You are going to **[tāru] Valon, and there is a [hijō ni] [bakkin] [gurōbu] there, which I have heard the Aes Sedai tend [yoku].**
In any case, there is more to see in the world than the groves.
181
In any case, there is more to see in the **[sekai] than the [kodachi].**
You truly are ta’veren, Rand.
182
You truly are tanin’veren, Rand.
The Pattern weaves itself around you, and you stand in the heart of it.”
183
The **[moyō] weaves itself around you, and you stand in the [kokoro] of it."**
This man stands at the heart of it.
184
This **[otoko] stands at the [kokoro] of it.**
Rand felt a chill.
185
Rand **[kanjita] a [samusa].**
“I don’t stand at the heart of anything,”
186
"I don’t stand at the **[kokoro] of anything,"**
he said harshly.
187
he said harshly.
Master Gill blinked, and even Loial seemed taken aback at his anger.
188
**[shujin] Gill blinked, and even Loial seemed taken aback at his [ikari].**
The innkeeper and the Ogier looked at each other, and then at the floor.
189
The **[yadoya no shujin] and the Ogier looked at each [sonota], and then at the [yuka].**
Rand forced his expression smooth, drawing deep breaths.
190
Rand forced his **[shiki] smooth, [zumen] [fukai] [kokyū].**
For a wonder he found the void that had eluded him so often of late, and calmness.
191
For a **[fushigi] he found the void that had eluded him so often of late, and [reisei].**
They did not deserve his anger.
192
They did not deserve his **[ikari].**
“You can come, Loial,”
193
“You can come, Loial,”
he said.
194
he said.
“I don’t know why you would want to, but I’d be grateful for the company.
195
"I don’t know why you would want to, **[shikashi] I’d be grateful for the [kaisha].**
You...
196
You...
you know how Mat is.”
197
you know how Mat is.”
“I know,”
198
“I know,”
Loial said.
199
Loial said.
“I still cannot go into the streets without raising a mob shouting ’Trolloc’ after me.
200
"I still cannot go into the **[machi] without raising a mob shouting ’Trolloc’ after me.**
But Mat, at least, only uses words.
201
**[shikashi] Mat, at least, only uses [kotoba].**
He has not tried to kill me.”
202
He has not tried to kill me.”
“Of course not,”
203
"Of **[mochiron] not,"**
Rand said.
204
Rand said.
“Not Mat.”
205
“Not Mat.”
He wouldn’t go that far.
206
He wouldn’t go that far.
Not Mat.
207
Not Mat.
A tap came at the door, and one of the serving maids, Gilda, stuck her head into the room.
208
A **[tappu] came at the [tobira], and one of the serving [meido], Gilda, stuck her [atama] into the [heya].**
Her mouth was tight, and her eyes worried.
209
Her **[kuchi no naka] was tight, and her [me] worried.**
“Master Gill, come quickly, please.
210
"**[shujin] Gill, come quickly, please.**
There’s Whitecloaks in the common room.”
211
There’s Whitecloaks in the common **[heya]."**
Master Gill leaped up with an oath, sending the cat jumping from the table to stalk out of the room, tail stiff and offended.
212
**[shujin] Gill leaped up with an [sensei], sending the [neko] jumping from the [hyō] to stalk out of the [heya], [o] stiff and offended.**
“I’ll come.
213
“I’ll come.
Run tell them I’m coming, then stay out of their way.
214
**[jikkō] tell them I’m coming, then [taizai] out of their [michi].**
You hear me, girl?
215
You hear me, **[onnanoko]?**
Keep away from them.”
216
**[kīpu] away from them."**
Gilda bobbed her head and vanished.
217
Gilda bobbed her **[atama] and vanished.**
“You had best stay here,”
218
"You had best **[taizai] here,"**
he told Loial.
219
he told Loial.
The Ogier snorted, a sound like sheets ripping.
220
The Ogier snorted, a **[saundo] like [shīto] ripping.**
“I have no desire for any more meetings with the Children of the Light.”
221
"I have no **[yokubō] for any more [mītingu] with the [kodomo tachi] of the [hikari]."**
Master Gill’s eye fell on the stones board and his mood seemed to lighten.
222
**[shujin] Gill’s [me] fell on the [ishi] [bōdo] and his [kibun] seemed to lighten.**
“It looks as if we’ll have to start the game over later.”
223
"It **[rukkusu] as [baai] we’ll have to [kaishi, hajimeru] the [gēmu] over later."**
“No need for that.”
224
“No must for that.”
Loial stretched an arm to the shelves and took down a book; his hands dwarfed the clothbound volume.
225
Loial stretched an **[āmu] to the [tana] and took down a [hon]; his [te] dwarfed the clothbound [boryūmu].**
“We can take up from where the board lies.
226
"We can take up from where the **[bōdo] lies.**
It is your turn.”
227
It is your **[tān]."**
Master Gill grimaced.
228
**[shujin] Gill grimaced.**
“If it isn’t one thing, it’s another,”
229
"**[baai] it isn’t one [koto], it’s another,"**
he muttered as he hurried from the room.
230
he muttered as he hurried from the **[heya].**
Rand followed him, but slowly.
231
