Kvothe tries to follow along as Tempi performs the Ketan. We compare the Ketan to Tai Chi, and think about what it means in Adem culture for Tempi to even passively allow Kvothe to learn it. We also discuss the unverisimilitudinous way in which Tempi treats his sword, and make light of gaslighting.

Kvothe asks Tempi more about how and when the Adem use their language of gestures. We talk about the barbarity of children, the Adem conception of their civilisation, and discuss a letter about rennel wood.

Kvothe asks Tempi about the reason for the Adem’s gestural emotiveness. We talk about how Tempi explains himself, and how Kvothe’s gradual learning of the language onboards the reader to a storytelling technique Rothfuss continues to employ when dealing with the Adem. We also talk about how everyone likes secrets!

Kvothe realizes that Tempi is doing a lot with his hands. We talk about hands, and their connection to magic, the nuances of how the Adem use hands to communicate and how it ties into the worldbuilding exercise of building the Adem culture.

Tempi learns about ticks, and Kvothe gets a clue. Jordana goes off about ticks, we discuss what Tempi’s lack of tick knowledge says about Ademre, the ethics of mommetry, and Tempi’s comic relief.
