ar and pursed his lips。 ;Very well。;
       Rand could not help laughing。 ;I left Whitebridge sure you were dead。 Moiraine said you were still alive�察�but I 。。。 Light�察�Thom�察�it's good to see you again� �I should have gone back to help you。;
       ;Bigger fool if you had�察�boy。 That Fade; ´ he looked around�察�there was no one close enough to hear�察�but he lowered his voice anyway ´ ;had no interest in me。 It left me a little present of a stiff leg and ran off after you and Mat。 All you could have done was die。; He paused�察�looking thoughtful。 ;Moiraine said I was still alive�察�did she�拭�Is she with you�察�then�拭�
       Rand shook his head。 To his surprise�察�Thom seemed disappointed。
       ;Too bad�察�in a way。 She's a fine woman�察�even if she is 。。。; He left it unsaid。 ;So it was Mat or Perrin she was after。 I won't ask which。 They were good boys�察�and I don't want to know。; Rand shifted uneasily�察�and gave a start when Thom fixed him with a bony finger。 ;What I do want to know is�察�do you still have my harp and flute�拭�I want them back�察�boy。 What I have now are not fit for a pig to play。;
       ;I have them�察�Thom。 I'll bring them to you�察�I promise。 I can't believe you are alive。 And I can't believe you aren't in Illian。 The Great Hunt setting out。 The prize for the best telling of The Great Hunt of the Horn。 You were dying to go。;
       Thom snorted。 ;After Whitebridge�拭�Likely I'd die if I did go。 Even if I could have reached the boat before it sailed�察�Domon and his whole crew would be spreading the tale all over Illian about how I was being chased by Trollocs。 If they saw the Fade�察�or heard of it�察�before Domon cut his lines 。。。 Most Illianers think Trollocs and Fades are fables�察�but enough others might want to know why a man was pursued by them to make Illian somewhat more than unfortable。;
       ;Thom�察�I have so much to tell you。;
       The gleeman cut him off。 ;Later�察�boy。; He was exchanging glares down the length of the hall with the narrow´faced man from the door。 ;If I don't go back and tell another�察�he will no doubt send the juggler out�察�and that lot will tear the hall down around our heads。 You e to The Bunch of Grapes�察�just beyond the Jangai Gate。 I have a room there。 Anyone can tell you where to find it。 I'll be there in another hour or so。 One more tale will have to satisfy them。; He started back up the steps�察�flinging over his shoulder�察 �And bring my harp and my flute� �

Discord

       Rand darted through the mon room of The Defender of the Dragonwall and hurried upstairs�察�grinning at the startled look the innkeeper had given him。 Rand wanted to grin at everything。 Thom's alive��
       He flung open the door to his room and went straight to the wardrobe。
       Loial and Hurin put their heads in from the other room�察�both in their shirtsleeves and with pipes in their teeth trailing thin streams of smoke。
       ;Has something happened�察�Lord Rand�拭─�Hurin asked anxiously。
       Rand slung the bundle made from Thom's cloak on his shoulder。 ;The best thing that could�察�next to Ingtar ing。 Thom Merrilin's alive。 And he's here�察�in Cairhien。;
       ;The gleeman you told me about�拭─�Loial said。 ;That is wonderful�察�Rand。 I would like to meet him。;
       ;Then e with me�察�if Hurin's willing to keep watch awhile。;
       ;It would be a pleasure�察�Lord Rand。 ; Hurin took the pipe out of his mouth。 ;That lot in the mon room kept trying to pump me ´ without letting on what they were doing�察�of course ´ about who you are�察�my Lord�察�and why we're in Cairhien。 I told them we were waiting here to meet friends�察�but being Cairhienin�察�they figured I was hiding something deeper。;
       ;Let them think what they want。 e on�察�Loial。;
       ;I think not。; The Ogier sighed。 ;I really would rather stay here。; He raised a book with a thick finger marking his place。 ;I can meet Thom Merrilin some other time。;
       ;Loial�察�you can't stay cooped up in here forever。 We do not even know how long we'll be in Cairhien。 Anyway�察�we didn't see any Ogier。 And if we do�察�they would not be hunting for you�察�would they�拭�
       ;Not hunting�察�precisely�察�but 。。。 Rand�察�I may have been too hasty in leaving Stedding Shangtai the way I did。 When I do go home�察�I may be in a great deal of trouble。; His ears wilted。 ;Even if I wait until I'm as old as Elder Haman。 Perhaps I could find an abandoned stedding to stay in until then。;
       ;If Elder Haman won't let you e back�察�you can live in Emond's Field。 It's a pretty place。; A beautiful place。
       ;I am sure it is�察�Rand�察�but that would never work。 You see ´;
       ;We will talk about it when it es to that�察�Loial。 Now you are ing to see Thom。;
       The Ogier stood half again as tall as Rand�察�but Rand pushed him into his long tunic and cloak and down the stairs。 When they came pounding through the mon room�察�Rand winked at the innkeeper�察�then laughed at his startled look。 Let him think I'm off to play his bloody Great Game。 Let him think what he wants。 Thom's alive。
       Once through the Jangai Gate�察�in the east wall of the city�察�everyone seemed to know The Bunch of Grapes。 Rand and Loial quickly found themselves there�察�on a street that was quiet for the Foregate�察�with the sun halfway down the afternoon sky。
