He goes to the kitchens, wondering if there is a small door there he can use, and wonders if Moiraine sent for the Amyrlin because of him, and that's why she's in the city. Remembering (incorrectly) that the city was built by ogier, Rand finds Loial to see if there is a hidden way out, but there is none. Mat is playing dice and winning. Perrin is there also. Mat and Perrin do not know Rand can channel, so they don't understand his desire to leave the keep. Rand, wanting to keep Mat and Perrin out of it, gets into a fight with them so they won't want to come with him. Then he is rude to Loial and even makes Loial mad, so now he can leave the city alone.