Rand followed him, **[shikashi] slowly.**
He had no more desire than Loial to become involved with the Children.
232
He had no more **[yokubō] than Loial to become involved with the [kodomo tachi].**
This man stands at the heart of it.
233
This **[otoko] stands at the [kokoro] of it.**
He stopped at the door to the common room, where he could see what went on, but far enough back that he hoped he would not be noticed.
234
He stopped at the **[tobira] to the common [heya], where he could see what went on, [shikashi] far enough back that he hoped he would not be noticed.**
Dead silence filled the room.
235
**[shin da] [chinmoku] filled the [heya].**
Five Whitecloaks stood in the middle of the floor, studiously being ignored by the folk at the tables.
236
Five Whitecloaks stood in the **[mannaka] of the [yuka], studiously [kōfuku] ignored by the [fōku] at the [hyō].**
One of them had the silver lightning-flash of an under-officer beneath the sunburst on his cloak.
237
One of them had the **[gin] [inazuma furasshu] of an [andā yakuin] beneath the [sanbāsuto] on his [gaitō].**
Lamgwin was lounging against the wall by the front door, intently cleaning his fingernails with a splinter.
238
Lamgwin was lounging against the **[kabe] by the [furonto] [tobira], intently cleaning his [yubi no tsume] with a [toge].**
Four more of the guards Master Gill had hired were spaced across the wall with him, all industriously paying no attention at all to the Whitecloaks.
239
Four more of the **[keibi] [shujin] Gill had hired were spaced across the [kabe] with him, all industriously paying no [chūi] at all to the Whitecloaks.**
If the Children of the Light noticed anything, they gave no sign.
240
**[baai] the [kodomo tachi] of the [hikari] noticed anything, they gave no [sain].**
Only the under-officer showed any emotion at all, impatiently tapping his steel-backed gauntlets against his palm as he waited for the innkeeper.
241
Only the **[andā yakuin] showed any [kanjō] at all, impatiently tapping his [hagane]-backed [gantoretto] against his [tenohira] as he waited for the [yadoya no shujin].**
Master Gill crossed the room to him quickly, a cautiously neutral look on his face.
242
**[shujin] Gill crossed the [heya] to him quickly, a cautiously neutral [hyōjō] on his [kao].**
“The Light illumine you,”
243
"The **[hikari] illumine you,"**
he said with a careful bow, not too deep, but not slight enough to actually be insulting, either, “and our good Queen Morgase.
244
he said with a careful **[bou], not too [fukai], [shikashi] not [wazuka ni] enough to actually be insulting, either, "and our [yoi] [joō] Morgase.**
How may I help–”
245
How may I **[tasukeru]–"**
“I’ve no time for your drivel, innkeeper,”
246
"I’ve no **[jikan] for your drivel, [yadoya no shujin],"**
the under-officer snapped.
247
the **[andā yakuin] snapped.**
“I’ve been to twenty inns already today, each a worse pigsty than the last, and I’ll see twenty more before the sun sets.
248
"I’ve been to twenty **[ryokan] already today, each a worse [tonsha] than the [saigo], and I’ll see twenty more before the [nichi] sets.**
I’m looking for Darkfriends, a boy from the Two Rivers–”
249
I’m looking for **[Kurai-yūjin]**, a **[otokonoko] from the Two [kawa]–"**
Master Gill’s face grew darker with every word.
250
**[shujin] Gill’s [kao] grew [kurai]er with every [kotoba].**
He puffed up as if he would explode, and finally he did, cutting the Whitecloak off in turn.
251
He puffed up as **[baai] he would explode, and finally he did, cutting the Whitecloak off in [tān].**
“There are no Darkfriends in my establishment!
252
"There are no **[Kurai-yūjin]** in my **[setsuritsu]!**
Every man here is a good Queen’s man!”
253
Every **[otoko] here is a [yoi] [joō]’s [otoko]!"**
“Yes, and we all know where Morgase stands,”
254
“Yes, and we all know where Morgase stands,”
the under-officer twisted the Queen’s name into a sneer, “and her Tar Valon witch, don’t we?”
255
the **[andā yakuin] twisted the [joō]’s [namae] into a [reishō], "and her [tāru] Valon [majo], don’t we?"**
The scrape of chair legs was loud.
256
The **[surikizu] of [isu] [ashi] was loud.**
Suddenly every man in the room was on his feet.
257
Suddenly every **[otoko] in the [heya] was on his [ashi].**
They stood still as statues, but every one staring grimly at the Whitecloaks.
258
They stood still as **[zō], [shikashi] every one staring grimly at the Whitecloaks.**
The under-officer did not appear to notice, but the four behind him looked around uneasily.
259
The **[andā yakuin] did not appear to [chūi shite kudasai], [shikashi] the four behind him looked around uneasily.**
“It will go easier with you, innkeeper,”
260
"It will go easier with you, **[yadoya no shujin],"**
the under-officer said, “if you cooperate.
261
