Heh, I just tend to follow stories as a whole -- I rarely identify with a specific character and rarely try to mentally force them into directions that may not synchronize with the forces of events within the story
Now I may mentally thrash the *writer* for making poor connections within the plot.
(A, B, C..., M, .. R.. um, ..... Profit!!!)
Carry on though, the shirt sundering is interesting to watch o.O
and I meant it in a humorous way. I just don't tend to self-identify with characters.
One does wonder what would have happened if Minorin had never seen what she saw to make the decision she did. But that didn't happen.
