When Elayne and Nynaeve request that Mat move into the palace to help them search for the Bowl of the Winds, he comes up with a plan to ward off Queen Tylin's pursuit of him - a fake engagement with Elayne.
"Nynaeve, I'd like a moment alone with Master Cauthon," Elayne said, not taking her eyes off Mat's face. He would move into the palace, no matter what she had to do to make it happen.

"Master Cauthon," Elayne said. She cast about for a place to sit. There was nowhere. He was on the bed, of course, so that wasn't an option. The one chair in the room was piled with nonsense and topped off with that ridiculous hat. "We are both reasonable people." Elayne forgave herself for the lie. "Surely we can come to an arrangement."