the **[andā yakuin] said, "[baai] you cooperate.**
The temper of the times goes hard with those who shelter Darkfriends.
262
The **[kishō] of the [kai] goes hard with those who [hinan sho] [Kurai-yūjin].**
I wouldn’t think an inn with the Dragon’s Fang on its door would get much custom.
263
I wouldn’t think an **[in] with the [doragon]’s [kiba] on its [tobira] would get much [kasutamu].**
Might have trouble with fire, with that on your door.”
264
might have **[meiwaku] with [kasai], with that on your [tobira]."**
“You get out of here now,”
265
“You get out of here now,”
Master Gill said quietly, “or I’ll send for the Queen’s Guards to cart what’s left of you to the middens.”
266
**[shujin] Gill said quietly, "or I’ll send for the [joō]’s [keibi] to [kāto] what’s left of you to the middens."**
Lamgwin’s sword rasped out of its sheath, and the coarse scrape of steel on leather was repeated throughout the room as swords and daggers filled hands.
267
Lamgwin’s **[ken] rasped out of its [shīsu], and the coarse [surikizu] of [hagane] on [kawa] was repeated throughout the [heya] as [ken] and [tanken] filled [te].**
Serving maids scurried for the doors.
268
Serving **[meido] scurried for the [tobira].**
The under-officer looked around in scornful disbelief.
269
The **[andā yakuin] looked around in scornful [shinjirare nai].**
“The Dragon’s Fang–”
270
"The **[doragon]’s [kiba]–"**
“Won’t help you five,”
271
"Won’t **[tasukeru] you five,"**
Master Gill finished for him.
272
**[shujin] Gill finished for him.**
He held up a clenched fist and raised his forefinger.
273
He held up a clenched **[kobushi] and raised his [hitosashiyubi].**
“One.”
274
“One.”
“You must be mad, innkeeper, threatening the Children of the Light.”
275
"You must be mad, **[yadoya no shujin], threatening the [kodomo tachi] of the [hikari]."**
“Whitecloaks hold no writ in Caemlyn.
276
“Whitecloaks hold no writ in Caemlyn.
Two.”
277
Two.”
“Can you really believe this will end here?”
278
"can you really **[shinjiru] this will [owari] here?"**
“Three.”
279
“Three.”
“We’ll be back,”
280
“We’ll be back,”
the under-officer snapped, and then he was hastily turning his men around, trying to pretend he was leaving in good order and in his own time.
281
the **[andā yakuin] snapped, and then he was hastily turning his [dansei] around, trying to pretend he was leaving in [yoi] [ōdā] and in his own [jikan].**
He was hampered in this by the eagerness his men showed for the door, not running, but not making secret that they wanted to be outside.
282
He was hampered in this by the **[iyoku] his [dansei] showed for the [tobira], not running, [shikashi] not [tsukuri] [himitsu] that they wanted to be [soto ni].**
Lamgwin stood across the door with his sword, only giving way in response to Master Gill’s frantic waves.
283
Lamgwin stood across the **[tobira] with his [ken], only giving [michi] in [ōtō] to [shujin] Gill’s frantic [nami].**
When the Whitecloaks were gone, the innkeeper dropped heavily onto a chair.
284
When the Whitecloaks were gone, the **[yadoya no shujin] dropped heavily onto a [isu].**
He rubbed a hand across his forehead, then stared at it as if surprised that it was not covered with sweat.
285
He rubbed a **[te] across his [gaku], then stared at it as [baai] surprised that it was not covered with [ase].**
All over the room men seated themselves again, laughing over what they had done.
286
All over the **[heya] [dansei] seated themselves again, laughing over what they had done.**
Some went over to clap Master Gill on the shoulder.
287
Some went over to clap **[shujin] Gill on the [kata].**
When he saw Rand, the innkeeper tottered off the chair and over to him.
288
When he **[mimashita] Rand, the [yadoya no shujin] tottered off the [isu] and over to him.**
“Who would have thought I had it in me to be a hero?”
289
"Who would have **[shikō] I had it in me to be a [hīrō]?"**
he said wonderingly.
290
he said wonderingly.
“The Light illumine me.”
291
"The **[hikari] illumine me."**
Abruptly he gave himself a shake, and his voice regained almost its normal tone.
292
Abruptly he gave himself a **[furu], and his [koe] regained almost its normal [kuchō].**
“You’ll have to stay out of sight until I can get you out of the city.”
293
"You’ll have to **[taizai] out of [kōkei] until I can get you out of the [toshi]."**
With a careful look back into the common room, he pushed Rand deeper into the hall.
294
With a careful **[hyōjō] back into the common [heya], he pushed Rand deeper into the [hōru].**
“That lot will be back, or else a few spies wearing red for the day.
295
"That **[takusan] will be back, or else a few spies wearing [akai] for the [ichi nichi].**
After that little show I put on, I doubt they’ll care whether you’re here or not, but they’ll act as though you are.”
296
