The Second Error of Disendra (Attn: Cavana Sedai)

[Disendra]

Disendra awoke in a foul temper. She had eaten well the previous day, slept well right through the night, and even had pleasant dreams of home, so the Light alone knew why she was in such a mood, but in such a mood she was.

 

She stormed around her room getting ready for the day. She yanked her dress on and scrubbed her teeth furiously before stalking out of her room - slamming her door behind her - and making her way to the sanctuary Estel had shown her, where she had enjoyed her first touching of saidar.

 

What is wrong with me today? Disendra thought as she sat on the bench in that secluded area of the Tower Gardens.

She was more than determined to be an Aes Sedai, and no Aes Sedai showed signs of irrational anger like this. Well, a couple of them look like they chew stinkweed every morning. The random thought made her giggle, and eased off some of the bitterness she was feeling.

 

Bitterness That was it exactly! But what was causing it? Determined to get to the bottom of it, Disendra sat with the wind gently playing through her hair, deep in thought.

 

Finally, she stood up and, with more of her usual composure, marched back into the Tower and through it's many corridors. She acknowledged those Aes Sedai who walked past her with respectful curtsies and gave warm smiles to those novices and Accepted she had already spoken with. Outwardly, she appeared as though nothing was bothering her in teh slightest, but inside, her bitterness was still seething.

 

Eventually, Disendra found the door she was looking for. Cavana Sedai's rooms. With a deep breath, for she had already had some measure of this woman's directness the first night she had arrived at the Tower, Disendra knocked on the door and steeled herself for what she knew was an inevitable reaction to what she was about to do.

 

ooc: :D Dizzy's gunna bark hun. But respectfully, of couse. :D

All night. All bloody night. That was how long it had taken to calm down the frantic trainee. Poor thing. It had just been an accident, really. Two boys had been sparring, and the one had stabbed instead of slashed... the result was a piece of wood sticking through the other boy's stomach. Usually, Cavana was not pulled from her bed for a Healing, however, this case was unusual and her power and patience was demanded. And so, she finally had the boy still enough to Heal him... and he lost control. Well, she knew she would too if it had been her.

 

By the time he was in bed asleep, his wound Healed, it was morning and she had duty in the afternoon. Sinking into her bed, she began getting a good few hours sleep. But of course... no one ever lets the poor First Weaver sleep. A knock was at the door. Cursed light... if it was that boy again, raising a holler, she was going to strangle him. Yanking a robe over her slender body, she went to the door and whipped it open... to find a novice before her.

 

Cavana relaxed for a moment before realising who it was. Honestly... it was the lass that had thrown a fit over having her cart taken from her. The girl would get it back when she was raised to accepted. She didnt need to worry about this. "Good morning, child. What do you need?"

[Disendra]

Curtsying deeply, Disendra waited what she thought was a suitably respectful time before rising again.

 

"Good morning, Aes Sedai, and may the Light shine on you this day.

I was just wondering when I would have the opportunity to retreive my belongings, which the Tower so hastily took from me upon my entry into the Novice book." Disendra leaned forward a little for effect, "My seemingly enforced entry into the Novice book." Straightening again, she continued, in a softer tone. "But that is a mute point now, as I have come to see the necessity for it, and am grateful for it.

However, my possessions are still not available for me to use. I come to you, rather than seeking out the Mistress of Novices, as it was yourself that took charge of my wagon, so you seemed the most logical person to speak with concerning its whereabouts.

Do you think it would be possible for me to see my belongings at some point today?"

 

ooc: a bit pompous, but i think there's a nice element of Dizzy's past that it would be possible to bring out here. :D

The girl curtsied deeply for a moment then rose. What in the light did this girl want? "Good morning, Aes Sedai, and may the Light shine on you this day.” This girl obviously didn’t realize yet that she was only a novice and that that was quite possibly the silliest thing a child could say. “I was just wondering when I would have the opportunity to retrieve my belongings, which the Tower so hastily took from me upon my entry into the Novice book." Did this girl already fancy herself an Aes Sedai? Who was this child’s mentor that she so casually allowed her charge to parade around the tower and act like a village fool? The girl was practically ordering for her items to be handed on a silver platter with apologies. This called for punishment…

 

She leaned forward slightly, as if talking to a friend. "My seemingly enforced entry into the Novice book." And a trip to the Mistress of Novices as well… "But that is a mute point now, as I have come to see the necessity for it, and am grateful for it.” Right… someone really needed to wipe the brown off her nose- and it wasn’t because of visiting the brown ajah for their famous brownies.

 

“However, my possessions are still not available for me to use. I come to you, rather than seeking out the Mistress of Novices, as it was yourself that took charge of my wagon, so you seemed the most logical person to speak with concerning its whereabouts.” Cavana began wondering if she could get away with slapping the girl some sense. No… she might get into trouble on that one… Perhaps a bit of something in her tea… Cavana had to shake her head to get the pranking novice that danced around in her head out for a moment.

 

”Do you think it would be possible for me to see my belongings at some point today?"

 

“Child, you have been here almost a week, and already making demands? It is I that should be demanding of you, and not the other way around. Do you already need money, that you must sell off your cart? You cannot leave the tower, so you cannot go see these items you hold so dear. When you reach Accepted, they shall be returned to you. If you wish them given to someone outside of the tower, then tell me who and they shall be sent.”

 

Cavana crossed her arms and stared at the girl for a few moments. “Fetch me tea, girl, and be quick about it. Run to the infirmary and ask for my favorite. They shall supply what I need.”

 

Cavana then shut the door and returned to her bed, awaiting the silly novice to finish her task.
