Because they’re now going to be on the lam, Perrin and Lan head back to the inn to scoop up the rest of their crew. Loial’s been spending a lot of time writing his book — even enjoying adventure lately! — but it gets interrupted by Perrin’s mad dash to get the fuck out of dodge.

I’m guessing Moiraine is going to stay in Remen? Because it’s only Perrin, Lan, and Loial that book it to the docks for a getaway cruise. Literally. Lan books a trip on a ship called the Snow Goose, because if there are two things I think about when it comes to a ship traveling down a river it’s snow and geese. Right as the ship leaves, the girl who was staring at Perrin at the inn jumps onto to the deck declaring that she’ll go as far as Perrin is going. A bold young woman she is, certainly. She tells Perrin that there’s a ton of commotion in the town square, so it’s good that Perrin and Co. are leaving now. They think that the Aielman chewed through the cage! Those crazy Aielmen, always chewing through cages. When Perrin asks why the girl was staring at him back at the inn, she dodges the question…

The girl is intrigued by Perrin’s company, and declares herself to be a Hunter of the Horn. Perrin is like “buh-what”, and the girl goes onto to brag about her prowess with knives and her thirst for adventurous adventure! The girl calls herself Mandarb, which Perrin finds funny because it’s the name of his horse. She gets self-conscious; says her real name is Zarine and that such a name is no name for a Hunter of the Horn! Awful!

Perrin says the name suits her, but she says perhaps he should call her “Faile”, as in “Falcon”. Perrin stops short, remembering that this sounds like one of Min’s visions! Fuck!

Fuck!

Fuuuuck!

And so forth.
