! __Min__ POV

[Min|Min Farshaw] and the embassy from [Salidar] arrive in [Caemlyn] before dawn. [Min|Min Farshaw] is riding [Wildrose]. [Merana|Merana Ambrey] was angered by what [Dragonsworn] did in [Murandy]. [Merana|Merana Ambrey] who is from [Caemlyn] takes them to the finest inn in the [New City|Caemlyn], [The Crown of Roses]. Then they send [Min|Min Farshaw] to the [Royal Palace]. [Min|Min Farshaw] is still wearing pants. After her father died, her aunts [Rana], [Jan] and [Miren] tried to get her to wear dresses. When she was twenty she worked at [The Miners' Rest] in [Baerlon] for a very short time and vowed never to wear a dress again. [Min|Min Farshaw] rides up to the shortest [Aiel]. They introduce themselves and [Enaila] takes [Min|Min Farshaw] to see [Rand|Rand alThor]. [Min|Min Farshaw] has a viewing of [Enaila]:

* A wreath of some sort; [Min|Min Farshaw] had no idea what it meant.[1]

[Rand|Rand alThor] is in the Great Hall with several nobles. [Min|Min Farshaw] also [views|viewings] [Rand|Rand alThor] when she first sees him:

* Countless thousands of sparkling lights, like stars or fireflies, rushed into a great blackness, trying to fill it up, rushed in and were swallowed. There seemed to be more lights than she had ever seen before, but the darkness swallowed them at a greater rate, too. 
* And there was something else, something new, an aura of yellow and brown and purple that made her stomach clench.

[Rand|Rand alThor] walks to her smiling.

! __Rand__ POV

[Rand|Rand alThor] sends away the nobles [Dyelin|Dyelin Taravin], [Ellorien|Ellorien Traemane], [Aemlyn|Aemlyn Carand], [Arathelle|Arathelle Renshar], [Pelivar|Pelivar Coelan] and [Luan|Luan Norwelyn]. He told them that [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] is on her way but they do not necessarily believe him. He dismisses all the [Maidens|Maidens of the Spear] except [Enaila] and [Somara]. [Nandera] is as bad as [Sulin] was about hand picking [Maidens|Maidens of the Spear] who mother him. [Bashere|Davram Bashere] is out with his cavalry. [Rand|Rand alThor] keeps the [little fat man] %%ot [angreal|Angreal]%% in his coat pocket. [Min|Min Farshaw] gives [Rand|Rand alThor] [Elayne|Elayne Trakand]'s letter. It only confuses him more about her feelings toward him. [Rand|Rand alThor] says he does not know how he feels about [Elayne|Elayne Trakand] or [Aviendha] and [Min|Min Farshaw] is really ticked by his talking about other women. She sits in his lap. She then tells him about the embassy. There are nine of them. She tells him that they mean no harm. She has not had any [viewings] that would indicate otherwise. [Min|Min Farshaw] tells [Rand|Rand alThor] about her [viewing|viewings] in the throne room:

* [Aes Sedai] are going to hurt you. Women who can [channel|True Source], anyway. It was all confused. I'm not sure about the [Aes Sedai] part. But it might happen more than once. I think that's why it seemed all scrambled.

[Lews Therin|Lews Therin Telamon] mutters that he must be careful with nine [Aes Sedai]. [Rand|Rand alThor] tells [Min|Min Farshaw] to take them a message that he will see them three at a time and that they must not [channel|True Source] at him. [Sulin] brings in a tray of refreshments and drops it when she sees [Min|Min Farshaw] in [Rand|Rand alThor]'s lap. [Rand|Rand alThor] introduces [Min|Min Farshaw] and warns [Sulin] that she is his close friend. [Sulin] stalks out in a fury. [Melaine] then enters and sits down in front of [Rand|Rand alThor]. [Melaine] is a lot calmer since marrying [Bael]. [Melaine] tells him about [Egwene|Egwene alVere] going to [Salidar]. [Rand|Rand alThor] says he already knows and that the [Salidar] embassy is in [Caemlyn]. [Min|Min Farshaw] has a [viewing|viewings] of [Melaine]:

* You will have two daughters, twins like mirrors.

[Melaine] is flabbergasted at the news and [Min|Min Farshaw] is annoyed that she spoke out.[2] [Min|Min Farshaw] goes on to explain all about her [viewings]. [Melaine] is delighted. [Bael] and [Dorindha|Dorindha (Roofmistress)] have three sons so he would like a daughter. [Min|Min Farshaw] proceeds to tell [Rand|Rand alThor] about the [Aes Sedai] in the embassy, [Merana Ambrey], [Kairen Stang], [Rafela Cindal], [Seonid Traighan], [Faeldrin Harella], [Demira Eriff], [Berenicia Morsad], [Masuri Sokawa] and [Valinde Nathenos]. [Rand|Rand alThor] tells them that he will show them respect but he will not trust them. [Melaine] goes to tell [Bael] the good news. [Rand|Rand alThor] is left alone with [Min|Min Farshaw], which feels awkward for some reason.

[#1] Most likely it is a bridal wreath meaning that [Enaila] will give up the spear and marry.
\\[#2] It must have been [Rand|Rand alThor]'s %%ot [ta'veren|Wheel of Time]%% effect that made her speak.
