Doesn't seem to play by anyone's understood rules.
( Said with the sense of irritation that comes with not knowing the new rules any better to try and make it make sense. With River by the sink, she heads toward the collapsing cabinet, trying first the swollen, stuck doors, revealing an abundance of dust and rot, but a stark lack of spider webbing. A fatigued moth takes wing, fluttering past drunkenly and into the room at large, before aiming in stuttering manner for the open door.
She watches it go, closing the cabinet doors behind it. It takes a moment's thought before she bends her knees and thinks to look under the cabinet, expecting to find little in the process. )
You've been outside time before. How?
( She knows better than to claim it nonsense with them presently out of time, and an awareness that the Wheel turns, but doesn't limit in and of itself too much of the weavings or unmakings of the weave in its turning. If time's circular in some aspect, as the Wheel implies, then there are ways to be within and without its influence. Or to cut across.
And that alone in her homeworld's logic. Probably. She doesn't know enough to say, and won't pretend there's anyone here to ask. Even if Moiraine had been here, Nynaeve knew herself well enough to recognise she wouldn't ask her. Not easily. )
