Ruel

They're both working together.

They're both responsible for killing Ruel.

So maybe Titania is starting this war because she assumes it has to have been someone on Winter's side.

My daughter wouldn't do that.

This provides excellent support for the idea that Titania is the she the mothers are talking about because of all the reasons you said.

And it also provides some support for a little theory we came up with earlier in this book.

that Mab, because she knows who killed Ruel, and because she suspects that the emissary Summer has chosen is one that will mislead Titania, chooses her emissary specifically to counter Elaine.

Which is just, like, levels of genius by Mab.

And it doesn't have as many games.

So this, I bought a PlayStation because I played PlayStation a lot with Ruel on tour.

Yeah.

And...

And then I threw the Port Adelaide Magpies league towel back on, strutted through the rooms, had a really bad handshake with, what's his name, the singer?

Ruel.

Ruel.

It was the worst I've ever had handshake.

And

Very, very strong.

Uh, Ruel's gonna join us, uh, very, very shortly.

Uh, he is a singer who- who the young kids are right into, right into.

Well, maybe, um-

He's gonna be playing in the, uh, legends game

... maybe A-Rod can just spin us some, uh-

I'm sure we'll get a bit of Ruel greed-

...

I'm jumping ahead here.

But later in his career, another nickname he got, ironically from a man nicknamed Muddy, Muddy Rule, Ruel, they would pin him with the moniker Balloon Face or Balloon Head.

And that is what Brick Owens was known as in dugouts, even though he was known as Brick in the newspaper.

Okay.
