I never quite understood why her pathetic attempts to defend Rand in that scene with Gawyn were phrased the way they were. She was there when he heard that Morgase had (allegedly) been murdered by Rahvin, and decided to attack to avenge Elayne's mother. That's all she had to say. Instead, she leaves open the possibility that Rand did kill Morgase by saying she couldn't swear to knowing for certain that it wasn't Rand. She goes on to say she will try to prove Rand's innocence, something she has no intention of ever doing. Of course, Gawyn is completely unreasonable about this whole thing, especially considering he knows after Dumai's Wells that his sister loves the man who supposedly killed their mother, but Egwene does nothing to set him straight here.


The reason for her lack of truly attempting to convince Gawyn is easily explained: there was nothing in it for her. Note that, in KoD, she made certain to give more of the story to Mattin because she was doing her best to undermine Elaida as well as give Mattin the idea that she, as Amyrlin, could return his throne to him by ordering Rand to do it. When she has a vested interest in something, she gives it her all. When it's to help a friend, she is half-hearted in her attempts, at best.
