Summary[]
- Point of view: Matrim Cauthon
Mat is having a snack when Elayne, Nynaeve and Egwene come to visit and ask how he is. The women are smiling too much which makes Mat suspicious of their visit. Nynaeve admits they have come to ask him to do a favor for them. Elayne gives Mat her best pretty little girl look and says she wants him to carry a letter for her, to her mother. Mat asks what he will get out of it. Elayne then tries to make it a favor he should do for the Daughter-Heir, but that doesn't work either. Egwene says he doesn't do things for other people if there's nothing in it for him. Nynaeve starts berating him and points out that they took care of him on the way to Tar Valon and he owes them.
Mat decides to stop teasing them and admits that he cannot leave the city. If they can fix that, he'll be happy to carry the letter. They confer near the window then give him one of their letters from the Amyrlin to get him past the guards to leave the city. Mat asks them for money to help with the cost of the trip, but they have none to spare. He says he will manage and promises a few more times that he will see the letter delivered. With the issues about the trip settled, they talk about home. Mat then thanks them sincerely and promises to help them should they need it. They leave and Mat does a small dance of glee.
