 。。。 The ragged man saw him then�察�and froze in mid´step�察�heedless of people who all but stumbled over him。 The last doubt in Rand's mind vanished。
       ;Master Fain� ─�he shouted。 ;We all thought you were ´ ;
       As quick as a blink the peddler darted away�察�but Rand dodged after him�察�calling apologies over his shoulder to the people he bumped。 Through the crowd he just caught sight of Fain dashing into an alleyway�察�and he turned after。
       A few steps into the alleyway the peddler had stopped in his tracks。 A tall fence made it into a dead end。 As Rand skidded to a halt�察�Fain rounded on him�察�crouching warily and backing away。 He flapped grimy hands at Rand to stay back。 More than one rip showed in his coat�察�and his cloak was worn and tattered as if it had seen much harder use than it was meant for。
       ;Master Fain�拭─�Rand said hesitantly。 ;What is the matter�拭�It's me�察�Rand al'Thor�察�from Emond's Field。 We all thought the Trollocs had taken you。 ;
       Fain gestured sharply and�察�still in a crouch�察�ran a few crabbed steps toward the open end of the alley。 He did not try to pass Rand�察�or even e close to him。 ;Don't� ─�he rasped。 His head shifted constantly as he tried to see everything in the street beyond Rand。 ;Don't mention; ´ his voice dropped to a hoarse whisper�察�and he turned his head away�察�watching Rand with quick�察�sidelong glances´;them。 There be Whitecloaks in the town。;
       ;They have no reason to bother us�察─�Rand said。 ;e back to the Stag and Lion with me。 I'm staying there with friends。 You know most of them。 They'll be glad to see you�察�we all thought you were dead。;
       ;Dead�拭─�the peddler snapped indignantly。 ;Not Padan Fain。 Padan Fain knows which way to jump and where to land。 ; He straightened his rags as if they were feastday clothes。 ;Always have�察�and always will。 I'll live a long time。 Longer than ´; Abruptly his face tightened and his hands clutched hold of his coat front。 ;They burned my wagon�察�and all my goods。 Had no cause to be doing that�察�did they�拭�I couldn't get to my horses。 My horses�察�but that fat old innkeeper had them locked up in his stable。 I had to step quick not to get my throat slit�察�and what did it get me�拭�All that I've got left is what I stand up in。 Now�察�is that 
fair�拭�Is it�察�now�拭�
       ;Your horses are safe in Master al'Vere's stable。 You can get them anytime。 If you e to the inn with me�察�I'm sure Moiraine will help you get back to the Two Rivers。;
       ; Aaaaah� �She's 。。。 she's the Aes Sedai�察�is she�拭─�A guarded look came over Fain's face。 ;Maybe�察�though 。。。; He paused�察�licking his lips nervously。 ;How long will you be at this´What was it�拭�What did you call it�拭 � the Stag and Lion�拭�
       ;We leave tomorrow�察─�Rand said。 ;But what does that have to do with ´�拭�
       ;You just don't know�察─�Fain whined�察 �standing there with a full belly and a good night's sleep in a soft bed。 I've hardly slept a wink since that night。 My boots are all worn out with running�察�and as for what I've had to eat 。。。; His face twisted。 ;I don't want to be within miles of an Aes Sedai�察─�he spat the last words�察 �not miles and miles�察�but I may have to。 I've no choice�察�have I�拭�The thought of her eyes on me�察�of her even knowing where I am 。。。; He reached toward Rand as if he wanted to grab his coat�察�but his hands stopped short�察�fluttering�察�and he actually took a step back。 ;Promise me you won't tell her。 She frightens me。 There's no need to be telling her�察�no reason for an Aes Sedai to even be knowing I'm alive。 You have to promise。 You have to� �
       ;I promise�察─�Rand said soothingly。 ;But there's no reason for you to be afraid of her。 e with me。 The least you'll get is a hot meal。;
       ;Maybe。 Maybe。; Fain rubbed his chin pensively。 ;Tomorrow�察�you say�拭�In that time 。。。 You won't forget your promise�拭�You won't be letting her 。。。 �拭�
       ;I won't let her hurt you�察─�Rand said�察�wondering how be could stop an Aes Sedai�察�whatever she wanted to do。
       ;She won't hurt me�察─�Fain said。 ;No�察�she won't。 I won't be letting her。; Like a flash he hared past Rand into the crowd。
       ;Master Fain� ─�Rand called。 ;Wait� �
       He dashed out of the alley just in time to catch sight of a ragged coat disappearing around the next er。 Still calling�察�he ran after it�察�darted around the er。 He only had time to see a man's back before he crashed into it and they both went down in a heap in the mud。
       ;Can't you watch where you're going�拭─�came a mutter from under him�察�and Rand scrambled up in surprise。
       ;Mat�拭�
       Mat sat up with a baleful glare and began scraping mud off his cloak with his hands。 ;You must really be turning into a city man。 Sleep all morning and run right over people。 ; Climbing to his feet�察�he stared at his muddy hands�察�then muttered and wiped them off on his cloak。 ;Listen�察�you'll never guess who I thought I just saw。 ;
       ;Padan Fain�察─�Rand said。
       ;Padan Fa ´ How did you know�拭�
       ;I was talking to him�察�but he ran off。;
       ;So the Tro´; Mat stopped to look around warily�察�but the crowd was passing them by with never a glance。 Rand was glad he had learned a little caution。 ;So they didn't get him。 I wonder why he left Emond's Field�察�without a word like that�拭�Probably started running then�察�too�察�and didn't stop until he got here。 But why was he running just now�拭�
       Rand shook his head and wished he had not。 It felt as though it might fall off。 ;I don't know�察�except that he's afraid of M 。。。 Mistress Alys。; All this watching what you said was not easy。 ;He doesn't want her to know he's here。 He made me promise I wouldn't tell her。;
       ;Well�察�his secret is safe with me�察─�Mat said。 ;I wish she didn't know where I was�察�either。;
       ;Mat�拭─�People still streamed by without paying them any heed�察�but Rand lowered his voice anyway�察�and leaned closer。 ;Mat�察�did you have a nightmare last night�拭�About a man who killed a rat�拭�
       Mat stared at him without blinking。 ;You�察�too�拭─�he said finally。 ;And Perrin�察�I suppose。 I almost asked him this morning�察�but 。。。 He must have。 Blood and ashes� �Now somebody's making us dream things。 Rand�察�I wish nobody knew where I was。;
       ;There were dead rats all over the inn this morning。; He did not feel as afraid at saying it as he would have earlier。 He did not feel much of anything。 ;Their backs were broken。; His voice rang in his own ears。 If he was getting sick�察�he might have to go to Moiraine。 He was surprised that even the thought of the One Power being used on him did not bother him。
       Mat took a deep breath�察�hitching his cloak�察�and looked around as if searching for somewhere to go。 ;What's happening to us�察�Rand�拭�What�拭�
       ;I don't know。 I'm going to ask Thom for advice。 About whether to tell 。。。 anyone else。 ;
       ;No� �Not her。 Maybe him�察�but not her。;
       The sharpness of it took Rand by surprise。 ;Then you believed him�拭─�He did not need to say which ;him; he meant�察�the grimace on Mat's face said he understood。
       ;No�察─�Mat said slowly。 ;It's the chances�察�that's all。 If we tell her�察�and he was lying�察�then maybe nothing happens。 Maybe。 But maybe just him being in our dreams is enough for 。。。 I don't know。; He stopped to swallow。 ;If we don't tell her�察�maybe we'll have some more dreams。 Rats or no rats�察�dreams are better than 。。。 Remember the ferry�拭�I say we keep quiet。;
       ;All right。; Rand remembered the ferry ´ and Moiraine's threat�察�too´but somehow it seemed a long time ago。 ;All right。;
