! __Mat__ POV

[Mat|Matrim Cauthon], riding [Pips], and [Talmanes|Talmanes Delovinde] ride along an ancient, broken road through foothills northeast of the [Damona Mountains] leading the [Band of the Red Hand]. It is a few days since the battle with the [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)] army and [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag]'s departure.[1] They are heading toward [Caemlyn] to rejoin [Estean|Estean Andiama] and [Daerid|Daerid Ondin]. [Vanin|Chel Vanin] checks Master [Roidelle]'s map figuring their position with landmarks [Blinder's Peak|Murandy], [Mount Sardlen|Murandy] and [Favlend Mountain|Murandy]. He rides forward to scout. 

[Mat|Matrim Cauthon] wonders if the [Seanchan|Seanchan (People)] will chase him since he and [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] are on different sides now. He is still unsure how he feels about his marriage to [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag]. [Talmanes|Talmanes Delovinde] says he thinks some of the Great Captains are married, [Davram Bashere] and [Rodel Ituralde] for sure.[2] 

[Olver] and [Noal|Noal Charin] ride up. [Olver] has been working out how to sneak into the [Tower of Ghenjei]. [Vanin|Chel Vanin] returns with news that the village of [Hinderstap] is just ahead. [Joline|Joline Maza], [Edesina|Edesina Azzedin] and [Teslyn|Teslyn Baradon] ride up. They want to know how far they are from [Caemlyn]. [Vanin|Chel Vanin] says two hundred leagues, a little over a week for someone with spare horses, twenty days for the whole [Band|Band of the Red Hand]. [Joline|Joline Maza] and [Edesina|Edesina Azzedin] want to go off on their own to get there faster. They demand horses for the two %%ot [sul'dam|Seanchan (People)]%%[3], [Setalle|Setalle Anan] and probably [Teslyn|Teslyn Baradon]. 

[Mat|Matrim Cauthon] sends them off in a huff, then sends [Vanin|Chel Vanin] to tell [Mandevwin] to prepare to make camp. A few of them will go to the village for supplies. [Talmanes|Talmanes Delovinde] says the [Two Rivers] tabac, a gift from King [Roedran|Roedran Analoy], is gone. [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] plans to gamble for the supplies. [Egwene|Egwene alVere] or [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] would box his ears at the idea but [Talmanes|Talmanes Delovinde] is enthusiastic.
