[quote=@Crimson Raven][sub][i][/i][/sub] *insert long boring boast about my hypothetical genius* Basically, thay are meant to be foils. He is so quiet because, -spoiler- Dornae can dislike him all he wants, Ferrin won't give a flip. :-P[/quote] Hmm, I see. Also lol he doesn't expect Ferrin to [i]care[/i] or be logical for that matter. In fact, the very likelihood that Ferrin wouldn't care is part of [i]why[/i] Dornae doesn't like him. He's selfish in a unique sort of way and it bothers him greatly.
