Part of me thinks that the Wise Ones shouldn't have messed with Andor state business when they called Elayne to the first sister ceremony, that they should have focused on her private life, and interrupted a much needed bath.

"Until you can, remember this. We are always more afraid than we wish to be, but we can always be braver than we expect. Hold on to your heart, and the Aes Sedai cannot harm what is really you, your heart. They are not nearly so far above us as we believed. May you always find water and shade, Egwene. And always remember your heart." - Lord of Chaos, chap33. Robert Jordan
