The Amyrlin discovers the plan to travel to Tear and flabbergastingly encourages it.
The next morning, Egwene, Nynaeve, and Elayne are at work in the kitchens as usual. Ironically, scrubbing pots is part of their punishment for leaving Tar Valon without permission, and here they are planning to fucking do it again. Today!
Siuan storms into the kitchen. She frightens the kitchen staff and sends Egwene and Elayne away so she can speak to Nynaeve in private.
NYNAEVE: Else delivered your message. We found the items in the storeroom.
SIUAN: Else was sent home ten days ago, and I don’t know what you found, but we went through the traitors’ possessions a long time ago, and burned the rest.
NYNAEVE: Gosh, that is shocking new information that suggests someone is trying to manipulate us into going to Tear.
SIUAN: And what do you mean to do about it?
NYNAEVE: Go there and walk right into whatever trap they set?
SIUAN: Sounds good! I’ll give you some gold for the journey.
Oh, great. Now the Amyrlin is actively encouraging bad decisions. What’s next on the agenda, Siuan? Invite the Seanchan over for tea?
