Outdoor Bath Peeping
 The Lightning Tree / int_615cad18
comment
Outdoor Bath Peeping: Happens twice here Bast Invokes this with a bit of Obfuscating Stupidity by making it easy for some of the local women to follow him — a Pretty Boy newcomer — to a pond, feigning ignorance of their presence, and letting more than enough of him slip above the water to keep their attention. Bast trades a favor to one of the village boys in exchange for being told the location where a particular pretty young woman likes to bathe. It's implied that he allows himself to be seen spying on her and that she's quite pleased to see him.

Lies to Children

Lies to Children: Invoked. Specifically Bast's lie to Viette (not the constructed lies he tells the other children).

Minor Major Character: Despite likely starting the present conflict and being the modern-day Taborlin, Kvothe (or Kote) is only in the Waystone Inn.
