It's hard to tell exactly how Thrawn thinks some times, to be honest and I've sort of given up on it. He's the inter galactic man of mystery and I kinda like him that way. <br /><br />I didn't have many stuffed toys growing up mainly because I wanted toy ships, typical but Rumi has a place of honour and nothing anyone, including Thrawn can say will change my mind on that. Besides he was a gift from Shiv, Cati and the gang.merlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345465867559490309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7949649052123238769.post-19485922810956938092010-01-27T18:05:00.190+01:002010-01-27T18:05:00.190+01:00Merly, I don't Thrawn thinks the same why that...Merly, I don't Thrawn thinks the same why that most Chiss do, either.

I would have loved to have seen Ged's face though.<br /><br />That whole Chiss naming practice seemed very odd to me as well but Thrawn explained the Chiss do not believe the soul inhabits the body before birth but rather waits to see if the body and the soul are compatible, so the Chiss wait.<br /><br />He said the tradition dates back to the beginning of the ice age of his planet so perhaps it has more to do with seeing if the child lives or not. He wasn't very specific and I didn't think to ask.<br /><br />Rumi sits in the bedroom, near the bed actually. Don't tell any one but when Thrawn is off base then I tend to have Rumi in the bed with me sometimes. You'd think I'd be beyond the whole stuffed toy thing but I guess not.merlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345465867559490309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7949649052123238769.post-71692559729292350132010-01-26T20:33:57.524+01:002010-01-26T20:33:57.524+01:00Hey, you're back and all is well, I take it.
...Hey, you're back and all is well, I take it.<br /><br />Why would Za'ar think it alright to just <i>tell</i> Larson. If you've been keeping this quiet, even after your collaspe, doesn't that say "maybe I'm not ready to tell the entire fleet just yet?!" Sorry. Loved this line:<i>"The two of you… it’s like watching two alpha male banthas fight for the rights to the herd sometimes."</i> So true. Mom laughed at that one.<br /><br />Thanks for the clear up on the naming of the child, although I wonder why after a week? Tradition, or ancient pragmatics (if the child lives more than a week, we keep 'em?) Interesting idea, though. <br /><br />This parting much be so hard on him, leaving the both of you...and it sounded like he doesn't plan on being on-base in the next while, but that might just be my reading of it. <br /><br />Oh, I had a weird question...what ever happened to the Bantha that Shiv gave you?S. is reading obsessively...https://www.blogger.com/profile/00927687137633390560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7949649052123238769.post-16210671636359553252010-01-26T13:06:07.819+01:002010-01-26T13:06:07.819+01:00thank you, it was... interesting.thank you, it was... interesting.merlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345465867559490309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7949649052123238769.post-39048134561038591742010-01-25T08:33:29.922+01:002010-01-25T08:33:29.922+01:00welcome back.
