Would someone please tell me what emotion Mistress al'Vere is feeling? I can't tell why I think her reaction looks "off", but I do.

I thought the same thing! I was wondering if the reference might be intentional, too, since Moiraine is kind of a mixture of a Gandalf/Aragorn character in Wheel of Time. If you knew nothing about Wheel of Time, you might think for a moment that Lan is going to be the mysterious guide, but then he introduces her and steps aside, subverting that expectation that the guide figure is going to be a man. If not intentional, it's a great accidental way of highlighting one of the things that makes Wheel of Time so unique.
I totally agree with the whole we think Lan's going to be the mysterious guide but then he introduces Moiraine thing, and I love that vibe so much.
It's going to be interesting to see how people who haven't read the book view Lan and his 'job' in the series, and how they view Moiraine.
One of my sisters who hasn't read more than book one still isn't sure how she feels about Lan and Moiraine, she likes them but is pretty confused about their roles in the books. And I cannot wait to hear about new fans' thoughts of the characters and their role in the series.
