! __Lan__ POV

The next morning [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran] thinks the woman did not sleep because she is not used to hardship.[1] She gave her name as Lady [Alys|Moiraine Damodred]. They had set a trap for her with [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran] as bait thinking that she might be a spy from [Edeyn|Edeyn Arrel]. [Bukama|Bukama Marenellin] thinks his black gelding is not nearly as good as [Sun Lance].[2] [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran] is wary of [Alys|Moiraine Damodred]. He dislikes both [Aes Sedai] and [Cairhienin|Cairhien (Country)] and she claims to be both. [Ryne|Ryne Venamar] seems besotted with her. They travel north and stop at the town of [Manala] for breakfast. [Bel Tine|Calendar] festivities are underway. There are six [Trolloc|Trollocs] heads on posts from a recent raid. [Alys|Moiraine Damodred] comments on fighting [Trollocs] with a sword. [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran] is surprised that she has fought [Trollocs] and asks where. She cryptically responds that there are [Shadowspawn] in places he never dreamed of.[3] [Ryne|Ryne Venamar] selects [The Plowman's Blade|The Plowmans Blade] for them to stop. The innkeeper is Mistress [Tomichi]. She is delighted by the presence of a noble and serves them herself. While they are eating, [Alys|Moiraine Damodred] slips out. [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran] is impressed that she left without him hearing. They split up to find her. [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran] finds her in an alley, sneaks in and overhears her asking Mistress [Marishna] about [Avene Sahera]. [Alys|Moiraine Damodred] coldly chides him for eavesdropping. [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran] is again impressed that she heard him while he was being quiet. He thinks she might be after [Ryne|Ryne Venamar] as a [Warder|Warder]. He offers to help her find [Avene Sahera] and she tells him not to meddle in [Aes Sedai] affairs. She sends him back to the inn to wait until she is ready to leave. He and [Bukama|Bukama Marenellin] still wonder why she was following them.
