Talk:Besk

So I've come across the issue of figuring out when Besk actually met Kai. Two different excerpts are potentially contradictory, and I want some input before marking the page complete.

From Chapter 1: “My lord,” Besk said, stopping on the wall-walk. “This is most unseemly of you. I'm reminded of the child you were, not the king you have become.”

From Chapter 5: Don’t be foolish, I thought to myself. I’d survived for centuries without Besk looking over my shoulder.

Chapter 1 seems to imply Besk has known Kai since Kai was a child. Chapter 5, on the other hand, implies Besk didn't meet Kai until after Kai had lived for 200+ years. It is possibly that the Chapter 1 excerpt merely references Kai having acted like a child, running off on wild adventures, and at the same time the Chapter 5 excerpt could be understood as Besk not traveling with Kai during all of his adventures.

So which do you think it is? In the article, as I've got it now, I say Besk met Kai after 200+ years. --Blaze1616 (talk) 13:12, 25 June 2015 (MDT)
