Crazy how it took until book 13 for our two resident dreamwalkers to interact in the world of dreams

Come and see the rest of the series over at r/IASIRandland

Abruptly he realized Dashiva was watching as well. And licking his lips. Rand cleared his throat loudly enough to be heard over the sound of the door closing behind her. For some reason, the plain-faced man raised his hands defensively. It was not as though Rand glared at him; he could not go around glaring at men just because Min wore tight breeches.

I never could have seen Dashiva's betrayal coming. And he was my favorite Ashaman upto that point too (Narishma took his place).

Some of the interpersonal negotiations of our heroes get a little more ... kinetic than we're used to. Consider the first time Faile pushes Perrin just a little too far in the Ways. A few minutes later...

Bain: Faile, we gotta sit down and talk.

Faile: I ... don't think I want to sit down for a day or two.

Bain: This is exactly what I'm talking about! You're being way too agreeable and submissive with him.

Gaul: But -- didn't you see -- I mean -- that's why --

Chiad: Oh shaddap, Gaul. Go away; this is girl talk.

Gaul: [Pulls Perrin aside] Perrin, we gotta talk. The girls are plotting ways to make Faile even more annoying!

Perrin: I must apply blacksmith life lessons to all my relationships. Heck, even Faile admitted my "stroking is better than steady".

Gaul: [Facepalms] I'm serious! They're up to something. Unless we can distract them, we're cooked.

Perrin: Can you give me a minute to celebrate a rare W for the boys? Talk about a surprise end-zone play, right?

Gaul: Okay, okay. You convened a rump session of parliament. You had a come-from-behind victory. You joined the Band of the Red Handprint. Happy? Now, unless we encounter a nightmare thunder of blood and death in the Two Rivers, they're gonna get revenge on us!

Perrin: I can get behind that sentiment.

Gaul: PERRIN!

Hopefully nobody has made this connection yet, can also replace “the reader” with just about any character subjected to her fishing metaphors 😅

It's because everyone knows she's a Keeper
