When we spoke, she mentioned that the Green-Eyed Spirits were quite rare up until now, rare enough that they were more myth than established fact. It makes me wonder why their presence is starting to escalate.

( it was hard to tell what the spirits were aiming for, when their methods of communication were so convoluted. still, if they were trying to communicate, why now? were they getting close to something that nobody else had in the past?

Matt remembers Robin's introduction of sorts, and can absolutely see why that could leave a sour taste in someone's mouth. truth be told he'd been fairly indifferent to her at the time, but he's certainly grown fond of her with knowing her a little better. )

I think you're right. I don't think she does realize exactly what situations are like down here. She's been in that tower longer than any of us have been here, long enough she might not remember exactly what it's like to be on the ground in the thick of things. The spirit attack might have been a reminder of what it's like for the rest of us.

( it might give her increased perspective, though admittedly, in the worst possible of ways. )
