Blood 45

Chapter 45
Adie and Kahlan are cruisin' along when the coach stops and the Misters leave, presumably to use the Little Misters' Room. Adie and Kahlan ponder where they are and why, and figure out that they're in Europe, specifically, Tanimura, near the Big Stone Witch House. I can only assume they crossed the Valley of the Lost and Found (which, I remind you, is currently swarming with Baka Tau Mana swordmasters all fanatically loyal to Richard).
Kahlan and Adie speculate that they've been kidnapped to use Kahlan to manipulate Richard somehow, since “As long as you be alive, he would draw his sword on a lightning storm.” They discuss recruiting Lunetta, and comment that she's always touching her Force, which is unusual. Maybe she has a lot of midichlorians.
Later, Kalhan tries with limited success to chat up Lunetta. Brogan comes in and snarls a bit, so Kahlan tries to goad him into killing her to keep from being used as Richard-bait. What is the deal with Kahlan seeking suicide over Richard? It's happened three times in four books, and it's getting annoying. \~/ Anyway, Lunetta recognizes what she's doing and distracts Brogan, and the scene sort of dribbles off.
Our, um, heroines eventually reach the Big Stone Witch House, where they are met by a woman in a red dress. Red Dress Woman takes them to a comfortable room, informing them that if they try to escape they'll end up in agony. Red Dress Woman reveals herself to be Merissa, one of Richard's smokin' hawt teachers, and tells Kahlan about how she and Richard used to fuck like bunnies. The point of this, of course, is to make Kahlan jealous, because everything in the entire universe must ultimately revolve around Richard.
And the chapter ends. That was dull.
Drinks: One.
