably didn’t tag along with evred and tau as awkward third wheel :p

- we don’t get any more about signi, valda, durasnir, rajnir, or any of the venn! i don’t know if we ever learn more about signi and inda’s kiddo. imagine having signi as your mom damn i’ll sign up

- hey wait a second where did fox stash the knife so no one stole it :sus: unless it just stayed with the marlovan navy lol. hey barend make sure nothing happens to my magic dragon-prowed ghost ship imma want it back someday :)

- sorry but i am just gonna be miserable that inda didn’t get to spend the rest of his life with all of his friends together. why can’t tenthen castle and sailing the sea exist in the same place huh??? explain that one to me smh

- more to be said about inda and tdor but i’d just ramble on gnashing my teeth about various things so. im glad the healer mage could help his arm enough for him to do drills and go on border rides :)

- “Tdor had a new habit, watching Inda’s training sessions with Jarend, Kendred, Whipsticks’ Tanrid, and the other castle boys. They so often ended up with dust flying as Inda and his sons wrestled until Inda lay laughing in the dirt, the boys leaping on his stomach with no discipline whatsoever. Tdor could not explain to herself the dizzying, sharp-edged elation the sight gave her. But sometimes the bliss was so intense it made her weep.”
