Do you really think he'll tell her to back off the Seanchan?

So, chapter one is out, and I'm enormously pleased with the way it went.
Clearly, the "new" Rand is not a rehash of the bland Rand of EotW. And clearly, he's going to go talk to Egwene now.
But what about? Clearly, he doesn't expect her to be happy. It also looks like he at least knows she's in Tar Valon, or near it.
But he doesn't know how much she has changed, and she doesn't know how much he has changed.
I have a vague feeling neither is going to be as distressed at what the other has to say as they may imagine, though I do expect there to be disagreement.
Basically, I think Rand intends to tell Egwene she needs to get the Tower united. Which she has done already.
He may also tell her that the Seanchan have to be left alone for now. I think this is the part he anticipates her to dislike hearing. Maybe that'll happen, maybe not.
For her part, I think Egwene will have issues with the Black Tower and Taim.
Either way, it should be great to see them both together again after they've both changed so much.
Thoughts?

Even after seeing that their rule is benign to the common folk I can't see him allowing them to continue as they are with TG right on top of them. Either Tuon is going to have another encounter with him and see the change and be "bound to him" or he's going to crush them and literally bind them in some way (perhaps Fortuona has an appointment with an Oath Rod) ... the Prophecy says he will "bind the 9 moons to him" ... although she's not technically DoNM anymore so it seems more likely that he will in some way bind the Seanchan Nation.
If anything I think he's going to ask Egwene to join the Tower under him which she will not be happy about since it will create a number of nightmares in the form of Romanda and Lelaine. He may also insist that Taim/Logain must be considered her equal with both male and female Channelers being ultimately lead by him.
Domani Drag Queen in the White Tower ... Aran'gar watch out!
I think I know what they're going to talk about...

Pretty much - Egwene always wants to pin the blame on someone else; she won't appreciate correction

She'd be pissed just like everyone else in the series.

She has no reason to be pissed about being asked to follow Rand - but that won't stop her of course.

So you would be fine if the leader of your country simply decided one day to follow someone else in

that would ruin her character just as much as it would have ruined Tuon's *NM*

Maybe because they leash female channelers and practice chattel slavery?

Yeah, a 50 year threat of nuclear war is so much better than an army that couldn't cross the Channel

Yes, but Tuon is now the aggressor

Calling her the agressor does not increase the threat. The situation is unchanged

you know all those prophecies that say he will "bind the 9 moons to him"?

We'll all find out soon enough about the truth of the prophecies. I admit that any of these options

the Rand in chapter one seems likely to preach love not war

They are on the offensive is the point. Even if Rand says not to attack them to Egwene
