Moiraine meets Mat and Rand, gives each of them a Tar Valon silver mark, and promises to speak with them later.
It’s still part of the slow beginning phase of the book. Lots of scene-setting, not much actually happening.
After Rand and Mat finish unloading the casks of booze in the Winespring Inn’s cellar, they head out onto the village green, where they are watched by a raven. Moiraine appears and introduces herself as a student of history who is interested in learning more about Emond’s Field’s past. She gives each young man a Tar Valon silver mark and promises to have a word with them later.