After that little **[shō] I put on, I [utagai] they’ll [kaigo] whether you’re here or not, [shikashi] they’ll [kōi] as though you are."**
“That’s crazy,”
297
“That’s crazy,”
Rand protested.
298
Rand protested.
At the innkeeper’s gesture he lowered his voice.
299
At the **[yadoya no shujin]’s [jesuchā] he lowered his [koe].**
“The Whitecloaks don’t have any reason to be after me.”
300
"The Whitecloaks don’t have any **[riyū] to be after me."**
“I don’t know about reasons, lad, but they’re after you and Mat for certain sure.
301
"I don’t know about **[riyū ga arimasu], [wakamono], [shikashi] they’re after you and Mat for certain sure.**
What have you been up to?
302
What have you been up to?
Elaida and the Whitecloaks.”
303
Elaida and the Whitecloaks.”
Rand raised his hands in protest, then let them fall.
304
Rand raised his **[te] in [kōgi], then let them [aki].**
It made no sense, but he had heard the Whitecloak.
305
It made no **[kankaku], [shikashi] he had heard the Whitecloak.**
“What about you?
306
“What about you?
The Whitecloaks will make trouble for you even when they don’t find us.”
307
The Whitecloaks will make **[meiwaku] for you even when they don’t find us."**
“No worries about that, lad.
308
"No worries about that, **[wakamono].**
The Queen’s Guards still uphold the law, even if they do let traitors strut around showing white.
309
The **[joō]’s [keibi] still uphold the [hōritsu], even [baai] they do let [uragirimono] [suto ratto] around showing [shiroi].**
As for the night...
310
As for the **[yoru, kishi\_knt]...**
well, Lamgwin and his friends might not get much sleep, but I could almost pity anybody who tries to put a mark on my door.”
311
**[yoku], Lamgwin and his [yūjin] might not get much [suimin], [shikashi] I could almost [zannen] anybody who tries to put a [māku] on my [tobira]."**
Gilda appeared beside them, dropping a curtsy to Master Gill.
312
Gilda appeared beside them, dropping a **[ojigi] to [shujin] Gill.**
“Sir, there’s...
313
"**[sā], there’s...**
there’s a lady.
314
there’s a **[josei].**
In the kitchens.”
315
In the **[kicchin]."**
She sounded scandalized at the combination.
316
She sounded scandalized at the **[kumiawase].**
“She’s asking for Master Rand, sir, and Master Mat, by name.”
317
"She’s asking for **[shujin] Rand, [sā], and [shujin] Mat, by [namae]."**
Rand exchanged a puzzled look with the innkeeper.
318
Rand exchanged a puzzled **[hyōjō] with the [yadoya no shujin].**
“Lad,”
319
"**[wakamono],"**
Master Gill said, “if you’ve actually managed to bring the Lady Elayne down from the Palace to my inn, we’ll all end up facing the headsman.”
320
**[shujin] Gill said, "[baai] you’ve actually managed to bring the [josei] Elayne down from the [kyūden] to my [in], we’ll all [owari] up facing the [shikei shikkō jin]."**
Gilda squeaked at the mention of the Daughter-Heir and gave Rand a round-eyed stare.
321
Gilda squeaked at the **[genkyū] of the [musume]-[sōzoku jin] and gave Rand a round-eyed [gyōshi].**
“Off with you, girl,”
322
"Off with you, **[onnanoko],"**
the innkeeper said sharply.
323
the **[yadoya no shujin] said sharply.**
“And keep quiet about what you’ve heard.
324
"And **[kīpu] [shizuka] about what you’ve heard.**
It’s nobody’s business.”
325
It’s nobody’s **[bijinesu]."**
Gilda bobbed again and darted down the hallway, flashing glances over her shoulder at Rand as she went.
326
Gilda bobbed again and darted down the **[rōka], flashing [shisen] over her [kata] at Rand as she went.**
“In five minutes”
327
"In five **[bun]"**
– Master Gill sighed – “she will be telling the other women you’re a prince in disguise.
328
– **[shujin] Gill sighed – "she will be [uranai] the [sonota] [josei] you’re a [purinsu] in [hensō].**
By nightfall it will be all over the New City.”
329
By **[higure] it will be all over the New [toshi]."**
“Master Gill,”
330
"**[shujin] Gill,"**
Rand said, “I never mentioned Mat to Elayne.
331
Rand said, “I never mentioned Mat to Elayne.
It can’t be–”
332
It can’t be .”
Suddenly a huge smile lit up his face, and he ran for the kitchens.
333
Suddenly a huge **[egao] lit up his [kao], and he hashitta for the [kicchin].**
“Wait!”
334
"**[taiki]!"**
the innkeeper called behind him.
335
the **[yadoya no shujin] called behind him.**
“Wait until you know.
336
"**[taiki] until you know.**
Wait, you fool!”
337
**[taiki], you [baka]!"**
Rand threw open the door to the kitchens, and there they were.
338
Rand threw **[ōpun] the [tobira] to the [kicchin], and there they were.**
Moiraine rested her serene eyes on him, unsurprised.
339
Moiraine rested her serene **[me] on him, unsurprised.**
Nynaeve and Egwene ran laughing to throw their arms around him, with Perrin crowding in behind them, all three patting his shoulders as if they had to be convinced that he was really there.
