Part of Robinton's problem was that everyone loves/knows him, and he just kept on meeting such STUNNING musicians. He was half sure he was hallucinating.

Asmodean is never good for a person's sanity. He chatted with him quite a bit. Arithon started trading music lessons with him- Robinton teaching him the harp, Arithon teaching Robinton the lyranthe in return. Yrael took it in his heart to HELP Robinton by turning his world view on its head and telling him the Red Star was actually a planet. Then I made the mistake of letting him see the aftermath of the torture plot.... hooooo boy. Unhappy harper.
