And possibly an explanation as to why this is not a good idea, rather than blind orders and oblique challenges to prove his worthiness as a Warder. The very NAME of the job suggests protection as the primary purpose. Only Egwene would think unthinking obedience takes precedence. Most people would say that by scaring off the first Bloodknives attack, he did exactly what a Warder should do. Also, no Warder gives a flying f*ck about Tower politics and so forth when they conflict with the life of his charge.