340
Nynaeve and Egwene hashitta laughing to throw their **[ude] around him, with Perrin crowding in behind them, all three patting his [kata] as [baai] they had to be convinced that he was really there.**
In the doorway leading to the stableyard Lan lounged with one boot up on the doorframe, dividing his attention between the kitchen and the yard outside.
341
In the **[toguchi] leading to the stableyard Lan lounged with one [būtsu] up on the [tobira furēmu], dividing his [chūi] between the [kicchin] and the [niwa] [soto ni].**
Rand tried to hug the two women and shake Perrin’s hand, all at the same time, and it was a tangle of arms and laughter complicated by Nynaeve trying to feel his face for fever.
342
Rand tried to **[hōyō] the two [josei] and [furu] Perrin’s [te], all at the same [jikan], and it was a [motsure] of [ude] and [warai] complicated by Nynaeve trying to feel his [kao] for [hatsunetsu].**
They looked somewhat the worse for wear – bruises on Perrin’s face, and he had a way of keeping his eyes downcast that he had never had before – but they were alive, and together again.
343
They looked somewhat the worse for wear – **[aza] on Perrin’s [kao], and he had a [michi] of keeping his [me] [daun kyasuto] that he had never had before – [shikashi] they were alive, and together again.**
His throat was so tight he could barely talk.
344
His **[nodo] was so tight he could barely [hanashi].**
“I was afraid I’d never see you again,”
345
“I was afraid I’d never see you again,”
he managed finally.
346
he managed finally.
“I was afraid you were all...”
347
“I was afraid you were all...”
“I knew you were alive,”
348
“I knew you were alive,”
Egwene said against his chest.
349
Egwene said against his **[mune].**
“I always knew it.
350
“I always knew it.
Always.”
351
Always.”
“I did not,”
352
“I did not,”
Nynaeve said.
353
Nynaeve said.
Her voice was sharp for just that moment, but it softened in the next, and she smiled up at him.
354
Her **[koe] was sharp for just that [shunkan], [shikashi] it softened in the next, and she smiled up at him.**
“You look well, Rand.
355
"You **[hyōjō] [yoku], Rand.**
Not overfed by any means, but well, thank the Light.”
356
Not overfed by any means, **[shikashi] [yoku], thank the [hikari]."**
“Well,”
357
"**[yoku],"**
Master Gill said behind him, “I guess you know these people after all.
358
**[shujin] Gill said behind him, "I [suisoku] you know these [hitobito] after all.**
Those friends you were looking for?”
359
Those **[yūjin] you were looking for?"**
Rand nodded.
360
Rand nodded.
“Yes, my friends.”
361
"Yes, my **[yūjin]."**
He made introductions all around; it still felt odd to be giving Lan and Moiraine their right names.
362
He made **[shōkai] all around; it still [kanjita] odd to be giving Lan and Moiraine their [migi] [namae].**
They both eyed him sharply when he did.
363
They both eyed him sharply when he did.
The innkeeper greeted everyone with an open smile, but he was properly impressed at meeting a Warder, and especially at Moiraine.
364
The **[yadoya no shujin] greeted everyone with an [ōpun] [egao], [shikashi] he was properly impressed at [kaigi] a [kanshu], and especially at Moiraine.**
At her he gaped openly – it was one thing knowing an Aes Sedai had been helping the boys, quite something else having her appear in the kitchen – then bowed deeply.
365
At her he gaped openly – it was one **[koto] knowing an Aes Sedai had been [yakudachimasu] the [otokonoko], quite something else having her appear in the [kicchin] – then bowed deeply.**
“You are welcome to The Queen’s Blessing, Aes Sedai, as my guest.
366
"You are **[yōkoso] to The [joō]’s [shukufuku], Aes Sedai, as my [okyakusama].**
Though I suppose you will be staying at the Palace with Elaida Sedai, and the Aes Sedai who came with the false Dragon.”
367
Though I suppose you will be staying at the **[kyūden] with Elaida Sedai, and the Aes Sedai who came with the false [doragon]."**
Bowing again, he gave Rand a quick, worried look.
368
Bowing again, he gave Rand a quick, worried **[hyōjō].**
It was all very well to say he did not speak ill of Aes Sedai, but that was not the same as saying he wanted one sleeping under his roof.
369
It was all **[hijō ni] [yoku] to say he did not speak [byōki] of Aes Sedai, [shikashi] that was not the same as saying he wanted one sleeping under his [yane].**
Rand nodded encouragingly, trying to tell him silently that it was all right.
370
Rand nodded encouragingly, trying to tell him silently that it was all **[migi].**
Moiraine was not like Elaida, with a threat hidden behind every glance, under every word.
371
Moiraine was not like Elaida, with a **[kyōi] hidden behind every [ichimoku], under every [kotoba].**
Are you sure?
372
Are you sure?
