Setting: outside Ebou Dar

Mat is out on a rainy day a few miles from Ebou Dar. A few days before a few Atha'an Miere escaped from being kept as damane but the Seanchan had fought the escaping Atha'an Miere who also fought back. Many died in their escape so bodies were still being found in the nearby waters. Egeanin came up to him saying that she had said that no one was to go away from the wagons in the rain. He linked arms with her saying then let's go back and don't forget that we're supposed to be married. Domon looked at them with anger but he knew that they had to disguise themselves somehow. As they went back to Luca's animal show Egeanin pulled on her black wig that covered her bald head. She had to disguise her being a member of the lower blood.

Seanchan were at the wagons but all they wanted was horses and Luca had a warrant permitting that he could keep his horses. Lucky for him that they didn't check to see how many horses he was allowed to have. They could have taken the extra if they wanted someone said.

Mat declared that they were going to leave as soon as Thom came back. Egeanin had said they weren't going to leave but he said that it was his gold so he could make the decision. Everyone went to pack while Luca capered saying to Egeanin that he would jump for anything she said except that gold calls him to task first. Juilin, Thera, the suldam who're leaving with them, Renna, Seta, and the Aes sedai with the A'dam's on were also there getting ready to leave.
