Message: <blockquote data-quote="dscrank" data-source="post: 110695" data-attributes="member: 3017">Pedron's new roomPedron doesn't much care about the furniture, but he'll definitely take a room with a better lock--preferably one that would give him some trouble.  "I'll take a look at the rooms," Pedron says, and makes a quick inspection of the seven remaining rooms.  He looks for one that's out-of-the-way, not too close to the stairs and perhaps off the main hallway.  Additionally, he checks the windows, both that they latch, and that there's no easy access from the outside--such as a tree or a trellis.  Pedron's being paranoid and he knows it.  He tries not to let Master Ferrin see exactly how paranoid he's being, trying to make it look like his inspection is cursory.  Once he's found a room that's relatively secure, he moves his meager possessions into it and goes about securing it even better.   He leans his pack against  the door so if someone opens it, he'll hear the clatter, then checks and rechecks that it's locked.  He fiddles with the latches on the windows until he's reasonably sure someone would have to break the window in order to get in.  He considers not sleeping in the bed, instead simply arranging the pillows so that it looks like he is, until a bitter laugh escapes him.  Light, now I've really gone over the edge.  Still, he can't escape thoughts of Trollocs and worse.To distract himself from his fears, Pedron tries to think about something else, like Yuri's conversation with that woman.  Who is she?  If she isn't Andoran, where is she from?  Can she channel like the other two?  Is she one of those apprentice Aes Sedai, those Accepted?   More than that, Pedron is curious about Yuri's conversation with her.  She had told him something that no one else had been willing to tell, something about what had happened to his sister.  Pedron hadn't understood much else of the conversation, except that it had something to do with the White Tower.  The details of what had happened don't interest Pedron half as much as the fact that this Lila had told Yuri something that the White Tower wouldn't.  Why would she do that?  If it is that much of a secret, she must be taking a great risk.  What does she want from Yuri?  And most importantly, can Pedron use this information to his advantage?  He's not stupid enough to try to blackmail either Yuri or a woman who can channel, Aes Sedai or not, but surely a secret such as this must be worth something.That line of thought partially succeeds in distracting Pedron from his paranoia, but he still has his hand on his rapier when he falls asleep.</blockquote>
