True.

She's definitely not a hugger. I just want Richard to grab and hug her.

**crash landing** · 05-19-2010, 07:40 PM

I can see that

Richard being the one to force a hug upon her

Burn Our History · 05-19-2010, 08:01 PM

And who knows.... maybe she'll soften a little and feel glad about the hug and maybe... shock... reciprocate.

I'm all for a Richard/Cara hug.

I can see her giving him the bro pat on the back and then clearing her throat when he goes in for the bear hug

and then a group hug with Cara secretly smiling on the inside but still rolling her eyes like crazy, please.

This needs to happen

I was re-reading the end of BotF and I would of loved this Cara/Richard(& Kahlan) moment to of been in the show, or something like it.
Tab can really rock the comedy aspect of it and I would of loved to of seen Craig/Richard's expression to her comments(s).

Quote:

Richard awakened with a start. Kahlan was curled up with her back to his chest. The wound in his shoulder from the mriswith queen ached. He had let an army surgeon put a poultice on it, and then, too exhausted to stand any longer, he had fallen onto the bed in the guest room he had been using. He hadn't even taken off his boots, and the uncomfortable pain in his hip told him that he still wore the Sword of Truth, and he was lying on it.

Kahlan stirred in his arms, a feeling that swelled him with joy, but then he remembered the thousands of dead, the thousands who were dead because of him, and his joy evaporated.

"Good morning, Lord Rahl," came a cheery voice from above.

He frowned up at Cara and groaned in greeting. Kahlan squinted in the sunlight streaming in the window.

Cara waggled a hand over the two of them. "It works better with your clothes off."

Richard frowned. His voice came as a hoarse croak. "What?"

She seemed mystified by the question. “I believe you will find such things work better without clothes,"

She put her hands to her hips. "I thought you would know at least that much."

Now that was funny

sprezzatura · 05-20-2010, 08:29 AM

They do have some great moments in the books. There's a moment in the Temple of the Winds that I love. Even though Richard's not to pleased with her during their conversation.

Oh man, i need to read the books

Burn Our History · 05-20-2010, 08:31 AM

I could actually see her coming back that way. Zedd breaking the spell and all of them waking up from it to Cara being a smart mouth.

sprezzatura · 05-20-2010, 08:42 AM

This is another moment from the last few pages of that book too. I just get the sense that Cara gets a laugh from teasing Richard

. Also a small bit of Cara/Kahlan near the end.

Quote:

A few days later, on a fine spring afternoon, as Richard and Kahlan strolled hand in hand through the streets, checking on the cleanup of the destruction from the battle, and the construction that was already beginning to repair what had been destroyed, Richard had a sudden thought. He turned, feeling the cool breeze and warm sun on his face.

"You know, I've demanded the surrender of the lands of the Midlands, and I don't even know how many there are, or all their names."

"Well, then, I guess I have a lot to leach you," she said. "You'll just have to keep me around."

A smile overcame him. "I need you. Now, and always." He cupped her cheek. "I can't believe we're together, at last." He glanced up at the three women and two men not three paces behind them. "If only we could be alone."

Cara arched an eyebrow. "Is that a hint, Lord Rahl?"

"No, it's an order."

Cara shrugged. "Sorry, but we can't follow that order out here. You need protection. Do you know, Mother Confessor, that we sometimes have to tell him which foot to use next? He sometimes needs us for the simplest of instructions."

Kahlan was overcome with a helpless sigh. Finally, she looked past Cara to the towering men behind. "Ulic, did you see to it that those bolts were installed on the door to our room?"

"Yes, Mother Confessor."

Kahlan smiled. "Good." She turned to Richard. "Shall we go home? I'm getting tired."

"You have to wed him, first," Cara announced. "Lord Rahl's orders. No women allowed into his room, except his wife."

Richard scowled. "I said except Kahlan. I never said wife. I said except Kahlan."

Cara glanced to the Agiel hanging on the thin chain around Kahlan's neck. It was Denna's Agiel. Richard had given it to Kahlan in a place between worlds where Denna had taken them to be together. It had become a sort of amulet — one the three Mord-Sith had never mentioned, but had noticed from the first instant they saw Kahlan. Richard suspected it meant as much to them as it did to him and Kahlan.

Cara's cavalier gaze returned to Richard. "You charged us with protecting the Mother Confessor, Lord Rahl. We are merely protecting our sister's honor."

Kahlan smiled when she saw that Cara had finally managed to nettle him, something she was rarely able to do. Richard took a calming breath.

I really need to read these book

Thanks Natasha

colorblind · 05-20-2010, 08:56 AM

Oh Cara

She never calls him Richard in the books

I so wanna see some scenes between them in the finale

sprezzatura · 05-20-2010, 08:57 AM

It's okay NOLA504

. I feel that the books have more Cara/Kahlan moments than Cara/Richard moments though. But there are some great OT3 moments in the beginning of book 6.

He's always been Lord Rahl to her. Since the she's been sworn to serve Lord Rahl. I guess that she only calls him by his first name in the show so often is because he hasn't took up the throne - and also since every show character still classes Darken as Lord Rahl.

**NOLA504** · 05-20-2010, 09:09 AM

Yeah another person told me that I like Cara/Kahlan too

I like how se goes back & forth with calling him Richard/Lord Rahl on the show

I'm Maurice btw
