! __Nynaeve__ POV

[Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara], [Elayne|Elayne Trakand], [Thom|Thom Merrilin], and [Juilin|Juilin Sandar] are camped one mile away from [Mardecin]. They are bound for [Tar Valon] with two %%ot [ter'angreal|Angreal]%%[1] recovered from the [Black Ajah] and one of the [seals|Seals] to the [Dark One|ShaiTan]'s prison. [Thom|Thom Merrilin] heads into town for supplies. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] still worries about [Rand|Rand alThor], [Mat|Matrim Cauthon], [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] and [Egwene|Egwene alVere]. The conversation turns to [Tanchico] and [Amathera|Amathera Aelfdene Casmir Lounault]. [Juilin|Juilin Sandar] comments that he thinks she is a pretty woman.[2] [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] and [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] talk about [Moghedien] and the [Black Ajah]. They think [Liandrin] and the others surely escaped [Tanchico].[3] 

When [Thom|Thom Merrilin] returns, he reports that [Pedron Niall] has many [Whitecloaks|Children of the Light] returning to [Amador]. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] and [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] go for a walk to the village. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] brings up [Elayne|Elayne Trakand]'s behavior towards [Thom|Thom Merrilin]. [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] is offended and retorts that her father was [Taringail Damodred]. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] brings up [Rand|Rand alThor] and they discuss [Egwene|Egwene alVere]'s report that [Aviendha] is keeping an eye on him. [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] brings up [Min|Min Farshaw]'s [viewing|viewings] that she will have to share [Rand|Rand alThor]. This makes [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] remember how she shares [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran] with [Moiraine|Moiraine Damodred]. [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] recalls one of many sayings she learned from [Lini|Lini Eltring]. 

In [Mardecin], [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] spots a [Yellow Ajah] emergency signal outside a seamstress' shop, an upside-down bouquet of yellow flowers tied with yellow ribbon. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] recalls the code signals she learned from [Shemerin] in the [White Tower]. They go inside and [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] introduces herself as a [Yellow|Yellow Ajah] sister to the owner, [Ronde Macura]. She tells her assistant, [Luci], to make them some tea. [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] notes a dress with a collar of frothy [Solinde|Other Locations] lace. They all go to the kitchen and talk over tea. [Ronde Macura] gives [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] and [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] a message: "All sisters are welcome to return to the [White Tower]. The [Tower|White Tower] must be whole and strong." The message came about a month ago. Feeling woozy, [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] realizes she has been drugged. Then she passes out.[4]
