About This Quote
It’s true that the words of a Bard are never taken at face value, but there is something to be said about the way Aisling talks about her tricksiness. She obviously has a sense of humor, and it’s obvious she’s trying to lighten the mood with the way she said “tricksy wight, my sweet.” She also speaks of those who make her seem like a perfect knight. It sounds as if Aisling is referring to someone who makes her seem less than perfect. She could be talking about anyone, but it seems more likely that she’s talking about someone who makes her look foolish.
