[Dragaera] Tsalmoth, SPOILERS sequence of events chapter 13

[frieda2133 at aol.com]

 Hi,
Could be that the spell prevented the conversation from being stored in long term memory.
Cawti might have noticed a change as the spell wore off and that would be why she started calling his name urgently.  
She might have been talking to him for hours to pull him back.  Like here, they say people in comas can sometimes hear you.  Or on tv when a person is dying or even dead and the person tries to talk them into staying or coming back and then the person suddenly coughs or whatever and wakes up.

  Thanks for answering my question, Frieda.
I have two problems with that.  One is that Cawti says "We were talking" about spying on Shireth, but you have only her doing the talking.  You can get over that by saying Vlad's amnesia extended backward from when he was hit by the spell (retrograde amnesia of a kind).  The other is that after "a couple of hours", I can't see Cawti calling his name urgently any more.  I'd expect more like tender concern or frustration.  But maybe that's just me.

Hi,

I was thinking that it wasn’t that his memory was affected.  I was thinking Vlad wasn’t really inside his head.  Cawti kept talking thinking Vlad can hear her.   The last thing he heard and we read is “we have to find her”.  Hours later, when he comes back in his head, he hears and we read “Vlad?”.  He doesn’t realize any time has gone by.
I think sequence is 
“find her.”Cawti talking more.  Vlad not saying or doing anything or hearing anything.Eyes roll up. Vlad falls over.They move Vlad to his flat and lay him on his bed.Hours pass with Cawti constantly saying or shouting “Vlad!?” .Vlad comes back in his head and hears the last “Vlad?”  .

Have a good week everyone.

 Vlad misses some conversation after “so we have to find her” because he’s
sorcerously attacked and it affects his memory. And he wakes up in his bed
where Cawti fills him in on the plan to infiltrate another group because he
forgets they discussed it.
