Summary
“I thought you liked Rand,” was the first thing Mat’s mouth could come up with. Because it was solely his mouth responsible for the words coming out of it; his brain had long since keeled over dead. Obviously, since nobody in possession of a functional brain would bring up another man when he had the most beautiful bloody woman in the world right there and interested in kissing him.
“I do,” Elayne said, blush deepening. “But I like you too. I like both of you. Does that…make sense?”
Mat thought about it for a moment, then nodded. There were so many pretty girls in the world, and he’d certainly liked more than one at the same time before. But how could Elayne think he was pretty enough to like at the same time as Rand? Rand had always been the prettiest boy in all of the Two Rivers, and maybe all of Andor, and maybe all of the Westlands, and maybe all of the world. He should’ve been able to easily eclipse Mat in Elayne’s eyes.
And yet, Elayne was fond of him. Of him, in addition to Rand.

Summary
Rand presses on and takes Ebou Dar, pushing the Seanchan back into the sea and discovering someone unexpected in the city.
The palace was in an uproar.
Mat carefully maneuvered around the rushing servants — both those wearing Tylin's House Mitsobar's colors and the barely-dressed slaves that the Seanchan had brought with them or… or created here.
"Lord Mat, what are you doing in the halls?" one of Tylin’s people fussed at him as she passed by — no broad grin on her face today. "I'm certain your things have been packed already, or the queen can have new clothes made for you. You must find her majesty. She will be most cross if she is forced to leave without you." But she was in no mood to grab him and take him to Tylin, off on her own hurried and panic-driven errands.
Forced to leave?
And Mat felt something that he hadn't felt since he'd woken up here in the palace, every part of his body sharp with pain and a looming dread at the back of his mind when the first sound he heard was Tylin's voice — he felt hope.
It had to be Rand and his Asha'man. Nothing else could cause fear like this.

Summary
In a summer set before the events of the series would have taken place, Rand asks Mat a question that ends up taking them down a different path.
"You- ah, you-" Rand licked his lips, nervously. He wasn't quite able to say what he wanted, so he tried another tactic. "I think Egwene wants me to kiss her."
Perrin dropped his half-carved wooden block.
"What makes you say that?" Perrin asked, picking it back up again, and returning to his whittling. "Did she- did she say something?"
"She's wanted that for ages," Mat said, as though it were obvious, and Perrin dropped the block again. Rand eyed him curiously. He wasn't normally clumsy. Mat propped himself up on one of his knees, focusing on Rand. "Why do you think I suggested you learn how to- ah, that's what this is about, isn't it? You do want some practice, after all?"
