The Aes Sedai society is a limited example, I had trouble remembering the names of any other bonded pairs where both characters were developed and the warden fit the willing, mentally healthy, sidekick role. The wardens were a case study in the reverse Bechdel test.
In that entire story, Lan was an exception that he embraced his sidekickness.
I don't remember any, either. Doesn't Taim end up bonding with an Aes Sedai? I know at least some of the Asha'man did.
I suppose the triple bond on Rand is an example....? Ick.
Now I feel like a bad person because I can't remember Verin's warder's name :(
Ooh, or Adaleas and Vandene's sweet old-man warder.
