New Spring/Chapter 23

==Summary==
:
Moiraine begins searching the rougher parts of Chachin for Siuan. Moiraine thinks Siuan must have looked for the cheapest inns to save money. At an inn called The Ruffled Goose a woman tries to steal Arrow, but Moiraine is alerted thanks to her placed Ward. At The Blind Pig she is laughed at by an innkeeper. At The Silver Penny, the innkeeper Nedare Satarov tries to slip her drugged wine but Moiraine realizes something is wrong. Moiraine places a weave on her, a Blue Ajah secret, that induces fear and makes her drink her own drugged wine. Moiraine spends the rest of the day searching, but cannot find Siuan. She survives more attempts to drug her and to steal Arrow.
As evening falls Siuan finally finds her. She is staying at The Evening Star which is actually a decent inn filled with merchants. The innkeeper, Ailene Tolvina, allows Moiraine to share Siuan's room. Moiraine tells her friend that Avene Sahera's son is not the Dragon Reborn. Siuan responds by saying Ines Demain is staying at the Aesdaishar Palace. She has just become a widow. She named her son Rahien, which means "dawn" in the Old Tongue, because as he was born she saw dawn come up over Dragonmount. The rumors are that a very lucky blacksmith mysteriously died a few days ago. Even though the death is highly suspicious, the Aes Sedai cannot connect his murder to the Black Ajah. Moiraine has a plan to enter the Aesdaishar Palace, which Siuan does not like one bit. The good news is Ethenielle's Aes Sedai advisor is away.
