swirls of colors = a way for Taveren to communicate?

FarShainMael, could you remind me when that thing with Hawkwing was? I remember reading your post, but I'm too lazy to look for it now. Regarding Perrin's thinking of Mat's father, I don't think that's the same. If he would think of Abell Cauthon and see Mat, that's one thing, but even in his mind he calls Abell 'Mat's father', so he inadvertently thought of Mat at the same time.

It's in KoD Ch4 while he's waiting for Tylee to arrive.

I did find some more about this; check reply #29 here:
