FOREIGNER: Discussion Post #4

[krait]

I hope you enjoyed chapters 5 & 6, in which even more excitement finds Bren...

Discuss away! Has your view on anything changed? Do you have new suspicions or insights? Things you're hoping will happen, or hoping won't come to pass?

I absorb the honorifics quite well too -- to the point where, when someone in a later book addresses someone as nadi when it should have been nandi, I actually felt shocked before reading Bren's reaction in the next paragraph!

I think the precise details of the forms of address are not quite hammered out at this stage. Nai-ji appears to have been dropped, and I don't think Bren addressing Ilisidi as aiji-ji would quite fly later on.

Talking to Djinana is a great little bit to read.
