that's what I said! EDIT darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 11/12/2010 04:03:59 PM
at no time when she is forkroot free is she held by only one woman. The only exceptions are when she's brought to Silviana when she's first captured (and she's heavily forkrooted), and then when Turana or Barasine IIRC runs off to check on the Reds leaving only one woman ... and Egwene had sworn not to try anything (implying she could break free of just one).

Where is the quote where we are told one could hold her? The only one I'm aware of is the Silviana quote and that's when Egwene is forkrooted.
