Presumably, when first informed that the Cunning Man intended to take her over also, Tiffany assumed that they'd do the same, so realizing they wouldn't even try was a shock.


Plus, you know, I imagine that few people actually like being told that they're going to be killed if they don't succeed in their current task.Having other witches do something that suggests they thought you might fail is also a lot more offensive when you're a teenager with your own steading than when you're an eleven-year-old novice insecure about your own worth.Especially when you don't actually have a plan yet. It's another to be told that if you don't succeed your friends are going to kill you. It's one thing to be told that if you hadn't succeeded your friends would have had to kill you. Why was Tiffany so dismayed when she realized Granny and the others showed up as a failsafe in case the Cunning Man got her? Granny and Miss Tick told her pretty much the same thing after she fought the Hiver and she took that with far less dismay.Throw in Eskarina and an older version of Tiffany herself running around mucking with time and a premonition slipping through doesn't seem out of the question. Granny Weatherwax had problems with remembering the wrong pasts in Lords and Ladies, Old Mother Dismass has a detached retina in her Second Sight that causes all sorts of temporal confusion, a kelda can listen to all the keldas that have been and will be born, so knowledge of futures/pasts that do/never did/might exist are well established on the Disc. Not normally, but this is a very abnormal situation.Because she sort of actually wants to marry him, as in, be his wife.Why does Tiffany tell Roland she will marry him? I get that she does as the officiant, but why did she say it in the first place? I wasn't aware that First Sight and Second Thoughts led to rattling out prophecies.
