! __Mat__ POV

[Mat|Matrim Cauthon] arrives at [The Wandering Woman] at dawn. A small very dark man is winning at cards.[1] [Setalle Anan] is out according to [Marah|Marah Anan], her daughter. She does not like [Mat|Matrim Cauthon]. She snaps at [Caira] telling her to take care of Air Captain [Yulan|Abaldar Yulan]. She then snaps at her youngest brother, [Ross|Ross Anan]. He taunts her saying she is in a bad mood because [Frielle|Frielle Anan] is younger and already married. [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] goes into the kitchen where [Enid] greets him warmly and gives him breakfast. [Setalle|Setalle Anan] arrives with another woman and sends everyone else away. The other woman is [Joline Maza]. 

There is a commotion of someone coming into the kitchen. [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] grabs [Joline|Joline Maza] and covers her face pretending to kiss her. [Bayle Domon] and [Egeanin|Egeanin Tamarath] enter, demanding to see [Setalle|Setalle Anan] about a room. Her orders are direct from High Lady [Suroth Sabelle Meldarath]. [Domon|Bayle Domon] is now %%ot [so'jhin|Seanchan (People)]%%. [Egeanin|Egeanin Tamarath] is now Captain of the Green Lady [Egeanin Tamarath]. [Setalle|Setalle Anan] is firm, saying that Captain of the Air Lord [Abaldar Yulan] and Banner-General [Furyk Karede] already have the best rooms. She will not throw out anyone who pays, so they will have to sort out among themselves who gets which rooms. 

After they leave, [Joline|Joline Maza] breaks down and cries. [Setalle|Setalle Anan] leads [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] and her into the cellar. Her [Warder], [Fen|Fen Mizar] and [Blaeric|Blaeric Negina], have been moving her around the city to keep her from being taken. [Setalle|Setalle Anan] just found her. She is glad that [Teslyn|Teslyn Baradon] was taken. Someone drugged [Joline|Joline Maza] with [forkroot|Herbs] so she could not escape the city. She is sure it was [Teslyn|Teslyn Baradon]. [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] then thanks [Joline|Joline Maza] for leaving the note on his pillow. [Joline|Joline Maza] just says all their debts are settled. It was not [Joline|Joline Maza]. The note was stuck in [Mat|Matrim Cauthon]'s pocket.[2] Even so, [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] commits to helping her escape. 

[Mat|Matrim Cauthon] returns to the palace and [Tylin|Tylin Quintara]'s rooms. He then goes up to the attic and searches rooms. He finds several [Windfinders|Sea Folk] and eventually finds [Teslyn|Teslyn Baradon]. She admits giving him the note. She wanted to frustrate [Elaida|Elaida do Avriny aRoihan]'s plans, and even drugged [Joline|Joline Maza] to keep her from interfering. [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] offers to help her escape as well. She tells him he must also help [Edesina Azzedin]. There are two others, [Guisin] and [Mylen|Sheraine Caminelle] whose real name is [Sheraine Caminelle], but they are too far gone to rescue. 

On his way out, [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] runs into [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] again. He says he was going to take a pastry to a [Windfinder|Sea Folk] who did him a favor once. [Tuon|Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag] smiles and [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] thinks she is beautiful. [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] sets out in search of [Thom|Thom Merrilin] and [Juilin|Juilin Sandar] to help him plan. He hums a song that he recalls from the Court of [Takedo|Farashelle] in [Farashelle|Farashelle] before it fell to [Hawkwing|Artur Hawkwing]. It was called "The Last Stand at [Mandenhar|Other History]."
