Perrin nods. He's glad it helped with the pain, though that's about the reaction he expected from Mat.

"And you agreed to that?" Perrin asks, more in jest. Mat may be stubborn enough to at times try doing the exact opposite of what he's told, but he's far from the type to abandon a friend in danger.

"Well, anyway, you succeeded." A slight frown there for the loss of Mat's eye. "Who else was with you?" Someone Perrin doesn't know, he assumes, else Mat would have mentioned them before.
