    So now you're mine and you go no where. You're going to post I tell ya. Post!

     

    No serious now, I hope you'll find some muse again and are going to like to post with your novice :)

    If you need any help you know where to find me. Top of the Tower second door on the left.

  2. May I say that Horses don't think, that they don't decide and that they can't talk.

     

    Of course that isn't proved but I think we can presume that horses aren't the most clever beings in the universe.

     

    I don't expect you to start talking with your horse, but I do think that a horse in the RP world being played out by you Kaile is going to think. If you would not, RPs wouldn't be fun.

     

    If I'm the only one with the opinion that playing a horse is oke, as long as it stays a horse and no horse-shaped manlike thing, than consider this as not said.

     

    Still I think that role plays with a horse would become quite boring very soon as there are not much Role Play possibilities. But as your bio got approved and Cross Checked, I wish you a pleasant time as RP-ing your horse.

  3. Aleanda was in her room when suddenly someone knocked the door. "Come in," Aleanda said and waited for the person who had knocked to open the door. It was a servant. The White Aes Sedai held up her hand, as she expected to get a letter. When the servant laid the letter in her hand she wove with the other hand the servant away. "Thank you." Aleanda said while she turned around to take place behind her desk. There she opened the letter and read it.

     

    With haste Aleanda walked to the Mistress of Novices office as she knew Faerzyne Sedai didn't like to wait and well Aleanda would like this to be done soon as well. She had other things planned this afternoon which she wanted to get done with. When she arrived at the Mistress' office she knocked and opened the door. After walking in the office Aleanda had been a few times when she was still Novice she curtsied. "Welcome, Aleanda Sedai. I would like you to meet Syara." Faerzyne said "I came as fast I could Sister." Aleanda said with her cold emotionless voice. She looked at Syara "Welcome to the Tower."

  4. "So I'm too thin and too young?" Ran asked. Only after he had said it he realised it wasn't quite a propriate thing to say, luckily his cheeks didn't get red this time.

     

    Deneira felt a little guilty for her comment. She didnt want to be mean. She looked at him, and shook her head. He just stared at her, and she looked away from him. "I didnt mean it like that... you are younger than me, and I have to take that into account. But it isnt a bad thing..."

     

    Ran smiled. He didn't know what he was doing and as far as he could tell she didn't kno what she was doing either. He hoped he wouldn't get any trouble because of whatever they were going to do. "To take that into account." Ran laughed. You're funny.

     

    Deneira laughed along with him, then winked. "I wasnt trying to be... Im just being me. And me is just how I like to act." She smiled at him, noting his amazing smile. Light, what was she doing here?

     

    The conversation went down for a little. The both of them wandered in their own thought. After a while Ran asked "Now that you're Tower Guard, have you thought about bonding already?"

     

    Deneira didnt really know what to say. She felt lost, and wished she knew what he was thinking of. His question startled her, but she just shook her head. "I will never bond. My emotions are crazy enough, and dealing with another woman would be... insanity. Furthermore, I am bound to Tar Valon. There is no way I could leave this place to protect some... Aes Sedai."

     

    Ran thought about the answer a little. "I came here to learn to protect the Aes Sedai and the Tower Guard. I have not yet thought very much about bonding. But I look up to Aes Sedai. I thought we all did." Ran looked at Deneira while waiting for her answer.

  5. Ran sat in the mess hall. He was joining a good breakfast as he would need it. Today was the day of a little race. He and his mentor would try to win from another mentor and mentee couple. It was promised to be good fun. He really wanted to win and he was sure he could win as he and his mentor were sure a good couple. They'd meet at the back corner of the yards, but Ran had plenty of time as he had gone to eat in time.

     

    After he had finished his breakfast he absent mindedly walked to the place where he had to go. He felt excided and hoped he could win from Shawn and his mentor Corin. Lyv and he were good, but could they beat the other team? That was what he was going to find out later that day.

