Medication can’t make you immune to the Whispers, but a combination of “natural immunity from having it before” and “robust anti-depression treatment plan” will give you a solid resistance.
…which is the kind of exacting detail Rowan would usually go into, but he doesn’t want to spend any more time around Alfhild than he has to.
Alfhild: That one got the Whispers right in his ear! The freak didn’t react at all! Something’s wrong with him!
With me?! I’ll have you know I am a blazing delight —
Jasmine (thinking): Uh-oh, if this scanner’s been busted the whole night . . .
Rowan: who’s already had the Whispers so now I am medicated!
Archie: Is that how you did it? I was so scared for you when —
Rowan: And YOU!

Ten bucks he unloads on Archie for not noticing anything the whole night.
Yeah. Hopefully it’s in a form that doesn’t lay blame, or this date might have a sad end.
That’s what I’m thinking too.
These cliffhangers are killing me. Tomorrow we might get back to Violet and Kiki et al.
I think he’s going to yell at him about sword safety again.
Why would he yell at Archie for that? He’s the victim here. He had guards who were the ones who were supposed to be looking for threats. Also that seems out of character.
Seconding the sword safety comment, particularly since it was Rowan’s heartsword specifically!
I’ll double your money on that and say that the general tone of it will be “eyes OPEN when handling sharp objects. these aren’t just sharp, they’re cut- through nearly anything, you could have hurt yourself so badly, if you’d missed a second time the fireball” and then the inelegant tears start to flow as Rowan lets himself FEEL how scared he was to lose Archie.
I have a feeling Flyboy254 meant Arching not noticing any of the hints that Rowan’s been dropping all night about how he feels, not about Archie not noticing anything that was going on with potential threats. 🙂
I’m hoping for . . .
“and YOU! THANK YOU FOR THE LOVELY EVENING, IT WAS GREAT TO MEET YOU IN PERSON! I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHY I’M STILL YELLING!”
Jasmine: Perfectly normal shock! Please take a pamphlet.
😂
I’m betting he’ll kiss him 🙂
