<\/svg>This article contains spoilers for The Wheel of Time<\/strong> season 3 episodes 1, 2, and 3.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, The Wheel of Time<\/a><\/em> has decided to take a relationship between two women that was exceedingly close but not clearly defined in the books \u2014 in this case that of Elayne and Aviendha \u2014 and make it much more specific. Robert Jordan, it seems, may have been fond of innuendo, particularly among his women characters, but the series writers are apparently not satisfied with mere hints of sisterly affection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, remember in season 1<\/a> when it was revealed that Siuan and Moiraine were quite intimate behind closed doors, even though they butted heads in public? The bond that Jordan referred to as \u201cpillow friends\u201d was common among isolated Aes Sedai Novices, but how do we explain the seemingly out-of-nowhere flirtation between Elayne and Aviendha in the opening episodes of The Wheel of Time<\/em> season 3<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\r\n\n\t\t
