Re: I highly doubt it... Mat has suspected other Aes Sedai of being BA before, namely Joline RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 17/11/2009 10:29:05 PM
What I mean is that he is so suspicious of Aes Sedai that as soon as he learned of the Black Ajah, it is easy for him to suspect many of the Aes Sedai for being Black Sisters.

Truthfully, I don't think he is smart enough to figure out who he can trust - in many ways, for example, Verin is far more trustworthy than many of the Lightside Aes Sedai - she played both ends of the game, and her very action of showing him pictures (which we knew had been distributed among the darkfriends for quite some time) could serve multiple purposes.

My main point is that it doesn't really matter what Mat decides to do; the Pattern will start tugging him where he needs to be. All Verin did was pass on her best advice - we, as readers, know that this was one of her last acts on behalf of the Light before her suicide so I think her actual delivery was probably rather wry. I'm not sure if Mat knows women enough to pick up on this, though.

Mat won't open the letter - 17/11/2009 08:10:55 PM 1710 Views
Sounds like an Aes Sedai trick - 17/11/2009 08:15:50 PM 893 Views
Verin is one of the few Aes Sedai intelligent enough to pull off such a trick *NM* - 17/11/2009 08:17:53 PM 351 Views
Agreed *NM* - 18/11/2009 05:16:13 PM 328 Views
If the Pattern requires Mat to leave before 30 days, then it will force him to. - 17/11/2009 08:24:52 PM 853 Views
Mat, by now, must have serious concerns about Verin being Black Ajah - 17/11/2009 08:33:14 PM 952 Views
I don't think Mat thinks that seriously about it, to be honest. - 17/11/2009 10:13:06 PM 845 Views
I highly doubt it... Mat has suspected other Aes Sedai of being BA before, namely Joline - 17/11/2009 10:19:52 PM 848 Views

so she says - 17/11/2009 08:55:05 PM 794 Views
Which is why I think Mat trusts her - they are both very similar. - 17/11/2009 10:13:48 PM 743 Views
I mostly agree - 17/11/2009 09:19:06 PM 909 Views
That is interesting that Sanderson said that - 17/11/2009 10:26:58 PM 906 Views
What's the significance of the 30 days?? *NM* - 20/11/2009 01:50:17 AM 321 Views
One point you seem wrong - 17/11/2009 10:03:46 PM 814 Views
I think you're wrong. - 18/11/2009 01:01:44 AM 813 Views
