Bad dreams are ghosts of our fears and worries, haunting us while we sleep. I doubt Valek is in trouble.

I am Trella the victorious leader of the Force of Sheep rebellion. Yes the name sounds ridiculous, and I still can't believe we named a major life changing event after livestock—or actually a stuffed animal—but it made sense at the time.

You put on such a brave front. But I know if I took another step toward you, you'd wet your pants. With your blood. I brandished my knife. But I couldn't keep a straight face the boast sounded ridiculous even to my own ears. I snickered. She laughed. The release of tension made me giddy, and soon I was laughing and crying.

Oh, you made an impression. Like a stone caught in my boot.

Don't knock the power of a pest, Leif said. Persistance and stubborness can be useful in many situations.

Besides, thinking kind thoughts about Valek could be extremely dangerous. I could admire his skills, and be relieved when he was on my side in a fight. But for a rat to like the cat? That scenario ended only one way. With one dead rat.

I didn't expect a knife, though. Is it the one missing from the kitchen? Did Rand report it? I felt betrayed. Why hadn't he just asked for it back? No. It just makes sense to keep track of large kitchen knives, so when one goes missing you're not surprised when someone attacks you with it.