       It was an old three´story structure�察�wooden and rickety�察�but the mon room was clean and full of people。 Some men were playing at dice in one corner�察�and some women at darts in another。 Half had the look of Cairhienin�察�slight and pale�察�but Rand heard Andoran accents as well as others he did not know。 All wore the clothes of the Foregate�察�though�察�a blend of the styles of half a dozen countries。 A few looked around when he and Loial came in�察�but they all turned back to what they had been doing。
       The innkeeper was a woman with hair as white as Thom's�察�and sharp eyes that studied Loial as well as Rand。 She was not Cairhienin�察�by her dark skin and her speech。 ;Thom Merrilin�拭�Aye�察�he has a room。 Top of the stairs�察�first door on the right。 Likely Dena will let you wait for him there; ´ she eyed Rand's red coat�察�with its herons on the high collar and golden brambles embroidered up the sleeves�察�and his sword ´ ;my Lord。;
       The stairs creaked under Rand's boots�察�let alone Loial's。 Rand was not sure if the building would stand up much longer。 He found the door and knocked�察�wondering who Dena was。
       ;e in�察─�a woman's voice called。 ;I cannot open it for you。;
       Rand opened the door hesitantly and put his head in。 A big�察�rumpled bed was shoved against one wall�察�and the rest of the room was all but taken up by a pair of wardrobes�察�several brass´bound trunks and chests�察�a table and two wooden chairs。 The slender woman sitting cross´legged on the bed with her skirts tucked under her was keeping six colored balls spinning in a wheel between her hands。
       ;Whatever it is�察─�she said�察�looking at her juggling�察 �leave it on the table。 Thom will pay you when he es back。;
       ;Are you Dena�拭─�Rand asked。
       She snatched the balls out of the air and turned to regard him。 She was only a handful of years older than he�察�pretty�察�with fair Cairhienin skin and dark hair hanging loose to her shoulders。 ;I do not know you。 This is my room�察�mine and Thom Merrilin's。;
       ;The innkeeper said you might let us wait here for Thom�察─�Rand said。 ;If you're Dena�拭�
       ;Us�拭─�Rand moved into the room so Loial could duck inside�察�and the young woman's eyebrows lifted。 ;So the Ogier have e back。 I am Dena。 What do you want�拭─�She looked at Rand's coat so deliberately that the failure to add ;my Lord; had to be purposeful�察�though her brows went up again at the herons on his scabbard and sword hilt。
       Rand hefted the bundle he carried。 ;I've brought Thom back his harp and his flute。 And I want to visit with him�察─�he added quickly�察�she seemed on the point of telling him to leave them。 ;I haven't seen him in a long time。;
       She eyed the bundle。 ;Thom always moans about losing the best flute and the best harp he ever had。 You would think he was a court´bard�察�the way he carries on。 Very well。 You can wait�察�but I must practice。 Thom says he will let me perform in the halls next week。; She rose gracefully and took one of the two chairs�察�motioning Loial to sit on the bed。 ;Zera would make Thom pay for six chairs if you broke one of these�察�friend Ogier。;
       Rand gave their names as he sat in the other chair ´ it creaked alarmingly under even his weight ´ and asked doubtfully�察 �Are you Thom's apprentice�拭�
       Dena gave a small smile。 ;You might say that。; She had resumed her juggling�察�and her eyes were on the whirling balls。
       ;I have never heard of a woman gleeman�察─�Loial said。
       ;I will be the first。; The one big circle became two smaller�察�overlapping circles。 ;I will see the whole world before I am done。 Thom says once we have enough money�察�we will go down to Tear。; She switched to juggling three balls in each hand。 ;And then maybe out to the Sea Folk's islands。 The Atha'an Miere pay gleemen well。;
       Rand eyed the room�察�with all the chests and trunks。 It did not look like the room of someone intending to move on soon。 There was even a flower growing in a pot on the windowsill。 His gaze fell on the single big bed�察�where Loial was sitting。 This is my room�察�mine and Thom Merrilin's。 Dena gave him a challenging look through the large wheel she had resumed。 Rand's face reddened。
       He cleared his throat。 ;Maybe we ought to wait downstairs�察─�he began when the door opened and Thom came in with his cloak flapping around his ankles�察�patches fluttering。 Cased flute and harp hung on his back�察�the cases were reddish wood�察�polished by handling。
       Dena made the balls disappear inside her dress and ran to throw her arms around Thom's neck�察�standing atiptoe to do it。 ;I missed you�察─�she said�察�and kissed him。
       The kiss went on for some time�察�so long that Rand was beginning to wonder if he and Loial should leave�察�but Dena let her heels drop to the floor with a sigh。
       ;Do you know what that lack´wit Seaghan's done now�察�girl�拭─�Thom said�察�looking down at her。 ;He's taken on a pack of louts who call themselves 'players。' They walk around pretending to be Rogosh Eagle´eye�察�and Blaes�察�and Gaidal Cain�察�and。。。 Aaagh� �They hang a scrap of painted canvas
