Farewell even to our Scottish name, so famed in martial story...

Another pivotal set of chapters. It's all coming together now...

Next week we'll read Part IV chapters 5 and 6.

Okay, going to basically post what I posted rot-13'd last week when I just had to read these chapters...

So what I really wanted was for Ewen to believe that Keith hadn't betrayed him, and I didn't get that, but that was always completely unrealistic (I didn't really think that was going to happen, because it didn't make sense with their characters/interactions so far). But at least he believed Keith when he explained himself and didn't keep thinking that (and just so beautifully and tropily done), and Lochiel hasn't been taken either, so Ewen didn't betray him, whew! <3

Hey, this way we get this amazing scene of Ewen slowly deciding to believe Keith and regaining trust in him! Beautifully tropey indeed.

Lochiel is fine! (As he was historically, of course). We haven't quite heard the last about Ewen's 'betrayal', but I shall say no more for now...
