When you saw me with a dagger in hand - as if to throw at you - you didn't call for your guards. You didn't fear I was here to kill you. You looked over your shoulder to see what I was aiming at.

It is the enemy you underestimate who kills you.

You have to understand, child. Everyone wants someone in their life, someone who cares for them, someone they can care for. Even a queen.

You trouble me so, Rand al'Thor. Light, sometimes I think the Creator made you just to trouble me.
