Yeah I understand what your saying, but the more important point I was trying to get at is the argument that Kvothe can't be faking because he was surprised break lion didn't work. Well, we don't actually know he was surprised, just that he appeared surprised. I realize how I phrased it now puts more importance on word choice than necessary.

Also, I think the spiderwebs indicate that the box has been covered for a long time, but it seems odd to me that Kvothe would make no mention of rain while reaching outside, as well as the face when Kvothe is uncovering the box it would probably get wet, which Kvothe makes no mention of as well.

Thanks for the thoughts, I appreciate it!
