Outline
Rand and Mat make their way to the Queen's Blessing
Summary
Rand and Mat are stunned by the sight of Caemlyn. Bunt tells them that Rand should get rid of his heron-marked sword if he doesn't want any attention, and then leaves. They begin asking for directions to The Queen's Blessing inn, remembering Thom had told them to go there. They see that a lot of people have white or red cord and cloth at their sword, and Rand decide to buy some to hide the heron mark.
They finally arrive at The Queen's Blessing and talk to the innkeeper, Basel Gill. Rand shows him Thom's flute and tells them that they are friends, but Master Gill doesn't believe that Thom's dead before he sees his corpse. He tells them that he'll give them a room and food and speaks some about Thom's past. He was a Court-bard in Caemlyn and intimate with Queen Morgase. However, his nephew got into some trouble and he left without a word. When he came back again, he left the city half a step ahead the headsman's axe. Gareth Bryne, Captain-General of the Queen's Guards and other old Guardsmen probably remembers the event.