     

    Ran Arosho

    Tower Trainee.

  6. Ran joined Aran and Lyv to the pond, as he was invited to come along. He wondered what they were going to do, but he was sure it would become fun. He knew his trainee. And well Aran he has met before as well. The pond was outside the yards, but not too far away. He'd been there before with Christine once. A memory that was pretty fresh still. Ran smiled while he thought back of that moment back at the pond. He disliked water when he was young as he'd falling in the canals once. But that moment with Christine he just loved the water.

     

    Arriving at the pond Ran saw someone in the water already. He knew people can here for swimming lessons, cooling down, or just for fun. The sun was shining bright and because Ran had been at the Yards for quite some time now, he still liked this sun very much, while others thought it was too hot. But though Ran liked the sun he wouldn't mind going in to the somewhat chill water. Ran took of his boots and some of his clothes and followed the Tower Guards who were already splashing each other in the water. Ran dived under water, he knew he could swim pretty well now though he knew he wasn't by far the best in the yards.

     

    After a while of swimming and splashing like children Lyv asked to get some firm branched from the trees so that they could do some training. Ran took a dagger and went for looking the branches. As tehre were plenty of trees it didn't took him long to find some good branches. He had actually found more than three and just took them all along with him so that they could chooose.

     

    When Ran returned he saw a fellow trainee had joined the fun of splashing. Shawn was a cool guy. "I found even more than three branches Lyv. So I took them all with me, not a bad move was it?" Ran laughed and laid down the branches and waited for further instructions.

  7. Ran walked out of the Yards to the pond. He had been there quite sometimes and learened to swim there. It was cool, and clean. Ran didn't look back but he was sure Deneira followed him because he heared her footsteps. When he reached the pond he turned around and said "Clean, cool and out of the yards."

     

    Deneira smiled and looked at the pond. "So I see. It is clean, cool, and most certainly away from the blasted yards. But... just a problem. What are we to swim in?" Her eyes sparkled... the question was, had he thought of this part, or no... and if he hadnt, what was he thinking now?

     

    Ran's eyes twinkled and his face show a large smile. His thought weren't decent but instead of saying them out loud he said. "Well we don't have to swim, we also could only walk in the water."

     

    She looked at him, and smiled. She knew he was thinking the same as she, but what had he said? She was a lady. Grinning, she looked at the water again. "We can walk, but you walk beside the water's edge." She never trusted a man, and expeccially a trainee, around water.

     

    Ran smiled when she wanted him to walk at the water's edge. "That's alright with me," he said and took off his boots and pulled up his trousers so they wouldn't become wet, and walked into the water.

     

    She stood there and laughed. "I dont plan on getting wet when I am wearing all my training clothes!" she watched him walk, and then slipped off her boots and rolled up her own pants. She took a step in behind him, and sighed in relief from the cold water. Grinning, she just stepped forward and pushed him, hoping he would fall into the water.

     

    Ran laughed when he got pushed. He menaged to stay up straight. "You're playing dangerous games, if you want to stay dry." Ran said to Deneira while he now pushed her. When she didn't fall he splashed water to her and ran away. "You won't catch me if you keep standing here!" He shouted.

     

    Deneira watched him run, then looked at herself. What did she not want wet? She took off her belt and tossed it, then glanced at the rest of her clothes. She didnt really want those wet either, but unless he said something, they werent coming off. Running after him, she splashed water and giggled. "I thought the guy chased the girl!"

     

    "The guy chases the girl?" Ran asked "Fine." And Ran now turned around and splashed Deneira. After they were both pretty wet he said "That was fun. Shall we lie in the sun now? How about there?" Ran said while pointing at a spot on the grass in the full sun, which was shining bright.

     

    Deneira laughed, and followed him. She felt down onto the ground where he had pointed, and just sprawled herself out, drying in the sun. Closing her eyes, she sighed. "This is alot better than training any day."

