Summary
Saidin needed to be cleansed.
It was an idea that had been niggling at the back of his mind for a while, and more insistently now that he was starting up this school. Training male channelers wouldn’t do the Light much good if they went mad before the Last Battle arrived. It was high time to stop just reacting to the problem and to instead address the root of it: the Dark One’s corruption.
But how could it be removed? In three thousand years, nothing had been done about it. How could Rand think of a way to do it, if three thousand years’ worth of people far smarter than him hadn’t managed it?
Maybe it’s not about intelligence, murmured the voice in the back of his mind. Maybe it’s about power. In three thousand years, nobody has been stronger than us.
Rand didn’t let himself turn to see if there was a figure standing beyond his peripheral vision.

Summary
Aviendha sat with her nose pressed against the window pane, utterly fascinated. All had been normal when she had gone to sleep last night, but now the entire world had turned white.
Snow. Elayne had described it to her before, saying that it was like sand but pure white and made of cold water, but Aviendha’s attempts to imagine it paled in comparison to the reality. It was wondrous.
She felt a shift in her new bond with Rand. Sleep into wakefulness. “You’re cold,” he said, voice warm and rough with sleep. “Come back to bed.”

Summary
On the way out of the Waste, Rand spent a great deal of time with Aviendha. The Wise Ones had assigned her as his teacher in Aiel ways, and Rand wouldn’t be surprised if they also wanted her to spy on him, but if that was the case, he didn’t think she was in on it. Aviendha was almost shockingly forthright and blunt—not a deceptive bone in her body.
Her bluntness was difficult to get used to, after months of his life spent revolving around Lanfear.

Summary
Then Rand had come to them in Caemlyn, and after they’d all confessed their feelings and Elayne had bonded him to both of them as their Warder, he’d noticed Elayne wearing the bracelet and asked about it. And Elayne had said—
The heady feelings of love returned and a new bond had made her carefree and daring, and she’d joked that perhaps, in order to fully finish meeting their toh, Rand and Aviendha might show her how they’d spent that night in the snow-hut, so that she would no longer feel that she’d been left out or missed something important.
And now here they were.

Summary
“You might have met them while you were in Caemlyn,” Rand said. “One of them is Elayne Trakand, the Queen. And the other is Aviendha of the Taardad Aiel, who was living in the palace with Elayne the last time I saw them.”
Months ago. It had been months since he’d last seen them, and there was a permanent ache in his chest from how badly he missed them. An ache he was only letting himself feel now, after months of forcing it away into the Void.
This news did seem to startle Tam, far more than the revelation of two partners had. “The Queen,” he repeated. “So then, you’re about to become a father?”
Rand stared at him. About to become…? “What are you talking about?” he said, heart in his throat.

Summary
After leaving Moiraine behind at the Eye of the World, Rand wanders southward, until he runs across the city of Cairhien, and discovers someone there he hadn't expected to see ever again.
Rand studied the man in disbelief.
His dark hair was longer now, enough so that he needed to reach up every now and then to push it back as he flirted with the stall vendor. His beard was shorter, or not so much shorter but a different shape — the sides were shaved off, that was the difference. His clothes were still as messy and disheveled as ever but… finer fabrics, more vibrant shades, cut more tightly against the silhouette of his body.
He finished paying for his food — a meat pie, it looked to be — and, after one last smile to the vendor, he started walking away.
As if drawn by a tether, Rand followed.

Summary
When Mat Cauthon spots a tall man hurrying around a corner in Tear, he's sure it can't be Rand, and yet he calls out his name anyway.
Mat had been sleeping in inns or in cabins on boats, for most of his trip to Tear. Rand looked like he'd spent it in the woods the whole way. Mat hurried over to Rand and reached out to pat him down, make sure he wasn't hurt-
-paused with his hands not quite touching Rand's shoulders.
The bloody Dragon Reborn.
Yet it was hard to be scared of Rand when he looked like a bedraggled puppy. "What are you doing here?" he chided, and he forced himself to touch Rand's shoulders. It didn't feel any different than it would have before he knew the truth.

Summary
Stiles assesses the pile of board games for a long moment before pulling out one in particular and dumping its contents on Scott's floor. “We need a plan like Mouse Trap. Look. We'll call it How To Avoid All Of Life's Obstacles And Win Isaac's Heart."
Scott laughs. "What the hell, Stiles, he's not a piece of cheese."
"Okay, but," Stiles waves a hand at the mess of a board game as he starts to set it up, "it's like, a metaphor for your life, dude. You are the mouse. Isaac is the cheese. This boot thing - I dunno what that is, but it's not good."
