It seemed strange to me that in CoT the Sea Folk Wavemistresses and Windfinders, namely Zaida, barged into Elayne's room during her bath, after shoving Birgitte into the room and then insulting her boots. And ALL the other rude behavior they exhibited. The Sea Folk seem to me a more reserved race, and they put a lot of weight on proprieties.
I know the Sea Folk were after a bargain when they barged into Elayne's room, and they felt a bit put-upon with all the gateways and trying to get their Aes Sedai teachers, but I thought it was a very strange way to portray these high-raking women.
Any thoughts on the purpose of such a depiction?

It was an excuse to have Elayne barged in on while she was in her bathtub.

I think it illustrates the reason the Sea Folk don't send that many embassies.

A scene that will only be truly appreciated when the movie comes out. *NM*
