Dear Kessa,

I have this Aiel stalker who says that he loves me one moment and is trying to kill me next. What do I do?

Loves, Your favorite Cairhienin

Dear Your Favorite Cairhienin,

Sounds like true love to me. I suppose not everyone likes the chance of a knife in the back, however. If you want to get rid of an Aiel, think about what will offend their sense of honor. Use that Cairhienin subtlety to annoy and confuse your stalker. When you see your stalker skulking behind you, turn and give them a big hug. Ask lots of questions about every little detail of their life. Stalk in return. I have a feeling that stalker is going to run all the way back to the Waste once the challenge is gone from his/her hunt.

Best of Luck, Kessa

Dear Kessa,

What should I do with two guys that doesn't get along, but they need to work together.

Greetings, Fierce lady

Dear Fierce Lady,

Time to live up to your name, my dear. These two men need a common enemy to band together. Either find someone for them to mutually hate or become that person yourself. Make them do horrible jobs for you and act as haughty as you can. While they are griping about you, they will decide to form a truce and work together. Of course, this may backfire, so there is always threatening to close them into a room for a long soul-baring session of love and togetherness. Tell them they will have to sit together expressing their feelings and they most likely will find that they have no problem working together.

Sincerely, Kessa