       ;Perrin won't say anything�察�will he�拭─�Mat went on�察�bouncing on his toes。 ;We have to get back to him。 If he tells her�察�she'll figure it out about all of us。 You can bet on it。 e on。; He started off briskly through the crowd。
       Rand stood there looking after him until Mat came back and grabbed him。 At the touch on his arm he blinked�察�then followed his friend。
       ;What's the matter with you�拭─�Mat asked。 ;You going to sleep again�拭�
       ;I think I have a cold�察─�Rand said�此�His head was as tight as a drum�察�and almost as empty。
       ;You can get some chicken soup when we get back to the inn�察─�Mat said。 He kept up a constant chatter as they hunted through the packed streets。 Rand made an effort to listen�察�and even to say something now and then�察�but it was an effort。 He was not tired�察�he did not want to sleep。 He just felt as if he were drifting。 After a while he found himself telling Mat about Min。
       ;A dagger with a ruby�察�eh�拭─�Mat said。 ;I like that。 I don't know about the eye�察�though。 Are you sure she wasn't making it up�拭�It seems to me she would know what it all means if she really is a soothsayer。;
       ;She didn't say she's a soothsayer�察─�Rand said。 ;I believe she does see things。 Remember�察�Moiraine was talking to her when we finished our baths。 And she knows who Moiraine is。;
       Mat frowned at him。 ;I thought we weren't supposed to use that name。;
       ;No�察─�Rand muttered。 He rubbed his head with both hands。 It was so hard to concentrate on anything。
       ;I think maybe you really are sick�察─�Mat said�察�still frowning。 Suddenly he pulled Rand to a stop by his coat sleeve。 ;Look at them。;
       Three men in breastplates and conical steel caps�察�burnished till they shone like silver�察�were making their way down the street toward Rand and Mat。 Even the mail on their arms gleamed。 Their long cloaks�察�pristine white and embroidered on the left breast with a golden sunburst�察�just cleared the mud and puddles of the street。 Their hands rested on their sword hilts�察�and they looked around them as if looking at things that had wriggled out from under a rotting log。 Nobody looked back�察�though。 Nobody even seemed to notice them。 Just the same�察�the three did not have to push through the crowd�察�the bustle parted to either side of the white´cloaked men as if by happenstance�察�leaving them to walk in a clear space that moved with them。
       ;Do you suppose they're Children of the Light�拭─�Mat asked in a loud voice。 A passerby looked hard at Mat�察�then quickened his pace。
       Rand nodded。 Children of the Light。 Whitecloaks。 Men who hated Aes Sedai。 Men who told people how to live�察�causing trouble for those who refused to obey。 If burned farms and worse could be called as mild as trouble。 I should be afraid�察�he thought。 Or curious。 Something�察�at any rate。 Instead he stared at them passively。
       ;They don't look like so much to me�察─�Mat said。 ;Full of themselves�察�though�察�aren't they�拭�
       ;They don't matter�察─�Rand said。 ;The inn。 We have to talk to Perrin。;
       ;Like Eward Congar。 He always has his nose in the air�察�too。; Suddenly Mat grinned�察�a twinkle in his eye。 ;Remember when he fell off the Wagon Bridge and had to tramp home dripping wet�拭�That took him down a peg for a month。;
       ;What does that have to do with Perrin�拭�
       ;See that�拭─�Mat pointed to a cart resting on its shafts in an alleyway just ahead of the Children。 A single stake held a dozen stacked barrels in place on the flat bed。 ;Watch。; Laughing�察�he darted into a cutler's shop to their left。
       Rand stared after him�察�knowing he should do something。 That look in Mat's eyes always meant one of his tricks。 But oddly�察�he found himself looking forward to whatever Mat was going to do。 Something told him that feeling was wrong�察�that it was dangerous�察�but he smiled in anticipation any