Even now, are you sure?
373
Even now, are you sure?
“I believe I will stay here,”
374
"I **[shinjiru] I will [taizai] here,"**
Moiraine said, “for the short time I remain in Caemlyn.
375
Moiraine said, "for the short **[jikan] I remain in Caemlyn.**
And you must allow me to pay.”
376
And you must allow me to **[yūryō]."**
A calico cat sauntered in from the hallway to strop the innkeeper’s ankles.
377
A **[kyarako] [neko] sauntered in from the [rōka] to [suto rappu] the [yadoya no shujin]’s [ashikubi].**
No sooner had the calico begun than a fuzzy gray sprang from under the table, arching its back and hissing.
378
No sooner had the **[kyarako] begun than a fuzzy [gurē] sprang from under the [hyō], arching its back and hissing.**
The calico crouched with a threatening growl, and the gray streaked past Lan into the stableyard.
379
The **[kyarako] crouched with a threatening growl, and the [gurē] streaked past Lan into the stableyard.**
Master Gill began apologizing for the cats at the same time he protested that Moiraine would honor him by being his guest, and was she sure she would not prefer the Palace, which he would quite understand, but he hoped she would accept his best room as a gift.
380
**[shujin] Gill began apologizing for the [neko] at the same [jikan] he protested that Moiraine would [meiyo] him by [kōfuku] his [okyakusama], and was she sure she would not prefer the [kyūden], which he would quite understand, [shikashi] he hoped she would accept his best [heya] as a [okurimono].**
It made a jumble to which Moiraine seemed to pay no attention at all.
381
It made a **[yose atsume] to which Moiraine seemed to [yūryō] no [chūi] at all.**
Instead she bent down to scratch the orange-and-white cat; it promptly left Master Gill’s ankles for hers.
382
Instead she **[magatta] down to [kizu] the [orenji]-and-[shiroi] [neko]; it promptly left [shujin] Gill’s [ashikubi] for hers.**
“I’ve seen four other cats here, so far,”
383
"I’ve seen four **[sonota] [neko] here, so far,"**
she said.
384
she said.
“You have a problem with mice?
385
"You have a **[mondai] with [mausu]?**
Rats?”
386
**[ratto]?"**
“Rats, Moiraine Sedai.”
387
"**[ratto], Moiraine Sedai."**
The innkeeper sighed.
388
The **[yadoya no shujin] sighed.**
“A terrible problem.
389
"A terrible **[mondai].**
Not that I don’t keep a clean place, you understand.
390
Not that I don’t **[kīpu] a clean [basho], you understand.**
It’s all the people.
391
It’s all the **[hitobito].**
The whole city is full of people and rats.
392
The whole **[toshi] is full of [hitobito] and [ratto].**
But my cats take care of it.
393
**[shikashi] my [neko] take [kaigo] of it.**
You’ll not be troubled, I promise.”
394
You’ll not be troubled, I **[yakusoku]."**
Rand exchanged a fleeting look with Perrin, who put his eyes down again right away.
395
Rand exchanged a fleeting **[hyōjō] with Perrin, who put his [me] down again [migi] away.**
There was something odd about Perrin’s eyes.
396
There was something odd about Perrin’s **[me].**
And he was so silent; Perrin was almost always slow to speak, but now he was saying nothing at all.
397
And he was so silent; Perrin was almost always **[osoi] to speak, [shikashi] now he was saying nothing at all.**
“It could be all the people,”
398
"It could be all the **[hitobito],"**
he said.
399
he said.
“With your permission, Master Gill,”
400
"With your **[kyoka], [shujin] Gill,"**
Moiraine said, as if she took it for granted.
401
Moiraine said, as **[baai] she took it for granted.**
“It is a simple matter to keep rats away from this street.
402
"It is a simple **[mondai] to [kīpu] [ratto] away from this [sutorīto].**
With luck, the rats will not even realize they are being kept away.”
403
With **[un], the [ratto] will not even realize they are [kōfuku] kept away."**
Master Gill frowned at that last, but he bowed, accepting her offer.
404
**[shujin] Gill frowned at that [saigo], [shikashi] he bowed, accepting her [teikyō].**
“If you are sure you don’t want to stay at the Palace, Aes Sedai.”
405
"**[baai] you are sure you don’t want to [taizai] at the [kyūden], Aes Sedai."**
“Where is Mat?”
406
“Where is Mat?”
Nynaeve said suddenly.
407
Nynaeve said suddenly.
“She said he was here, too.”
408
“She said he was here, too.”
“Upstairs,”
409
“Upstairs,”
Rand said.
410
Rand said.
“He’s...
411
“He’s...
not feeling well.”
412
not **[kanji] [yoku]."**
Nynaeve’s head came up.
413
Nynaeve’s **[atama] came up.**
“He’s sick?
414
“He’s sick?
I’ll leave the rats to her, and I’ll attend to him.
415
I’ll **[kyūka] the [ratto] to her, and I’ll attend to him.**
Take me to him now, Rand.”
416
Take me to him now, Rand.”
“All of you go up,”
417
“All of you go up,”
Moiraine said.
418
Moiraine said.
“I will join you in a few minutes.
419
"I will **[sanka shimasu] you in a few [bun].**
