Re: I highly doubt it... Mat has suspected other Aes Sedai of being BA before, namely Joline RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 17/11/2009 10:29:05 PM
What I mean is that he is so suspicious of Aes Sedai that as soon as he learned of the Black Ajah, it is easy for him to suspect many of the Aes Sedai for being Black Sisters.

Truthfully, I don't think he is smart enough to figure out who he can trust - in many ways, for example, Verin is far more trustworthy than many of the Lightside Aes Sedai - she played both ends of the game, and her very action of showing him pictures (which we knew had been distributed among the darkfriends for quite some time) could serve multiple purposes.

My main point is that it doesn't really matter what Mat decides to do; the Pattern will start tugging him where he needs to be. All Verin did was pass on her best advice - we, as readers, know that this was one of her last acts on behalf of the Light before her suicide so I think her actual delivery was probably rather wry. I'm not sure if Mat knows women enough to pick up on this, though.

Mat won't open the letter - 17/11/2009 08:10:55 PM 1395 Views
Sounds like an Aes Sedai trick - 17/11/2009 08:15:50 PM 612 Views
Verin is one of the few Aes Sedai intelligent enough to pull off such a trick *NM* - 17/11/2009 08:17:53 PM 235 Views

If the Pattern requires Mat to leave before 30 days, then it will force him to. - 17/11/2009 08:24:52 PM 579 Views
Mat, by now, must have serious concerns about Verin being Black Ajah - 17/11/2009 08:33:14 PM 622 Views
I don't think Mat thinks that seriously about it, to be honest. - 17/11/2009 10:13:06 PM 561 Views
I highly doubt it... Mat has suspected other Aes Sedai of being BA before, namely Joline - 17/11/2009 10:19:52 PM 549 Views

so she says - 17/11/2009 08:55:05 PM 510 Views
Which is why I think Mat trusts her - they are both very similar. - 17/11/2009 10:13:48 PM 474 Views
I mostly agree - 17/11/2009 09:19:06 PM 635 Views
That is interesting that Sanderson said that - 17/11/2009 10:26:58 PM 618 Views
What's the significance of the 30 days?? *NM* - 20/11/2009 01:50:17 AM 200 Views
One point you seem wrong - 17/11/2009 10:03:46 PM 546 Views
I think you're wrong. - 18/11/2009 01:01:44 AM 517 Views
