! __Rand__ POV

[Rand|Rand alThor] and [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] travel the road from [Whitebridge] to [Caemlyn]. They hide when mounted patrols pass. [Rand|Rand alThor] keeps hoping to see [Thom|Thom Merrilin] come up from behind. [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] keeps fingering his [Ruby Dagger]. They spend their first night out of [Whitebridge] outside on the ground. They are running out of money and cannot afford to stay at an inn. [Rand|Rand alThor] asks [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] about selling the [Ruby Dagger], but [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] gets angry. They stay at several farms and get some meals in exchange for a few hours work. 

After several days they arrive at the Grinwell farm and [Master Grinwell] invites them to stay the night. The eldest daughter is [Else Grinwell].[1] She starts flirting with [Rand|Rand alThor]. [Mistress Grinwell] has yellow hair, which [Rand|Rand alThor] has never seen before. The Grinwells suggest that [Rand|Rand alThor] and [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] play at inns. [Mistress Grinwell] is suspicious of [Rand|Rand alThor]'s intent for her daughter and is happy to see him leave. 

The next day, at dusk, they enter the village of [Arien]. There is only one inn, and the innkeeper lets them stay there and have a meal in exchange for them performing. The next morning, [Eazil Forney] gives them a ride out of town. [Rand|Rand alThor] and [Mat|Matrim Cauthon] continue traveling in this manner for several days and then they arrive at [Four Kings].
