While Bor was still engaged in tongue-lashing the innkeeper a woman marched in a threw herself into a seat. She wasn't at all graceful or alluring in any way, but rather abrupt and very intentional and self-possessed. Though she wasn't putting any airs whatsoever she seemed to fill the room by just being there. He decided he didn't like her, but seeing as how there would really be no reason to sit near her or talk to her he let that thought go.

  The innkeeper was looking at him strangely, he had let his tirade trail off when the woman had come in. Just before he was about to start again Kallim slid through the door behind him and laid a hand on his shoulder.

  "I'll take care of arrangements later." Kallim said softly, "We are here to meet and old friend."

  Bor rounded on him. "What?" He hissed. "We here to meet someone, and you said nothing to me?" Bor's voice had grown dangerously calm. "Explain yourself."

  Kallim's eyes flashed at the tone Bor used, though he spoke in the same soft tone, "Your father instucted me to say nothing to you until absolutely necessary, I was following my orders. Now, listen carefully because I'll say this once. More years ago than I care to count, your grandfather spent a little time in Tar Valon. Your father and I were only lads. While we lived here Old Lord Caltarra became friends with an Accepted of the White Tower, a distant relation I believe. Well she became Aes Sedai of the White Ajah, if I recall rightly. Your father remembered the friendship and sent her a letter a couple of weeks before we left. She is sitting right over there against the wall." He jerked his head toward the woman who had tied Bor's tongue up when she walked in. "Now, young Master Caltarra, we are going to meet her, and you will keep a civil tongue in your head or it will be the worse for you."

  Bor spluttered not able to chose the right expletive. <i>An Aes Sedai? Light! What has father, the old goat!, gotten me into?</i> He tried to take a deep breath but it came unsteadily. He was in such shock that he didn't even notice Kallim's lack of respect by dropping his title.

  Kallim smiled slightly, "How about you keep your own counsel for the first few minutes and I'll do the talking. When you can find your tongue again...we shall fight that battle when it comes." He finished with a wry grin.

  Bor wasn't really sure what was happening but he followed Kallim to the woman's table. His mind was still reeling, but he heard himself speak the proper greetings. He also heard Kallim beginning reminisce with the rather young-looking woman as if they had been childhood friends, and Kallim was nearly 75!

<i>In complete shock...

  Bor was in a surly mood as pushed through the inn's door. His "escort"  Kallim had insisted on this brand new looking inn. In Bor's experience innkeepers were far more picky about conduct in new inn than in old ones, besides the whole place smelled new. It  didn't have the familiar aroma of pipe-smoke and grubby men. The first thing that caught Bor's attention after the smell was the massive fireplace that looked like a hollowed out pillar. It had four openings and was set in the center of the room not the customary end. Then Bor's eye fell on the burly innkeeper. There was something in the way the man stood that made Bor think of Kallim, and he unconsciously let his hand fall to the hilt of his sword.

  Bor was travel-weary and bordering on anger for the coming loss of freedom. He allow all of his frustration and fatigue to enter his expression as he demanded a dinner and a room for the night.

<i>Why did Kallim chose this...place? Why couldn't he have chosen somewhere where a man could enjoy getting a bit drunk and finding a pretty maid? Why did he have to pick the bloody newest inn in town?</i>

As a new recruit, with whom would I check-in...or whatever warders do? - in  character that is

Thanks for the help, Elgee and Myst. I'm working on plan "b" anyways.

Hi everybody!

I was wondering if there are any Aes Sedai who are of an Andoran noble house. I'm trying to figure out some  RP's. I'd really appreciate the help.

Thanks,
