Distractions... (Attn: Aithne)

[TaeaDawn]

There were few days when Aramina felt the need of a distraction. A true distraction from the grind of her room and the stale facts that never seemed to relent. She had woken from deep sleep no less than 4 times the night before with the need to run to her desk and see to something that had come to her as she slept. When she woke two of them had been absolutely riiculous, one had been treacherous, and the final one had been absolutely brilliant. 1 good idea in 4 was not worth pulling her out of bed that often and she decided that she needed to get her head away from her work for at least half a day.

 

She walked along the halls, watching the people she passed. Most gave her a respctful nod. Even when she had been newly raised she had given off a sense of bearing that most had responded to. Now, she expected it as if it was the most natural thing in the world. Accepted and novices bowed as she went by and as they did, it was a young girl who caught her attention. There was no reason why this one caught her more than any other, but she stopped before the girl and gave a small smile. "You will come with me please." She said, not waiting for the girl to answer.

 

((And your chore is..... distracting her!! Woohooo! We'll see what she comes up with as a means for distraction... :P Oh.. idea just came to me. We'll see.))

Aithne hurried through the busy hallway, not really paying that much attention to what was happening around her. There were pots that needed scrubbing, and the sooner she finished them the more free time she would have before her next class.

 

She noticed an Aes Sedai standing in the middle of the hallway. Not that it was unusual, but this particular Sister seemed to be looking for someone. Aithne was unfamiliar with her, so certainly it was not Aithne that she sought. However, she altered her course to avoid coming close to her.

 

A bloody lot of good that did her. The Sister was staring sternly down at her. "You will come with me please."

 

Aithne's stomach churned. Was she is trouble? Light, please don't make me visit the Mistress of Novices again. She had only been there twice in all her years at the Tower. Once on the day she arrived at the Tower, and once when....no. Perhaps it was best not to think back on that. But Aithne had not done anything to warrant a visit with Faerzyne.

 

Aithne curtsied. "Yes Aes Sedai," she managed to barely whisper.
