Cruel Mercy: What he did with the waterskin to one of the false Ruh: gave the man with an abdominal wound that would kill slowly enough for him to begin dying of thirst too, and left the skin within crawling distance.Constantly Curious: As a child, he was the Elephant's Child, who learned very quickly and cracked puzzles like they were chestnuts, so his father would give him Shaggy Dog Stories to puzzle over.He lies quite a lot throughout his story, though Denna seems to see some of his lies easily.
