Nynaeve sees that they're using Crimsonthorn root and thinks that they're just comforting the girl until she dies. But, they correct her and tell her that this is easily healed here. The Accepted asks if Nynaeve would hold the girl's hand while she's being Healed. Liandrin keeps the jar of Crimsonthorn root. The girl is Healed in moments, which stuns Nynaeve.

Liandrin and Nynaeve leave to a courtyard. Liandrin explains a bit more about the different Ajahs and how she could explore the library with the Brown Ajah, learn statecraft and diplomacy from the Gray Ajah and Healing from the Yellow Ajah. Then Liandrin gives her pitch about the Red Ajah being an even higher level of Healing a different disease. Nynaeve rejects the idea that men who can channel are a disease.

Scene 12 - New Dormmate#

Egwene approaches her room and sees a lot of activity in the next room, along with nice furniture in the hallway and pillows blocking her door. A servant in deep red passes her by. She picks up the pillows and goes into the next room. Another novice is moving in and she tells Egwene just to set the pillows down. Egwene does, but then tells her to stop blocking her door. The new novice asks to see Egwene's room for design ideas for such a tiny place. She goes into Egwene's room and assumes that she just moved in as well, but soon after realizes her mistake. The novice tries to recover by noting the stitching on the blanket and correctly identifies it as from the Two Rivers. The novice smiles because she didn't think the Tower would let her live with the rest of the novices. When Egwene asks why, the novice says "the whole Daughter-Heir thing." When Egwene shows no recognition of that, the novice introduces herself as Elayne Trakand, Daughter-Heir of Andor and hesitantly says that Egwene is her subject. Egwene just gives an amused smile in return and tells Elayne her own name. Elayne talks about how some of the greatest pairings came from novices in adjacent rooms, like Cadsuane Melaidhrin and Elena Katab and wonders about their own future together.
