And I can't get over Erendis' reaction to Aldarion's failing to return on the promised day. Not worry, not concern, no thought at all that something might have happened to him, just pure childish resentment at not getting what she wants. As far as I'm concerned that alone proves she never had any real feeling for Aldarion the man at all.

I’m sure she was way beyond the point of worry, and felt Aldarion didn’t concern himself with the pain she had gone though for so long. Repeated hurts caused by love for someone form very ugly calluses over the years, and total self-sacrifice, though romantic, is not practical when talking about needs rather than wants.
They were two proud and strong people without effective communication skills or a descent postal system, the poor dears.
