This week's discussion of Royal Assassin is about a lot of conversations. Nighteyes, Patience, King Shrewd, the Fool, Kettricken, and Verity all demand and need time from FitzChivalry. Our favorite assassin is busy with Verity's task, convincing Nighteyes they aren't pack, and his longing (and dreaming) of Molly. His need for companionship wars with promises made to those he loves, and the ever-looming threat of Forged Ones attack closer to home than ever before.
