I have a simple question, and one of very little importance. Does Tam see Nynaeve as just the Wisdom, or does he lump her in with the Aes Sedai? When he storms into the room of Aes Sedai he refers to her as "Wisdom" and then goes on to ask what the Aes Sedai did to his boy.

Kathleen is a new novice here too, since people are posting recently I'll add here.

Thank you very much for your answers. It is helpful.

Can you roleplay in threads at the same time? Say you are RPing something (a tea) with one person, and you want to RP something else (a prank) with someone else, but say they both happen at the same time (say 2pm on Saturday) Can you do both, if the two stories don't interfere with each other (ie, the prank is not at the tea or done to anyone involved in the tea).

"Welcome to the Tower." The words rang in her ears and the book closing shut secured it her eyes; Aes Sedai were real and someday Kathleen's childhood fantasy could actually come true, all she had to do was try. She was so excited she wanted to jump out of her seat across the desk and hug Pia Sedai. She wanted to laugh and cry with glee. So many emotions ran through her, so many thoughts of how to react, but all she could do was sit and stare in disbelief with the biggest grin her slender face could hold.

It was only a tiny bit of saidar, she reminded herself to calm down, but it was all from me! She knew that many of the girls from generations before had come to the Tower and been turned away after reaching Accepted, and even more still after just a few years as a Novice. They weren't strong enough to channel very much, and some even burned themselves out. This thought was a reminder that she may not last long, and just because she made the gem glow, light she really had made it glow, it didn't mean she would have what it takes to be Aes Sedai. She looked at the wooden box she had set on Pia's desk, some of my relatives burnt out or were turned away, but at least one was strong enough, and if even one was than I can do it too!

She thought about snatching up the box and putting it back in the bag. She had promised her mother she would return it to the Tower. Now that she would be staying at the Tower she would still be keeping her promise if she took it to her room. Who knows what they would do with it? If she had it she could keep it until she was turned out, then she would leave it here. If she was raised, no, when she was raised to the shawl, maybe she could use her grandmother's ring as her own. She thought all of this over in her head, but how would she take the box back now? It was already on the desk and if she put it back in her bag surely Pia Sedai would question her and she would look the fool for taking it. Looking the fool was the last thing she wanted on starting a new life, and she knew she was already failing with that. Coming in with rags and tears, then shifting in her seat, and the outburst of excitement when she had channeled for the first time was not making her look much more than a fool child.

No, that had all happened before she was in the Novice book. That was the difference. Then she had been a foolish girl, now she was Kathleen, a Novice of the White Tower, and she would not be a fool if she could help it. She straighted her back and took the chain with the key to the wooden box off her neck and handed it Pia Sedai. "This was given to me by my mother two years ago," Kathleen explained, " It was my grandmother's. She was Aes Sedai. When she died my mother found this ring and hid it this locked box. She wanted to return it but she was not able to make the journey." There was no need to mention her father forbidding her from coming here. "She gave me the box and asked me to return it to Tower. I don't know who I should give it to, but if I leave it with you do you think you would be able to see it safely where it belongs?"

Kathleen listed intently to the directions she was given as Pia sat next to her, but she studied the stone in Pia's hand. Look through the stone?

But its solid. How I feel through something? Kathleen shifted in her chair, leaning forward toward the stone, surely that would help move her energy into it. She concentrated on them gem, or maybe just stared at, but after a while she let her mind go completely and from deep down with in, she focused. All of a sudden, from the middle of the stone, there was a flash of light. Surprise ran through Kathleen and just as quickly as it appeared the bright light in the gem disappeared. She didn't know if she should laugh or cry, but she laughed. When she looked up at the Mistress of Novices she pleased to see that the Aes Sedai looked pleased with her.

"How did you do that?" Kathleen asked, "or, did I do that? If I did that does it mean I can stay?" As she sat back she was filled so full of questions it was overwhelming, but she had better sense then to rattling off her tongue. She composed herself, and waited for an answer.

Kathleen had no idea what to expect when the solid door opened, but when the young girl stepped past her, face red and streaked from crying, Kathleen was startled. Trying to pull her self together she stepped into the room. She noticed the Aes Sedai who invited her in, had a piece of birch in her hand and she couldn't help but wonder what the girl had done to deserve it.

On what seemed to be a long walk to the chair thoughts ran threw Kathleen's head. Do I really want this? Do I have what it takes? If I don't really want this I can't show her what's in the box. I can say I just found it.Yes, I found it on the street and I'm returning it...But then I would never know. I've come so far, and there is a real chance..even if I can't make in at least I would know. She took a seat and marvelled at the beautiful desk in front of her and at the beautiful woman, Aes Sedai, in front of her.

The Aes Sedai sat down and said, "My name is Pia Tovisen, and I am the Mistress of Novices. How may I help you today, child?" The dreaded question, but without missing a beat Kathleen replied, "My name is Kathleen. I was sent here by my mother to return a package to the Tower." She reached into her bag and took out the little locked wooden box and set it on the table, then added, "And I would like to be tested, if you have the time." She was so relieved that she had done it that she let out a sigh, and looking up at the wonder of the room she realized it may only be beginning.

I just posted my entrance, but I kinda forget the attention MoN part! oopsie!

Looking up at the majestic White Tower, Kathleen realized that she was crying and quickly wiped her face with her hand. Great, she thought, here I am standing outside the most prestigious place in the world, blubbering like an infant! How will they take me seriously with my face all streaked with tears? I didn't walk away from my family and come all this way to get laughed at at the door. Pull yourself together and walk in there like you belong!She took a small, broken mirror out of the sack she had on her back and fixed her hair. She did what she could to make the rags, which had once been her best dress, look presentable. She took a deep breath and entered the door of the White Tower.

She looked around and only then did she realize that she had no plan for when she arrived. For the last two years she was travelling, always wondering if she would ever arrive and sometimes wondering if there really was a White Tower to arrive to. She always thought about getting there, but never what to do when she arrived. Oh, of course she thought about getting tested, after all it ran in the family. She didn't know if that is something she would want. It was something her mother had wanted, but her mother had had a good life without the tower, hadn't she? Of course she had. Kathleen had always loved to hear about the Aes Sedai, and as a child she had dreamed about someday being one, but it was always the way you dream of something you know you'll never have.

She looked around at all the people walking through the halls dressed exactly as her mother had described. That's when it hit her, once they found out what was in the package she carrying, it wouldn't be a choice, she would have to be tested whether she wanted to be or not. She looked around at the Novices and Accepted briskly walking through the halls and their white or banded dresses. Kathleen took a small wooden box out of her bag and just held it. I do want this, she thought hesitantly, yes, this is what I want! She looked up at a straight faced Accepted who had stopped in front of her. Realizing the girl was looking for a response, Kathleen quickly apologized, shoved the box back into her sack and said, "My name is Kathleen, and I am here to be tested." The Accepted turned quickly saying "You'll want to see the Mistress of Novices, follow me." She walked so quickly Kathleen had a little trouble keeping up until, suddenly, she stopped outside a door and knocked.

And there they are!
