Mat spend the next day in his room, eating as much as he could and saving bread and cheese to eat after he leaves. Anaiya visits him at mid-day and says he is well, but seems aware he is asking for more food than he needs. He begins his plan to make an obvious attempt to leave. He bundles up everything he can, along with the food. He makes sure to have the note, Elayne’s letter in his belt pouch, and brings his dice cups also.
