Hmmm. Besides Silkhorn's ruminations,<br>
I can't see any evidence at all that Oreb would not be Oreb.<br>

Oh, I agree--I think he's definitely still Oreb. [snip]<div class="im"><br>
But I think his instinct, that Oreb is another bird perfectly<br>

Well, he's not the same Oreb because he's Scylla.<br>
No one else seems to wonder that Oreb was able to die and resurrect himself. It makes me believe that someone was possessing him at that time. But that's just me. But that would doubly make the Oreb of most of SS different from the Oreb of most of LS.<br>
<br>
FWIW I think the whole speech is pointing to the fact that the Neighbor has been imitating Horn who imitated Silk. The whole thing harkens back to VRT of "The Fifth Head of Cerberus".<br><font color="#888888">
