[Ishamael lies in bed. Rand appears to be present.]

Ishamael
"Are you playing in my dreams again, Lanfear?"
nye asa gulom hou'ladou, Lanfear?
again you change [my] unsuspecting dream, Lanfear?
[niː ˈɐsɐ ˈɣulɵm hɐɵ̯.lɐ.dɔœ̯ ˈlänfɪə˞]

[Rand fades away, revealing Lanfear, who is grinning and chuckling.]

Lanfear
"How'd you know?"
Ishamael
"Subtlety's never been your strength."
asa inde tanye zaleen
you are not the chief of softness

[Ishamael gets out of the bed and goes to get a drink from the table. Lanfear stretches and the lights in the room come up, and she also gets out of the bed.]

Lanfear
"I just have to pass the time here while I'm waiting for someone to get some shut-eye."
Ishamael
"People blame us for 'breaking the world' but they didn't bother to pick up the pieces. Three thousand years later and they're still bashing about with swords and queens."
sein iro daronen, yugae rhiod,
they blame us, (for the) breaking of world
no sein daronen abaltadni, kham'es tre'tuhat,
but they are lazy and at fault, (after) many years three-thousand
sein danila mosdranni e manshima e kerenyat.
they keep turning-down, (mucking about with) swords, and (rule by) queen

[Lanfear pours a drink and raises it in a toast.]

Lanfear
"To the past."
tia culieb
to the past
Ishamael
"To the future. After our Great Lord's victory."
[spoken in the Common Tongue]

[They clink glasses and drink.]
