I'm a very guarded and quiet woman. I keep my thoughts and feelings extremely closely guarded, as I trust no one. I lost the man, the greatest of friends, that I was bound to, to suicide. When I read of the bond of a Warder and Aes Sedai, I know exactly what it is.  I felt his death in that I knew he was gone because I could no longer feel his life force within myself. I do not lie by any of these words (or any other aside from for self preservation.)
