“I hope your path is a happy one, Mat. The Light send you pretty girls and fools who want to gamble.”
It's the least Mat deserves
When a boat has one leak it is sure to have others.
Amyrlin fish talk
“Reliable,” she muttered. “If I knew who was more reliable than a silverpike, I’d not have the problems I do.
She speaks in fish
“The wave that has passed cannot be called back.”
I love when the boat lady says boat lady things
What was Siuan thinking of? She will probably give me one of those sayings about boats and fish, when I can ask her.
And I love her for that
Mat Cauthon was an exhausting young man to keep track of, avoiding her spies with ease; he never gave any sign that he knew they were there, but her eyes-and-ears reported that he seemed to slide out of sight whenever they got too close.
Haha
“Look at it, and remember me. Remember I will come back for it. If anyone wants to take my place, all they have to do is pull it out.” He waggled a finger at them, grinning almost mischievously. “But remember the price of failure.”
Badass
Her informants and her own eavesdropping overheard nothing, and her network of eyes-and-ears would no longer try. Not since one woman had been left bound and gagged, hanging by her ankles from battlements and staring wild-eyed at the four-hundred-foot drop beneath her, and not since the man who had simply disappeared.

He seemed composed now, too much so, a boiling teakettle with the lid strapped down and the spout plugged.
Mat was there, too, slumped in his saddle and looking resigned,

“Oh, burn me. If you’re trying to decide … .” Taking both horses’ reins in one hand, he dug a coin from his pocket, a gold Tar Valon mark, and sighed.
It's gambling time baby
Egwene made a vexed tsk. Men. One almost killed himself, then tried to make a joke of it, and another told him he had done the right thing. Did they never grow up?
The spear swung to Mat, who was trying to slip a knife back up his sleeve without being noticed.
Haha
Mat began with his belt knife and kept right on, pulling knives from his sleeves and under his coat, even one from down the back of his neck, fashioning a pile that seemed to impress even the Aiel women. He made as if to stop, looked at the women, then took two more from each boot top. “I forgot them,” he said with a grin and shrug. The Wise Ones’ unblinking looks wiped his grin away.
Hahahaha
