Quotes

"My Lord, the Lady Edeyn sends a request for your presence in her chambers." Her tone was very neutral, her face as blank as an Aes Sedai's. "Tell her messenger I have not yet recovered from my journey," he said. Anya seemed disappointed with that answer as she curtsied. (Anya to Lan; New Spring, Chapter 22)

"Anya and Esne took Edeyn's commands ahead of his, now, as though they believed that some part of Malkieri ways." (Lan; New Spring, Chapter 26)
