WoT B1C17: a fun ceilidh and oh no it’s all gone wrong

Everyone deals with the intense awkwardness of last chapter by having a ceilidh and dancing it off. It’s all great fun until about midnight, when suddenly there’s a Fade in the inn and the group have to leave in a great hurry. Nynaeve is kind of bundled along with them. At the city gate, some Children of the Light try and stop them, and Lady Rain kind of hulks out at them. It’s great. As they ride off, they see the inn on fire behind them. Nynaeve, who sees things in black and white, yells at Lady Rain about this. She responds by pointing out that Everything Is Morally Grey.

Okay, having been to a couple of ceilidhs myself, the first part of this chapter is really fun. Everyone laughs while dancing, and Rand messes up a couple times because dancing with Nynaeve and Lady Rain makes him nervous, but it doesn’t matter and nobody cares. Nynaeve is laughing. Rand dances with Egg and it’s awkward and silent as they still haven’t spoken since the shouting match, but oh well. It’s a really nice scene. The boys wonder whether they’ve never seen Nynaeve dance before because it’s not the done thing for the Wisdom to dance. Clearly she needs to go adventuring with the others and not spend the rest of her life in one tiny village.

Rand goes to get a glass of milk after the dance, and is suddenly being threatened at swordpoint by a Fade. It has a smooth, dead-pale, eyeless face, and doesn’t move the way things should move. Ten out of ten for being extremely creepy. It doesn’t kill Rand because “you belong to the Great Lord of the Dark”, and then disappears.

Ooookay. So that’s pretty much what the Dark One told Rand, and probably the others, in the dream. There’s got to be something there for the Fade to not have killed him, so, hmm. Could be purely a prophesy thing? Could be that it can somehow see that Rand can do magic, and assumes (rightly or wrongly) that this means he’s been got by the evil sludge in the male side of magic. Could be that it sensed Lan coming, decided killing Rand would take too long, and made a dramatic exit.

Speaking of dramatic exits.

Children of the Light try to stop the group from leaving town in the middle of the night. This doesn’t work out for them, as Lady Rain becomes a giant scary pillar of Nope with big glowy eyes.

This is after we watch them state outright that Rand is a Darkfriend based on him sassing them earlier. And attempt to attack an Aes Sedai with swords. Something tells me they haven’t met a real one before. After Lady Rain’s done being terrifying, she goes back to normal, denies she did anything and mildly suggests that people see weird things in the dark.

Chapter highlight: Rand apologised to Egg! And she seemed to accept it, pretty much. Awkwardness resolving? Hopefully? Yay?
