What if, in Elriel's book, we get a scene like with Feysand where Azzy admits that for the last like 10ish years he's been having little things pop up that he now realizes were all foreshadowing that Elain is his mate (like how Rhys was seeing visions of Feyre thru her dreams)...
Maybe feeling some kind of inexplicable fondness any time he walked by a garden or when he smelled certain flowers, he couldn't explain why, but the scent evoked a deep emotional reaction. What then?
