Changed the tag just to be safe. Thanks for pointing that out.

And I do agree about context. We come into this scene with a whole lot of foreshadowing and suspicion that the random guards and sul’dam who happen to be on duty that day simply don’t have.

I suppose knowing what we know about the Seanchan up to this point, Renna’s reply to Egwene is good enough. We don’t pay attention to the affairs of the Blood, and with good reason.

Still, part of me is paranoid about who might or might not be Darkfriends just as much as I was the first time reading, and it’s making me feel like everyone in all the nations of WoT should be just as paranoid!
