After Random is no longer a threat, Nita and Trillian stay behind to take care of her.
Kim slips back into the house, trying to remember any of her training, anything she read in those books about self-defense, any tips she might have picked up accidentally. She's exposed, she doesn't know if Ishamael or Asmodean are around and if they catch her...
'No. Stay focused.'
Putting her fears aside, she takes a breath and embraces saidar. As always, she feels more alive, but the still tender wound on her back throbs and every other ache and pain makes itself known.
One minute, two minutes, she waits, her heart beating rapidly, expecting to see Ishamael coming after her. But, the coast is clear and she moves through the house, trying to figure out where Shelley might be.
She stops and looks around a corner, noticing that servants seem particularly interested in one room. She cannot see any wards on the room, but she knows they must be there, and using a trick that she learned from her...from Mesaana, she cuts the weaves.
She looks like any other servant, any other maid milling around, and no one pays any attention to her as she knocks.
