Elayne and Nynaeve have been in Falme for weeks. Nynaeve is still sickened by the sight of damane. She thinks she sees Padan Fain among the crowds. She has taken off the serpent ring. Elayne tells her she has stolen apples, and Nynaeve says she shouldn’t steal things, but was surprised at how expensive everything was here.
