Proposes linking Asha’men with Aes Sedai and Wise Ones to create larger gateways, criticizing Perrin’s lack of focus on his duties before earning his approval.
Confirms the Aiel's deployment to Arad Doman, warns of a blood feud with the Seanchan over captured Wise Ones, and asserts the Car'a'carn cannot demand more than a year and a day from her people.
Notes Perrin's politeness means he wants something unwanted, questions his desire to avoid fighting, and listens as he explains his plan to prevent bloodshed.
