In this excerpt from "A Memory of Light" by Robert Jordan, a character named Karede questions the approach of another character, Mat, regarding facing an enemy in battle. Karede seems to expect a more conventional, aggressive method of engaging in the fight, while Mat expresses his intention to take a more casual and thoughtful approach. He emphasizes the need to understand the enemy's moves and seems unconcerned about the immediate danger, suggesting that he prefers to rely on the support of his allies to shield him. Mat's lighthearted demeanor contrasts with the seriousness of the situation, suggesting a unique perspective on warfare. While others may be anxious or tense about the impending battle, Mat seems to take it in stride, viewing it almost as an adventure rather than a dire confrontation. This reflects his character's blend of bravery and nonchalance in the face of danger, highlighting a deeper strategy in his approach to conflict while ensuring he has his comrades at his side for protection.
