In The Novice, Bel Arralade's party guests include Tayend of Tremmelin, Velend of Genard, and Ambassador Dannyl. She speaks to Dannyl, and mentions his assistant's disinterest in women, and hints that he might be a lad. Dannyl pretends to have no idea about Tayend's sexual orientation. The Bel mentions how she met Akkarin on his journeys 10 years ago, and she says he travelled to the mountains. This information is of interest to Dannyl in his research into Akkarin's travels. |
