! __Min__ POV

It is late summer. The [Braem Wood] is north of the [Andor] border. To the southwest is the town of [Kore Springs], apparently just inside the [Andor] border. There is an inn in the town called [The Good Queen's Justice|The Good Queens Justice]. [Min|Min Farshaw], [Siuan|Siuan Sanche], and [Leane|Leane Sharif] are under guard in a shed. [Admer Nem], a local farmer, has accused the three of burning his barn down, with his milk cows in it, and of assault. [Logain|Logain Ablar] was with them, and was the one who punched the farmer, but he got away. All of them are using aliases: [Min|Min Farshaw] is [Serenla|Min Farshaw], [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] is [Mara|Siuan Sanche], [Leane|Leane Sharif] is [Amaena|Leane Sharif] and [Logain|Logain Ablar] is [Dalyn|Logain Ablar]. [Logain|Logain Ablar] does not know their true names. They have spent weeks searching for some gathering.[1] [Leane|Leane Sharif] starts acting [Domani|Arad Doman] using the makeup kit [Laras] gave to [Min|Min Farshaw]. [Leane|Leane Sharif]'s Aunt [Resara] taught her to be seductive. They are taken to the [The Good Queen's Justice|The Good Queens Justice] for trial and find that [Gareth Bryne] is the lord of the town. They are read charges by a woman named [Caralin], which now include theft of a purse with gold and silver ([Logain|Logain Ablar]'s work). [Admer Nem] and his wife, [Maigan Nem], testify about the attack. They want the women run out of town on a rail, all the way to [Jornhill]. [Bryne|Gareth Bryne] decides to recompense the farmer and have the women work for him. The three women swear a very strong oath to work for him. [Joni|Joni Shagrin] and [Thad Haren] are other residents here. [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] worms out of the oath by saying to [Min|Min Farshaw] that they will work for him - later. [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] has met [Bryne|Gareth Bryne] once before. [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] tells [Min|Min Farshaw] that [Serenla|Compleat] means "stubborn daughter" in the [Old Tongue]. Next time she may call her [Chalinda|Compleat], which means "sweet girl." As [Joni|Joni Shagrin] is taking the three back to [Bryne|Gareth Bryne]'s manor, [Logain|Logain Ablar] rescues them. [Min|Min Farshaw] again has a [viewing|viewings] of [Logain|Logain Ablar]:

* a halo flared around his head, a radiant crown of gold and blue.

They ride off, with [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] on [Bela], [Leane|Leane Sharif] on [Moonflower] and [Min|Min Farshaw] on [Wildrose]. They head south.
