So since Siobhan has never met Allirea, she’d be able to factor Allirea into her plans if for example she does go ahead and request the full memory-blast from Elspeth.
I understand her point about not wanting to be out of commission right now, but I expect she WILL want the memory blast sometime pretty soon, since tacticians are generally quite hungry for all the information they can get.
(I had to stop here and think about whether Siobhan’s power would actually get better with access to more information—if I’m understanding it right the answer is “only so far as that information would help her clarify her goals,” which, y’know, is far from insignificant.)
Anyway, after the memory blast, Siobhan would be able to remember and plan for Allirea while Addy wouldn’t, which I could see making for some critical differences down the road.
I’m also consumed with curiosity about how Bella and Allirea are getting along. Will Allirea feel threatened by Bella’s immunity to her power, or will they be BFFs by the time we meet them? Bella and Allirea and Pera all have sort of negative/shieldy powers—which, come to think of it, might have some bearing on why Pera registered as a singer to Bella. (None of this is an honest request for spoilers, I’m just musing aloud.)
This is fascinating, thanks.
