Basically, the rules are what the rules are for all of the forums, plus these:

-please no cussing

-be respectful (i sound like a teacher here)

that's it!

~Brindle~

the reason Daine and Numair name their son after a carcuss desecrating hateful monster is....

Numair is an absinthe downing introverted shut-in who lives vicariously through books and uses magic and sex as an outlet to hide the emotional damage received during awkward youth. In other words, he's INSANE.

Daine is an emotionally inbalanced, immaculatly concepted animal from a broken family who lived in a wolf clan for far too long. In other words, she's INSANE.

Therefore any offspring they may produce will also be INSANE. How better to advertise INSANITY then being named after a creature who spends his time threading human bones through fouled hair and rolling in gore and **?

Now THAT makes sense to me. ;D

Haha, rock on Daine and Numair!

hmm... any ideas what the next one will be called?

Haha

it makes complete sense.

as for other names for anymore insane offspring, ill leave that up to you ali, and in a way, i almost dont want to know what you will come up with in that numair obsessed, complex space of craziness that you call your mind.

i've been doing research on this fact :p would be easier if a friend didn't have a book i need

lol. yeah i thought that was a bit disturbing too.

you have to read the book! that has so much more about them. yay, i'm not the only one who thinks it

P.S. How do you guys pronounce "Salmalin?" I've always pronounced it "Salm-ah-LEEN," which doesn't sound so bad with "Sarralyn."

I am eternally grateful!!

And I LOVE HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE!!

There's one other thing you didn't point out, however.

In both, the hot wizard/sorcerer dude is way older than the girl.

And if you think about it, isn't Numair the opposite of Howl lookwise? I can't remember what color eyes Numair has...isn't it dark, though?

But anyways...

DxN forever!

Also, RIKASH IS THE MAN. I mean... Stormwing. Rikash is the Stormwing. I almost cried when he died... almost. nearly.

Has anyone heard the song 'You're all I need to get by', sung by Marvin Gaye and someone else (I forget who). I heard it before I read 'Realm of the Gods' and I could suddenly see Daine and Numair singing the song. I couldn't wait to read the book to see whether my sudden vision was correct. I love the song and the book and love Numair/Daine. They are the only Pierce stories on ff.net that I read.

love Daine+Numair the best pair ever!!

rock on!

Yea i think it would be Numairsra though... coz when Daine finds out who her dad is, she thinks about changing her name to Weirynsra. so i kinda figured that sra was talking about the fathers name and sri was talking about the mothers name

sorry, i just realised how confusing that must have been... i was replying to a thing that was like halfway up the page =D

Omg, i was watching Indiana Jones the other night, and it struck me how similar Indy is to Numair. Think about it... scholarly, get into adventures alot, kinda womanising...

Yh i thought that too. but not too much. indy and numair are very different too! i luv daine + numair! i mean they're just so cute!

Ha, that's makes sense, actually:) Numair is sorta like Indy... Except for that whole "physical effort" thing. It ain't very scholarly.
