Vashet wants to know about why Kvothe’s hands are strong and supple. We discuss Vashet’s specific choice of word, and how it will helps us come to understand much about the Ademic attitudes on pages to come. We talk about Vashet’s teaching style, and their potentially problematique ‘hot for teacher’ dynamic.

Kvothe calls Vashet’s bluff. We talk about the well-reasoned gamble Kvothe takes and what it says about him, and Vashet’s possibly lecherous commentary.

Carceret sits down to taunt Kvothe, and walks away with less than she bargained for. We discuss Carceret’s motivation, how Rothfuss shows us different facets of Ademic thought, and how to avoid depicting a culture as a monolith.
