The Aiel set up camp outside the pass through the Dragonwall, with a Crowning Moment Of Funny when Egwene isn’t made nauseous by the dead bodies, and eavesdropping reveals she suspected Rand would do the same thing. Followed by a Crowning Moment Of Heartwarming when Aviendha gives him the gem-covered heron sword owned by the original Treekiller, and he accepts only the blade. They share a tent now as part of her orders too, and Rand is determined to find out who gave her the necklace she keeps wearing.
It took her a while, but Aviendha is now actually becoming likable again without losing her own character in the process. Hopefully Zarine can do the same thing (come to think of it, she and Perrin haven’t shown up in this book yet. Weird.) Though hopefully the story can get moving again now.
