! __Cadsuane__ POV

[Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin], [Bair] and [Sorilea], newly arrived from [Bandar Eban], regard [Semirhage]. [Daigian|Daigian Moseneillin] and [Sarene|Sarene Nemdahl] are outside the door, holding her shield. [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] is using flashing lights and ringing for sleep deprivation. [Sorilea] asks to speak to her and the weaves stop. [Semirhage] makes a normal, cruel statement. [Sorilea] responds that [Semirhage] seems more human than she expected and this seems to annoy [Semirhage]. She responds that she would like to see how hard she has to push to make an [Aiel] kill a blacksmith.[1] After the weaves are reset, [Sorilea] says they should kill her; she is too dangerous. [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] agrees she is dangerous, but she has valuable knowledge of weaves and the other [Forsaken]. The [Forsaken] are not as twisted as [Myrddraal|Fade] or [Draghkar]. Oddly, according to [Rand|Rand alThor], the [Forsaken] are very human, being petty, destructive and argumentative.[2] As they leave, [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] instructs [Daigian|Daigian Moseneillin] and [Sarene|Sarene Nemdahl] to make sure she is kept awake. They go to [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin]'s room. On the way, she thinks how far she still has to go to get [Rand|Rand alThor] ready for the [Last Battle|Creator]. In her room, a battered document box contains special items. She has it warded with inverted weaves.[3] [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] disarms the box and opens it. It contains the [access key|Control Statues] and the original [sad bracelets|Sad Bracelets]. [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] left the %%ot [a'dam|aDam]%%, the [sad bracelets|Sad Bracelets] copies and %%ot [Callandor]%% with some retired [Aes Sedai].[4] [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] tested an %%ot [a'dam|aDam]%% on herself and could not escape. [Sorilea] says [Rand|Rand alThor] has grown worse. [Cadsuane|Cadsuane Melaidhrin] agrees and they set to making a plan.

! Notes (Possible Spoilers)

[#1] Yet another reference to the unique standing of blacksmiths in [Aiel] culture. Does that mean [Perrin|Perrin Aybara] will play a special role with the [Aiel]?
\\[#2] We will get some further insight into the [Forsaken] in [TGS,Ch39].
\\[#3] Weave inversion is something she must have learned from [Nynaeve|Nynaeve alMeara].
\\[#4] Who and where??
