Ummm... I think Aliera would be smart enough to know that anything she 
told Paarfi of Roundwood would be likely to end up in a book, no matter 
what kind of confidence it was given in...

Dragonlords tend to have a low opinion of the other Houses--a betrayal 
of trust would nearly be expected--hence, no trust would be given in the 
first place.

As a result, I doubt very much Aliera would have ever told him anything 
she didn't want printed.

Or, like Morrolan, she might not care what others say about her. I 
suspect she'd be more likely to be offended at what Paarfi says about 
her friends and heroes (Adron, Morrolan, Sethra, &c) that anything he 
says about her personally.

Bah. As long as she can justify that the murder was honorable to 
herself, I doubt she would care about what other people thought.
