He wasn't sure what he even wanted at that point, so I thought it was appropriate that her letter was distant.
Honestly, he was acting as a tool and blatantly trying to have his cake and eat it too in the sense that he wanted to be her Warder, but he didn't want to obey her. He wanted to kill Rand in some grand moment of heroism, but didn't want the Dark One to win. He wanted to be associated with Egwene who was the ruler of the Aes Sedai at that point, but he didn't want to recognize that this would make him part of the Tower. He wanted to believe that Rand killed Morgase, even though two women he loves and another friend told him outright that this was not true.
He got a chilly response from her because he was acting like a whack-a-doo. I was glad that Elayne pointed out that he was becoming undependable and a liability in that his personal conflicts was undermining his decision making.

What is to discuss here? You hate Egwene and will spin anything to put her in a negative light

I agree there are plenty of underdeveloped and somewhat one-sided relationships in the series

The only issue is that Warders are not minions - they are honored junior partners.

No, the junior partners are Accepted. Warders are essentially personal bodyguards and/or assistants.

Accepted are not anything, let alone junior partners. Don't think N&E's experience was typical

Yes. An often overlooked point is that ELAYNE, not Egwene, gains the most power in ToM

I can only quibble; Egwene became so insufferable in ToM I'm convinced her fate will be unpleasant.
