> > A minstrel is someone who tries to do good in a court setting

>> **u/ZeroNihilist** [+21]  (2 hours later)
>> 
>> Simpler to say "a Minstrell is a court Singer".

> **u/Fredlage** [+14]  (7 minutes later)

> Is it my impression, or have these chapters become shorter and shorter? Anyway, I guess we finally know why Aaron tried to compare Ana to the Comet King's wife.

> >SEVEN MINUTES, JALA. THAT WAS SEVEN MINUTES AND FOURTEEN SECONDS.

> I googled "bible 7:14" and got the following verses (It's probably Isiah, although it *is* his second meeting of the day):
> 
> Isiah 7:14:
> >Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.
> 
> 2 Chronicles 7:14
> > if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

> Alternatively, he was in there for 434 seconds, which has [interesting correspondences](http://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_434.php), especially relating to birth and to thrones.

>> 
>> Alternating the pattern we get 343, which corresponds to [a different kind of Halo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/343_Industries).

> > I'm pretty and charismatic
> 
> Um, that wasn't the demonstration of charisma I expected. More.... painfully blunt. Though I guess it was the right thing to say to the Comet King, so she read the situation correctly and maybe that's a demonstration of charisma?

>> **u/ulyssessword** [+23]  (2 hours later)
>> 
>> She's utilitarian-charismatic, not deontolological-charismatic.  She does things that end up with people following her and being inspired and devoted to her, not things that are traditionally associated with that result.
>> 
>> Also, "charisma" is an interesting word choice, as [one definition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charisma#Divinely_conferred_charisma) has charisma being divinely granted gifts/abilities.

>> Possibly she will be mocking people as they run away from their problems, too.

> **u/Taborask** [+2]  (8 hours later)

> I immediately thought of Batman's sidekick Robin, not that she gave off a boy wonder vibe.
