TGS: Questions of Control

Cadsuane POV#

Sarene questions Semirhage as Cadsuane listens from outside the room, eavesdropping with a weave of Spirit. Her Warder Vitalien is with her. Daigian, Erian and Elza hold her shield. Cadsuane wants to do some questioning, but Merise already failed and she does not want to risk failing as well. A serving woman brings a midday meal and Semirhage hurls it to the floor. Sarene tries to appease her, sending for another meal. Cadsuane realizes that that is the problem, they have been respecting her. Cadsuane enters the room, knocks Semirhage off her feet and proceeds to spank her. She sends for maids and servants to come and watch. Semirhage finally howls in humiliation and eats the spilled meal off the floor. As she leaves, Cadsuane tells Sarene to get a hairbrush for the next time. She begins wondering again what to do about Rand.

They respect him even though they still talk about his night in Berelain's tent. Perrin worries about his rage during battle.

Notes (Possible Spoilers)#

[#1] Perrin thinks of this as "recent". This may have happened off-screen or it may be the incident of WH,Ch5 though that was more than two months ago.
