They ride past huge stones, a barefoot statue of a [Shiotan|Shiota] warrior queen. There is a great deal of tension between the [Sea Folk], the [Kin] and the [Aes Sedai]. [Kurin] did not deliver [Aviendha]'s warning.[1] [Aviendha] complains to [Kurin] who complains to [Renaile|Renaile din Calon Blue Star] who sends a message to [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] telling her to keep [Aviendha] under control. [Adeleas|Adeleas Namelle] has a fancy new saddle. Flies avoid her despite her perfume.[2] [Adeleas|Adeleas Namelle], [Merilille|Merilille Ceandevin], [Vandene|Vandene Namelle], [Careane|Careane Fransi] and [Sareitha|Sareitha Tomares] all ride together, followed by the [Windfinders|Sea Folk] with the [Kin] bringing up the rear. Part of the [Bowl|Bowl of the Winds] bargain - the [Sea Folk] get the [Bowl|Bowl of the Winds], twenty sisters will go to the [Sea Folk] to teach them and [Windfinders|Sea Folk] will be welcome as guests in the [White Tower]. All of the [Aes Sedai] and all of the [Kin] but [Kirstian|Kirstian Chalwin] (busy shielding [Ispan|Ispan Shefar]) take turns approaching [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] suggesting that [Ispan|Ispan Shefar]'s custody be passed to the [Aes Sedai]. [Reanne|Reanne Corly] suggests questioning her immediately. [Chilares|Chilares Arman] suggests that she might need [Healing|Weaves#h]. [Merilille|Merilille Ceandevin] suggests that the [Kin] are untrustworthy or even [Darkfriends]. [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] loudly berates her for it. [Sareitha|Sareitha Tomares] says it is impossible for the [Kin] to be as old as they claim. Others of the [Kin] are [Famelle|Famelle Juarde], [Eldase], [Dimana], [Ieine], [Sumeko|Sumeko Karistovan] and [Sibella]. [Elayne|Elayne Trakand]'s horse is [Lioness]. There are other [Kin] not in [Ebou Dar] who are even older than [Reanne|Reanne Corly]! [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara] goes with [Lan|al'Lan Mandragoran] when he is scouting. [Birgitte|Birgitte Trahelion] is scouting, too. They arrive at the [farm|Farm]. \\ \\ More [Elayne POV] %% %%collapsebox-closed !
