Elayne has been woken because another Kin woman has been murdered. Sumeko is still resistant to telling the Kin they can never be alone but Alise is more practical. She also wanders what hurt Rand enough that she felt it through the bond. Deni Colford enters, announcing an Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah to see her. Duhara Basaheen enters without permission and begins giving orders for the Kin to disperse since the White Tower does not condone wilders gathering together. Duhara berates Elayne for calling herself Aes Sedai, which angers Elayne. She was raised Aes Sedai, chose the Green Ajah and was admitted which settles the matter completely. Duhara leaves, being escorted out of the palace since Elayne won't provide her with a bed.
