I didn't get that impression from that part of the book... First off 
reading that "Keisha Alder could very easily have been chosen" statement 
doesn't imply to me that she was going to be chosen and said no... only 
that she could have been chosen and wasn't. Slight difference. And in 
Owlsight I got the feeling that the reason the Companion was amused by 
Keisha's reluctance was that he wasn't there for her at all... Reinforcing 
this is the bit later when the Companion winks at her while she's thinking 
that you get chosen for being the right person and that she wasn't the 
right person to be chosen.
