In the Tarsin Palace, Mat tries to persuade the Windfinders and Aes Sedai to leave, telling him of the man he saw, which he has learned from Birgitte was a Gholam. The Aes Sedai have never heard of a gholam and the Windfinders do not believe him. He wonders why Elayne and Nynaeve don't help and decides if they won't, he will do things his own way. He tells Renaile he does not care if she can channel and loses his temper, calling her a "Daughter of the Sands", almost causing her to stab him. He tells them if they weren't needed, he would leave them for the Gholam and that the bargain between them is that they go where he tells them and in return, he won't tie them up and force them. Renaile agrees, realising she has made a bargain with ta'veren and hoping to get even one day. Reanne suggests visiting a farm just outside Ebou Dar and the rest agree.