We are crowding Master Gill’s kitchen, and it would be best if we could all be somewhere quiet for a time.”
420
We are crowding **[shujin] Gill’s [kicchin], and it would be best [baai] we could all be somewhere [shizuka] for a [jikan]."**
There was an undercurrent in her voice.
421
There was an **[teiryū] in her [koe].**
Stay out of sight.
422
**[taizai] out of [kōkei].**
The hiding is not done yet.
423
The hiding is not done yet.
“Come on,”
424
“Come on,”
Rand said.
425
Rand said.
“We’ll go up the back way.”
426
"We’ll go up the **[rimen] [michi]."**
The Emond’s Field folk crowded after him to the back staircase, leaving the Aes Sedai and the Warder in the kitchen with Master Gill.
427
The Emond’s **[ryōiki] [fōku] crowded after him to the [rimen] [kaidan], leaving the Aes Sedai and the [kanshu] in the [kicchin] with [shujin] Gill.**
He could not get over being back together.
428
He could not get over **[kōfuku] back together.**
It was nearly as if he were home again.
429
It was nearly as **[baai] he were home again.**
He could not stop grinning.
430
He could not **[teishi] grinning.**
The same relief, almost joyous, seemed to be affecting the others.
431
The same **[ando], almost joyous, seemed to be affecting the [tanin].**
They chuckled to themselves, and kept reaching out to grip his arm.
432
They chuckled to themselves, and kept reaching out to **[gurippu] his [āmu].**
Perrin’s voice seemed subdued, and he still kept his head down, but he began to talk as they climbed.
433
Perrin’s **[koe] seemed subdued, and he still kept his [atama] down, [shikashi] he began to [hanashi] as they climbed.**
“Moiraine said she could find you and Mat, and she did.
434
“Moiraine said she could find you and Mat, and she did.
When we rode into the city, the rest of us couldn’t stop staring – well, all except Lan, of course – all the people, the buildings, everything.”
435
When we rode into the **[toshi], the [nokori] of us couldn’t [teishi] staring – [yoku], all except Lan, of [mochiron] – all the [hitobito], the [tatemono], everything."**
His thick curls swung as he shook his head in disbelief.
436
His thick curls swung as he shook his **[atama] in [shinjirare nai].**
“It’s all so big.
437
“It’s all so big.
And so many people.
438
And so many **[hitobito].**
Some of them kept staring at us, too, shouting ’Red or white?’ like it made some kind of sense.”
439
Some of them kept staring at us, too, shouting ’**[akai] or [shiroi]?’ like it made some [shinsetsu] of [kankaku]."**
Egwene touched Rand’s sword, fingering the red wrappings.
440
Egwene touched Rand’s **[ken], fingering the [akai] [rappingu].**
“What does it mean?”
441
“What does it mean?”
“Nothing,”
442
“Nothing,”
he said.
443
he said.
“Nothing important.
444
“Nothing important.
We’re leaving for Tar Valon, remember?”
445
We’re leaving for **[tāru] Valon, remember?"**
Egwene gave him a look, but she removed her hand from the sword and took up where Perrin had left off.
446
Egwene gave him a **[hyōjō], [shikashi] she removed her [te] from the [ken] and took up where Perrin had left off.**
“Moiraine didn’t look at anything any more than Lan did.
447
"Moiraine didn’t **[hyōjō] at anything any more than Lan did.**
She led us back and forth through all those streets so many times, like a dog hunting a scent, that I thought you couldn’t be here.
448
She led us back and forth through all those **[machi] so many [kai], like a [inu] hunting a [kaori], that I [shikō] you couldn’t be here.**
Then, all of a sudden, she took off down a street, and the next thing I knew we were handing the horses to the stablemen and marching into the kitchen.
449
Then, all of a sudden, she took off down a **[sutorīto], and the next [koto] I knew we were handing the [uma] to the stablemen and marching into the [kicchin].**
She never even asked if you were here.
450
She never even asked **[baai] you were here.**
Just told a woman who was mixing batter to go tell Rand al’Thor and Mat Cauthon that someone wanted to see them.
451
Just told a **[onna] who was mixing batter to go tell Rand al’Thor and Mat Cauthon that [dare-ka] wanted to see them.**
And there you were”
452
And there you were”
– she grinned —”
453
– she grinned — "like a **[utsuwa-bw, tama-bl] popping into the [ginyūshijin]’s [te] out of nowhere."**
like a ball popping into the gleeman’s hand out of nowhere.”
454
"Where is the **[ginyūshijin]?"**
“Where is the gleeman?”
455
Perrin asked.
Perrin asked.
456
“Is he with you?”
“Is he with you?”
457
Rand’s **[i] lurched and the [yoi] [kanji] of having [yūjin] around him dimmed.**
Rand’s stomach lurched and the good feeling of having friends around him dimmed.
458
"Thom’s **[shin da].**
“Thom’s dead.
459
I think he’s **[shin da].**
I think he’s dead.
460
There was a Fade...”

