It could be used by Capas as a type of punishment everyone would do anything to avoid.<br />And I agree, so many unanswered questions, and they just keep piling up. :)Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-2133003860114963132012-03-18T12:13:49.026+01:002012-03-18T12:13:49.026+01:00redhead, that's well, awful! :) Now I'm an...redhead, that's well, awful! :) Now I'm anxious to know what happens next and which of my guesses are correct and which aren't.Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-79168880684385702262012-03-18T12:12:01.637+01:002012-03-18T12:12:01.637+01:00That was my guess. :)That was my guess. :)Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-85726073309939735362012-03-18T11:31:24.714+01:002012-03-18T11:31:24.714+01:00I believe it said that Wraithstone used to be used...I believe it said that Wraithstone used to be used as a punishment on humans, but not any longer. Given that detail, I imagine we'll probably encounter some "Gentled" humans eventually. <br /><br />About why it's not typically used, I imagine that there are always some things that are considered too inhumane for any given society. Even in Camorr, where it's totally acceptable to watch prisoners get eaten by sharks, they've got to have some lines people generally don't cross, right?<br /><br />There are so many unanswered questions right now, though, I can't wait to get into Part 3!Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683230093775720398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-16889402638560084702012-03-18T00:58:46.839+01:002012-03-18T00:58:46.839+01:00Ines, my response to so many of your comments is s...Ines, my response to so many of your comments is simple "just wait". ooohhh, the suspense is just about killing me!redheadhttp://littleredreviewer.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-64766886849171087792012-03-17T22:47:40.458+01:002012-03-17T22:47:40.458+01:00Yeah, it would be ok if the humans could understan...Yeah, it would be ok if the humans could understand what you say to them. :)Stephaniehttp://realbooks4ever.tumblr.com/post/19467619310/the-lies-of-locke-lamora-pt-2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-66218407361823671042012-03-17T22:01:01.749+01:002012-03-17T22:01:01.749+01:00I really should read what I write before I publish...I really should read what I write before I publish it. :)<br />It's meant to say "if it got you killed afterwards." :)Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119611878721554991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638187488800760223.post-11659545617144548652012-03-17T21:59:51.743+01:002012-03-17T21:59:51.743+01:00Stephanie, I was thinking if the animals are docil...Stephanie, I was thinking if the animals are docile and can be used in all situations without getting scared, I'm sure humans could work in the same situations.
