Description
Asmodean straightened smoothly, bowing, but his face could have done for snow, and he crossed the room quickly, as if uncertain what one second more might bring. He always pushed, but perhaps this time he had pushed too far. As he opened the door, Rand spoke again.
"I will see you tonight. Or I will see you dead."
Asmodean's bow was not so graceful this time. "As my Lord Dragon commands," he said hoarsely, and hurriedly pulled the door shut with him on the other side.
The three women looked at Rand, expressionless, not blinking.
"The rest of you go too." Mat practically bound toward the door. "Not you. I have things to say to you yet."
Mat stopped short, sighing loudly and fingering with his medallion. He was the only one who had moved.

This is Mat, not Asmodean. Not nearly foppish enough for Asmodean.

On an unrelated note, never drawing those darn dragons again. Or half open doors! GAH.
Mat, on the other hand, will probably get drawn a lot.