     

    Ran laid down next to Deneira. "Indeed much better. I think my Mentor will be looking for me now. I believe she wished to see how I was progressing. Aah well, you're much more pleasant company than she is." Ran laughed while he looked at the Tower Guard next to him.

     

    Deneira laughed. "I am more than certain that you give your mentor plenty of trouble. And i think that was a compliment, so I thank you. Who is your mentor, anyways?"

     

    "It was a compliment," Ran said "And my mentor is Lyv. I'm sure you know here. She's cute.. I mean nice, no she's a good mentor I mean." He blushed.

     

    Deneira laughed and looked at him. Cute? Please, she was at least ten years older... he couldnt have a crush... "I do know Lyv, she is actually a friend of mine. We all hang out in the same crowd. So you think she is cute. Lets hear it boy." Adorable... he had a crush on his mentor. She had to admit, she was a little disappointed, but it was no real loss.

     

    "I didn't said I think she's cute." His cheeks were very red by now. "Well, she is cute, but I don't have a crush or something. Might you have thought that. There are more cute people on the yards." He looked as firm as he could now. He didn't want Deneira to go and spread out gossips.

     

    She noticed the red on his cheeks, and laughed. Laying back where she was before, staring up at the sky above, she sighed, almost happy. "Do not worry, I will admit that there is many... cute people, as you say, in the yard. But Lyv is a good teacher, you are lucky to have a mentor like her."

     

    Ran nodded. She was right, Lyv was an excellent mentor, though she had her times at which she wasn't as excellent as on other times. "She's good, indeed. But why don't you tell me a bit more about your cute people?" Ran said with a naughty smile.

     

    Deneira laughed, rolling onto her side. She had stories that would make his toes curl. When she finally got her breath back together, she looked at him, and grinned. "Cute isnt exactly the word I would use, but they usually about two times your age, and two times your size."

  8. OOC. don't really like the title, but it was the best I could come up with. :) Enjoy:

     

    Aleanda sat in her chair on her room. There was a tence atmosphere as Aleanda couldn't come with the answer. She was quite out of her mood and it was shown on her face. Seen on her face as she wasn't keeping it emotionless because no one would see it because she was in her own room. She looked at papers she had spread out on her desk. Some of the papers contained information about Skimming, while others contained information about the White Tower politics. It had been quite some trouble to find all this out, and it had took Aleanda quite some time. Aleanda got a book from her desk that lay there as well and skimmed through the page on which she had let the book lay open. It was about another long forgotten weave.

     

    Aleanda knew she was a messy person, doing three things at the time. She sighed and closed the book. "First the politics." She said. She knew who was the right person if she would want to have more information about the politics and the past. "But would she allow me to ask questions without appointment?" Aleanda decided to just try. She got her paperwork about the politics gathered and started her walk to the Red Quarters. The least thing she could do was just try.

     

    Aleanda remembered the time she had stood in front of the door of this Sister before. It was quite some couple of years ago, she was just raised to the shawl. Young and foolish. She had walked upon the door, that day, and wanted to knock but realised she acctually didn't dare and just turned around and walked away again. This time Aleanda did dare. When she'd meet the door she knocked and waited for a sign to walk in. When the sign was given she slowly opened the door and walked in.

     

    Aleanda made a curtsey for the Red Aes Sedai before she started to speak. "I'm sorry to interupt in what keeps you busy Sister." Aleanda said in her cold voice while she looked at Muirenn Sedai with her cold green eyes. Her black hair looked quite messy as she hadn't gotten time to brush it yet. "But I'd like to talk with you about politics in the White Tower, now and in the Past." Aleanda paused before she went on. "My name is Aleanda Antori, might you have forgotten. We addressed the same Gray meeting in which we got told about the discovery of Skimming." Muirenn Sedai nodded and Aleanda went on. "Of course I don't want to keep you from more important issues. Only if you have time I'd like to have a conversation about politics, Sister." Aleanda knew she had pretty much putten the emphasis on the last word which acctually was a bit rude, but she wanted to make clear they were in fact of the same rank. Directing her the door would be even ruder. Still Aleanda hoped Muirenn hadn't noticed it, because she still felt like an Accepted looking up to an Aes Sedai.

