Cryptic question

[Heir-of-Vax]

Does anyone know about where in Tien’s timeline Pattern started bonding with Shallan? I’m trying to figure out if Tien’s potential Cryptic came through to the Physical Realm after Pattern or before.

Tien was younger than Shallan, so after, I think. Shallan had more than likely already gotten at least one Ideal/Truth in.

Pattern believed that he was the first and only by some of his comments, so I think any others came after he crossed over/regressed.

According to the coppermind Shallan is actually a year younger than Tien, but I'd agree with after nonetheless.  Shallan started bonding Pattern at a very young age.

I didn't know that. The more you know, I guess.

I had assumed she was older too, but I was trying to figure out how much older so I looked it up and was pretty surprised to see she was younger.  I guess it's because all we see of Tien is when he is a kid in the flashbacks, but we get adult Shallan.
