Moiraine and Siuan channeling (New Spring spoliers)

[Mashiara Sedai]

It had been awhile since I read New Spring, and so I had forgotten that Moiraine and Siuan both feel a tingle when the other channels.  This is only mentioned once or twice in the book, and they say it is quite common for novices to feel a tingle when someone they spend a lot of time around channels; it goes away after awhile, but Siuan states that it never did with her and Moiraine. 

 

We've only seen Moiraine and Siuan together once in all the books (tGH when they confront Rand and talk with Verin) and it wasn't mentioned there.  However, if it didn't go away by the time it was supposed to, does it still continue presently?  I wonder if that could be the way they know for sure that it really is Moiraine who came back from the Finns, not someone in her body or someone who looks like her.

Interesting idea - I had forgotten that. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see if that situation ever comes up. :)

Actually, Siuan & Moiraine meet also before the meeting with Verin & Rand.  (Shortly after Siuan arrives at Fal Dara)

The tingle is mentioned then.

 

I guess both of them still feel it.

If Siuan does not feel it, her severing might have been a factor of why.

Once Siuan is stilled does it matter?

Doubtful cause Siuan says that now that she has been stilled Moiraine would not even recognize her so im guess that feeling has gone away. plus with Moiraine being locked in the tower might be a barrier.
