Summary: Leo has a few complaints about the tragic Mother Confessor.
Traveling Companions
The Mother Confessor is a mystery. Leo can’t quite bring himself to call her Kahlan—somehow, her air of tragedy makes informality impossible.
The Wizard he understands—Zedd is cautious and wise and disapproving, all the things one would expect.
And Cara is an altogether different kind of mystery—sly looks and surprised laughs, sharp tongue and easy to provoke. She’s the sort of mystery Leo has always wanted to have in his life.
But the Mother Confessor—her sorrow sets Leo’s teeth on edge. True, they are trying to prevent the entire Land of the Living from being destroyed—but does she have to be so tragic all the time?
At first, she reminded Leo of the fairy queen that must be saved—now she’s starting to get on his nerves. Why can’t she lighten up already?
