A Crown of Swords: Chapter 6
Old Fear and New Fear
Toral Delvar
Characters: Dobraine, Faile, Perrin, Rand
Setting: Royal Palace, Cairhien
Point of view: Perrin
Rand leaves before Perrin and Faile can follow. Dobraine and Faile talk. She implies that it would be better if Colavaere was killed, but he says that he will not violate to the oaths he has sworn. Later, when Perrin and Faile are alone, she rounds on him for asking about Berelain before her when he got back, ignoring that he was asking for info from her thiefcatchers. She tells him Berelain had a rumor spread that he had left Faile and she was "keeping" him. All this makes him angry and he starts shouting at her, which strangely turns her on, but Rand walks in before they can do anything. He asks Perrin to command the army against Illian, but Perrin refuses, saying he is no general. Again he confronts Rand about the Aes Sedai issue. Rand tells him that if he won't lead the army, he will find him something else to do.