He could not say any more.

462
Nynaeve shook her **[atama], muttering under her [iki].**
Nynaeve shook her head, muttering under her breath.
463
The **[chinmoku] thickened around them, stifling the little [warau], flattening the [yorokobi], until they reached the [atama] of the [kaidan].**
The silence thickened around them, stifling the little chuckles, flattening the joy, until they reached the head of the stairs.
464
“Mat’s not sick, exactly,”

he said then.
he said then.
466
“It’s...

You’ll see.”

He flung **[ōpun] the [tobira] to the [heya] he shared with Mat.**
He flung open the door to the room he shared with Mat.
469
"**[hyōjō] who’s here, Mat."**
“Look who’s here, Mat.”
470
Mat was still curled up in a **[utsuwa-bw, tama-bl] on the [shindai], just as Rand had left him.**
Mat was still curled up in a ball on the bed, just as Rand had left him.
471
He raised his **[atama] to [gyōshi] at them.**

472
"How do you know they’re really who they **[hyōjō] like?"**
“How do you know they’re really who they look like?”
473
he said hoarsely.

474
His **[kao] was flushed, the [hada] tight and slick with [ase].**
His face was flushed, the skin tight and slick with sweat.
475
"How do I know you’re who you **[hyōjō] like?"**
“How do I know you’re who you look like?”
476
“Not sick?”
“Not sick?”
477
Nynaeve gave Rand a disdainful **[hyōjō] as she pushed past him, already unslinging her [baggu] from her [kata].**
Nynaeve gave Rand a disdainful look as she pushed past him, already unslinging her bag from her shoulder.
478
"Everybody **[henka],"**
“Everybody changes,”

Mat rasped.

480
“How can I be sure?
“How can I be sure?
481
Perrin?
Perrin?
482
Is that you?
Is that you?
483
You’ve changed, haven’t you?”
You’ve changed, haven’t you?”
484
His **[warai] sounded more like a [seki].**
His laugh sounded more like a cough.
485
“Oh, yes, you’ve changed.”
“Oh, yes, you’ve changed.”
486
To Rand’s **[odoroki] Perrin dropped onto the [hashi] of the [sonota] [shindai] with his [atama] in [te], staring at the [yuka].**
To Rand’s surprise Perrin dropped onto the edge of the other bed with his head in hands, staring at the floor.

Mat’s hacking **[warai] seemed to pierce him.**

"You’re **[moeru],"**
“You’re burning,”
492
she said, "**[shikashi] you should not be sweating with this much [hatsunetsu]."**
she said, “but you should not be sweating with this much fever.”
493
She could not **[kīpu] the [shinpai] out of her [koe].**

496
"**[kawaii] Nynaeve,"**
“Pretty Nynaeve,”

Mat spat.
Mat spat.

"A **[chie] isn’t supposed to think of herself as a [onna], is she?**

But you do, don’t you?
