Tindwyl’s training
I chose to only show a few sections of Tindwyl training Elend—I figured that these could get laborious if I did too many of them. This isn’t “My Fair Lady,” after all.
We never get to see Elend learning to duel, for instance. As a writer, I tend to react strongly against things I’ve seen done too often. That doesn’t always make me not include them in books, but sometimes it does. Training a man with the sword, for instance, seems to have been done enough that you can just assume that it happened—and imagine it happening—without me going into detail about Elend’s practice sessions.
This scene that is included, however, is rather important. Elend’s new look, and his decision to let his hair get cut, represent the first change we pull off for him: The visual one.
