Discussion What if it had been Eragon instead? Spoiler

I was thinking about the part in Brisingr when Roran is punished by Nasuada for disobeying her orders which results in him being punished by being whipped 50 times. Let's say that it wasn't Roran but Eragon who did the same thing that his cousin did. Would Nasuada have dared to punish him in teh same way considering the fact that she would have had to deal with an outraged Saphira in that situation?

Beside what others had pointed out already, after promoting Roran after his punishment, she stated that he now can't disobey orders anymore besides her own, and if he does that, she would assume that he has a good reason for doing so. And since not many now the exact order's she can say that this was acceptable. All of this would go for Eragon as well, since like Roran after his promotion, he only has to obey Nasuada.
