That does make sense, but it does not explain everything. It is one thing to publicly refuse to meet with Mat for political reasons, it is quite another to ignore him completely. Elayne is a channeler and has channelers around her. Her pregnancy may mean that it takes some effort to channel, but she can still do it. She could easily cloak herself in an illusion and travel to/from her private rooms for a secret meeting with Mat to talk to him and explain things. How could that be discovered? For that matter she could send Birgitte (who is a friend of Mat) to meet Mat and talk while claiming that she was just there to check the security risk or whatever. The point is that there are lots of ways that Elayne could meet with Mat unofficially without risk. Instead she seems to be ignoring him utterly in actual truth.



Mat seems to be primarily worried about Trollocs and the shadow, which does make sense considering his connection to Rand. The other enemy that he has acknowledged are the Seanchan, who Elayne is also opposed to. I see no reason why Mat would have any problem sharing the technology to create weapons with Elayne&Andor. She knows that Elayne is opposed to the shadow and with the civil-war over, any dragons that Andor gets would be used for purposes Mat would support.
