Suddenly I need to find something in last part of the Deed that I just can’t spot in my copy–but I’m sure it’s there. We’ve both looked and we’re not seeing it. Somewhere–I think but am not sure that it’s between the time Paks gets to Chaya and meets the dying king, and the time she leaves Vérella following Kieri–someone reveals that Kieri’s elven mother chose to make him look more human than half-elven.
If anyone can find that passage and tell me who said that, to whom they said it, where it was said, and in what circumstance–that would be very, very helpful. I’m revising a scene where I don’t trust my “new” version of that story told from a very different POV and need to check to be sure they are either in accord or there’s a reason for them not to be. It’s important to know by what chain of informants Kieri learned this. This just caught my eye last night.
Thanks.

On page 900 in my soft cover version, 4th printing:
Paks visiting Halveric after leaving to go looking for the King. The Elf Queen visits. Aliam asks: “If he is he prince….why doesn’t he look like it?”… Elf Queen says “Even then, there were humans who feared…so my daughter thought it would be easier for her children, if they looked more human”.

Thank you! And in fact I’d misremembered who it was and where the scene was…no wonder I couldn’t find it. Glad my aging memory kicked up a big ??? when I was going over that scene last night and that you found it for me.

As I was skimming to find the above scene. I noticed all the hostility in various people. Which makes the teaser of the murderer from the previous snippet much more speculative.

How about a report on how the Messiah went?

Oh–OK. I’ll make it a post.
