"Kuylen would face us himself rather than face assasins, in particular considering his relationship with Galder and some others... I didn`t know that man, he had a foolish sense of pride, I believe." Gallador responds to Ascar.
"Absolutely right," says Ascar. "Kuylen is the sort of man to take care of business himself- especially with the likes of you; you are no mere peasant to him. He holds to a certain code."
"Adelmo does seem likely, given her practice of using others to do her dirty work," Rand says, thinking of the activities they have done in her name. "But somehow I don't find it entirely likely that she is done with us yet. She was angry and someday will be a direct threat, but right now... I'm not so sure."
When Gallador asks if another Dark Side entity might be involved, Rand is skeptical but does not rule it out immediately.
"Someone has kept me from perusing future events," Rand explains. "It would only make sense that it was someone powerful enough in the Dark Side to do such a thing."
Rand rises from his restful evening, having gone to bed shortly after his discussion with Ascar to make sure he was ready for today. As he starts to sense trouble brewing during his morning routine, he grins grimly.
He will go to a comm unit and alert the others.
"I sense that our company is on its way," Rand states, simply. "Make ready for their arrival and assume your positions."
