Eugenides made it to round three, but he's losing.... Vote now!

ETA (because I just couldn't resist, it's perfect):

"I've seen him suffer setbacks." Ornon looked at the queen and away. "I have never seen him, in the end, lose. He just persists until he comes out ahead. No match is finished for him until he has won." Ornon shrugged expressively. "He won't quit, and he won't thank you for interfering."

From page 372 of my copy of KoA

E again TA: Yes, it's Gen against Alanna next! And it's Howl against Katsa. HOW AWESOME it will be if it's Howl against Gen? THE GODS WILL SMILE. And so will MWT and DWJ. THIS MUST HAPPEN.
(That's all.)

ALSO ALSO ALSO: I will be away over the weekend and unable to vote (or to participate in voting party comments, boo) so if one person can vote for me... I would vote for Gen and Howl. Thanks all!

And Ornon would have long political discussions about what to do with a king who sticks knives in peoples' eyes. And Gen would make sheep noises at him.

And then Gen would complain about it to...everyone.
But Attolia would give him a small grin of approval.
Which would just make his night. :D
And then they would exchange some ridiculously romantic words about how it's okay to throw inkpots and stick knives in peoples eyes.

Dude. If Attolia gave me a grin of approval, it would make my YEAR.

[elle-winters.livejournal.com]

well first you'd have to throw a knife in someones eye-out of rage. haha

[elvenjaneite.livejournal.com]

True. There must be other, less violent ways, though. Who does she smile at and why? (Real smiles, not *I'm going to have your liver for breakfast, just you wait* scary smiles.)

[elle-winters.livejournal.com]

Gen, Relius

is that it?

[elvenjaneite.livejournal.com]

Phresine? Or am I making that up? I think I'm making that up.

[elle-winters.livejournal.com]

I think it was more of a serious frown that phresine got.

Did she smile at Costis?

[elvenjaneite.livejournal.com]

Aha! p. 375 in KoA she smiles at both Teleus and Gen.

[elle-winters.livejournal.com]

Ha! I knew he was on that list

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?

[ninedaysaqueen.livejournal.com]

The 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.

also I think this side discussion deserves its own post. :-D

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)

I don't remember Attolia's smile but this particular thread definietly make me smile so hard. :D
