Nope, not BH. That encounter only has a brief reference to Braven Tooth smiling "the smile that gave him his name." Which doesn't entirely mesh with Fiddler's thoughts in HoC...
HoC, chapter 5, p. 301-02 pb:
String was silent for a long moment. Braven Tooth - he was dumbfounded. The bastard was grizzled back when... when the whole naming thing began. It had been Braven who'd started it. Braven who'd named most of the Bridgeburners. Whiskeyjack, Trotts, Mallet, Hedge, Blend, Picker, Toes... Fiddler himself had avided a new name all through his basic training; it had been Whiskeyjack who'd named him, on that first ride through Raraku. [....]
Smiles spoke. "So who named Braven Tooth, Sergeant?"
I did, after the bastard left one of his in my shoulder the night of the brawl. The brawl we all denied happening. Gods, so many years ago, now...

easy. fiddler named him because his smile looked 'braven' while missing a 'tooth'. whatever the fuck that means.
and im sure its been mentioned, but in HoC fid also reflects how raraku gave the bridgeburners longevity. something like he was an old man yet felt half his age.
There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.

It took the 14th a year to sail to Lether, which is approx the time between Bonehunters and Reaper's. Only problem is, Pedac's refugee party was in flight for YEARS?
If there were no smart people others wouldn't feel inadequate.
Right?

This was a problem. I like the idea of them having an unmentioned side-trek adventure into the warrens which was quite rapid for them but a year or two passed in the outside world.

The last post in this thread is from 2008, so you're probably not going to get individuals to do that. You can Report a specific post though and Mods will edit where appropriate.
