So, Patience's BIG REVEAL-- that Locke is a reincarnated Bondsmage psychically bound to a reincarnated Sabetha-- any truth to that?
Personally, I think she is a big lying liar who lies... and that it was all machination to freak out Sabetha and have her run away. Sabetha, remember, refused to fall in love with Young Locke because it was fate or meant to be or convenient or whatever. So finding out that she's trapped in a relationship with him because of dark tragic bondsmagey past? Yeah. She's gonna fuck off outta there.
I think Patience wanted to hurt Locke, and knew the best way to hurt him-- to drive Sabetha away. And she was able to look into Sabetha to see what would drive her away.
Thoughts?
Agree?

Like, he's TRIED to have sex with other people and not been able to. It's not like he's really choosing to be celibate/monogamous because Twu Wuv.
I was really glad that Lynch presented Sabetha as a woman who's had sex with people other than The Main Character And Designated Love Interest, and she's not portrayed as bad for doing so. Locke's angry/jealous reaction is one he recognizes as uncalled for and unfair.
