scanlan asks ’ what’s my mother’s name? ’ and grog is sad because he doesn’t know scanlan’s mothers name. he doesn’t even know his own mother’s name

thank you for making it even worse!  it’s why he asks because he wants to know, he wants to know his friend and he wants to know the name of the mother that raised someone he loves because he has no way of knowing his own.

he knocked nervously on the door, and when it opened he quickly said, “ hi, i’m your neighbor from across the hall in #305, but there’s like, a lot smoke coming out from your apartment and i was just checking in to make sure you’re okay or if we should evacuate the building or something ? ” 

“ It must be hard being here, ”  she trails off, the tome closing and resting on her lap, clasped between two hands.  The ranger isn’t silly enough to assume she knows his pain.  Her loss had been smaller though still significant,  talking about her mother hurt but she and Vax still would talk about the memories they had.  The relationship between the De Rolo siblings did not appear as close and she would not presume what they spoke of.  “  I’m going about this all wrong aren’t I? ”  she nervously pulled her braid over her shoulder. Over their years of travel, she had learned so much about the gunslinger but this,  his family,  they were still a mystery.  “ I simply meant to say,  if you did want to talk about them, I’d listen.  I’d love to hear about them. ” 

I actually did this recently,  here! (with quite a few tw warnings attached)

I wish there was more known about Vesh, aside from the small tidbits of information we get from Will and Matt, and Kash of course..

Some things I can add to that is, whatever Kash & Zahra did (which I think they tried to kill her) Vesh has gone into hiding.  Kash thinks he has some semblance of freedom from his goddess now that she’s disappeared but it will always sit in the back of his mind.  She’s not dead and she’s pissed.  He is under no illusion that he can be happy and have a normal life.  There is no settling down and getting married because he still is married and he has no doubts that Vesh will come back for him when she’s ready.

I also think that since the Bind’ach Maan ritual,  Kashaw’s live is intrisically linked with Vesh’s.  Trying to destroy her would ultimately destroy him and vice versa.  It would make sense about how he is able to keep surviving things when (as a lower level) he should probably be dead.  It’s the bond with Vesh that keeps him alive because she is only able to amass power on this plane if Kashaw is alive because he is her opposite,  he is the light to her darkness.
