True! And I think she'd have to be, to pull a stunt that stupid *g*. I think you have a good point with the Valen thing, too, that perhaps she thinks she can reach the Valen part of him even through his disorientation.

And I agree: it's particularly interesting in the light of the other revelations in the episode, Delenn getting more complex all the time...
