Okay guys i'm so sorry if this already a topic but i would like to take a poll. So give me your thoughts and once again i apologise if this has been done before.


Faolin and Arya dated for over 70 years, here's my evidence:

Seeing Arya was banished from her mother’s presence 70 years ago, therefore not being home for over 70 years, only on short visits. This could very well mean that the “fairth” of a male elf in her room (very likely to be Faolin) back in Ellesmera was created before she was banished. There she couldn’t have created the fairth and put it in her room if she hasn’t been back in over 70 years unless it was created beforehand. Not to mention it is the same with the fairth of the flower he created her.

Anyway poll ends in 7 days, so give me some feedback.

She scared to lose him but there are a couple of other reason too that you mentioned, I just picked the one that was the most.

I think to be honest it's a bit of everything. And with that many reasons i don't blame her for not returning his love, well not yet anyway...

sorry the poll closed so soon, i forgot to put more days on it

Where's the,

"She doesn't have a romantic interest in him"

choice?

She does though, and how do you know she doesn't have a interest in her?

Okay, that's your opinion, and I respect it. What I wont respect is a poll that forces your answer to promote a relationship, even if you think it inexsistent. This is nothing more than a gathering ground for fanboy\fangirls. I'm not going to argue, that never get's anyone anywhere, but I still speak my protest in this post.

Okay, That's cool and I respect you as well.

She loves him, I know it! (Because I know all!) She doesn't want to admit it because at first I don't think she did, but then soon grew to like him more and more every second of every day until... you know... So then she would seem like a huge hypocrit for telling him to back off. That and it would get in the way of his training, but personally I think it's getting even more in the way when he is constantly trying to corner her. Love is hard...

She was annoyed or she has no manners, she was rejecting him very impolitely. I don't see reason why should she love him, he's still just a kid.

This reminds me of a book I'm reading called Tuck Everlasting by Nattalie Babbitt. There is a guy that can live forever and he's can't get old so he is stuck at 17 and a 10 year old girl has a crush on him, and he has a crush on her (eew!) and there is this spring that make you live forever too. Well the guy gives the suggestion that she should wait till she's 17 and then drink the water so they would both be stuck at 17 and then run off togeather. I don't know what happens next though. . . I'm still reading. . . But anyway, it reminds me of Eragon and Arya because he so young and her so old (no offense)

i think it's that he's too obsessed with her (not in a bad way). he likes her,he has never liked a girl before and he can't control himself-he constantly thinks of her even when he must bury his feelings for her. oromis is teaching him a lesson in fairths that are very important and he's all gaga over her-if he was mature he wouldn't have made the fairth in that manner (extremely beautiful and over the top fairth of her). she distracts him too much. i do think she does harbor feelings for him but he just has to mature a tad bit. i do have an important ?.WHY DO PEOPLE SAY SHE REJECTED HIM AFTER THE BLOOD OATH CELBRATION IN THE ACIENT LANGUAGE? IT MAKES NO MENTION OF THEM SPEAKING IN THAT LANGUAGE.

There are several reasons why she rejected him. But the one that matters are:

* Arya is a character who has devoted her self to the greater cause of her people. She has spent most of her life working for the free races. She could not be a distraction during his training.

* Eragon was in the beginning nothing but a human. A rider, yes, but a human. The reasons why elven/human relationships never has work is because the difference between the races are to big. The elves are so much stronger, faster, wiser, and have a different life style. There wouldn't be a real connection there. The difference are to big.

* Eragon simply didn't love her back then. He knew nothing about her as a person. He just saw a beautiful elf. It was all about how she looked back then. A relationship built on lust would end in disaster. Arya saw that and kind as she is she did every thing she could to save their friendship and relation.

A relationship back then could never happen nor work. Eragon had to learn to love Arya for who she is and not what she is.

And that changed in Brisingr

Arya looked at him. Eragon met her gaze, and something lurched within him. He flushed without knowing why, feeling a sudden connection with her, a sense that she understood him better than anyone other than Saphira. His reaction confused him, for no one had affected him in that manner before.

Throughout the rest of the day, all Eragon had to do was think back on that moment to make himself smile and set his insides churning with a mixture of odd sensations he could not identify.
---------------------------
"An ache formed in his chest as he listened to the gentle rise and fall of Arya's breathing. It tormented him to be so close and yet be unable to approach her."
---------------------------
"Well, be that as it may, these are reasons you give me, Eragon, and the heart rarely listens to reason. Do you fancy her or not?"
If he fancied her any more, Saphira said to both Eragon and Roran, I'd be trying to kiss Arya myself.
---------------------------
You should tend to that before we set forth." She gave him no time to respond but grasped his paralyzed fingers and said, "Waise heill." An involuntary groan escaped him as his fingers popped back into their sockes, and his abraded tendons and crushed cartilage regained the fullness of their proper shapes, and as the flaps of skin hanging from his knuckles again covered the raw flesh below.
"Thank you," he said. It surprised him that she had taken the initiative when he was perfectly capable of healing his own wounds. Arya seemed embarrassed. Looking away, out over the plains, she said, "I am glad you were by my side today, Eragon."
"And you by mine."
She favored him with a quick, uncertain smile. They lingered on the hillock for another minute, neither of them eager to resume their journey.
---------------------------
He cherished her trust more than anything besides his bond with Saphira and he would sooner march into battle than endanger it."
---------------------------
"Satisfied with what he had wrought, he handed the lily to Arya. "It's not a white rose but..." He smiled and shrugged. "You should not have," she said. "But I am glad you did." She caressed the underside of the blossom and lifted it to smell. The lines on her face eased. For several minutes, she admired the lily."
---------------------------
"Better?" he asked as the spell finished its work.
"Better," Arya whispered, and favored him with a weak smile."
---------------------------
"Arya staggered as if she had been hit. "Ah," she said. She gripped the back of the chair so hard, her knuckles turned white. Tears filled her slanted eyes, then spilled over onto her cheeks and coursed down her face. "Eragon." She reached out and grasped his shoulder, and almost by accident, he found himself holding her in his arms."
---------------------------
“So few have ever killed a Shade and lived.
That is because they fought alone, not together, like us.
Not like us.”
---------------------------

The main reason why Arya rejected Eragon? Simple. He was more interested in her looks than her actual personality, and he thought that since he had been traveling with her, he had the right to love her.