     

    Aleanda saw Muirenn thinking about it, and looking to what she had laid on her desk before she opened her mouth to answer. Aleanda hoped she could stay as she really wanted to have some answers.

     

    Aleanda Antori,

    Sister of the White Ajah

  9. Ran looked around the yards. He looked to see if there was anyone to put him back to work if he would sit down for a while. Ran had just ran several rounds around the yards, and just wanted to sit and think. But would he sit here in the middle of the yards someone would want to put him back to work again. He looked around, but as the training yards was pretty busy already Ran decided to go to his Barrack. No one would ever see him if he would sit down at the others side of the barrack. He had been there before and hide for his Mentor once.

     

    Ran started to walk in the direction of his Barrack. He was walking absent mindedly and didn't pay much attention to where he was walking. Suddenly Ran felt someone walking up against him. He fell on the ground and the person who wasn't paying attention to where she was looking either fell on him. "The Fortune may get me!" Ran cursed. He wasn't lying pretty comfortable with someone on him. When he acctually saw who it was that lay upon him, it became a little less unpleasant.

  10. Aleanda sat patiently and listened to the story Estel was telling. They were waiting for the last Sisters to come in before the meeting would start. Aleanda sipped her tea. While listenening to Estel, Aleanda looked over her cup to the woman in front of her. She couldn't believe it acctually was Muirenn Sedai. The Green sister Aleanda didn't know who it was. But it was one of the more respected Aes Sedai as well. When Aleanda heared the name of the Green her eyebrows rose. Kaylan Sedai? Aleanda retrieved her emotionless face as quickly as possible again, but she was quite surprised to find another very old Aes Sedai here as well.

     

    When the last sisters had arrived Aleanda noticed that of all Ajahs one Sister had been invited. Of all Ajahs, but for the Gray. This was their meeting so there were a few Gray Sisters. Aleanda wondered what this was all about when Phaedra Sedai, a Gray, started. Aleanda put down her cup of tea, and folded her hand in her lap. She listened carefully. Of course she started with some formalities, but then suddenly she was gone. Gone? Aleanda wondered. She could tell there had been used the One Power, but how. And what was happening Aleanda didn't know. Aleanda got a little more tightened. What was going on? Aleanda's face kept looking at where Phaedra left and her brain worked on full speed on what could have happened. There were ideas, but Aleanda thought they were all too redicilous.

     

    Suddenly Phaedra was back. Behind Nyssa's chair with a flower in her hand. A flower? Where did that get from? There was some tence in the room. Everyone noticed that the Gray Aes Sedai were still relaxed while the other Ajah members were not. Aleanda's face was still as emotionless as always, but her arms were unfolded and laid on the armrests now. She saw the Green and the Red, sitting in front of her looking at Phaedra with eyes bigger than they were normally. The Blue next to her had almost stood up when Phaedra dissapeared. And the other two Ajah sisters were as surprised as the others. What was going on? Phaedra explained.

     

    This time Aleanda couldn't keep her face in shape. When the word skimming fell, her eyes widened in shock. Aleanda remembered the time when she had read a few books in the library on this weave. But after two or thee books she had left the topic, as it isn't smart to keep busy with what was long forgotten. But they had menaged to retrieve the weave. Aleanda couldn't believe what she heared. When the first shock was over Aleanda got her regular face back. Cold and emotionless. She was still haveing some difficulties when her skills were tested on a way like this. She hadn't worn the shawl all that long. Phaedra continued as if she just told them that it was raining. Though all sisters were shocked as if it was raining while there were no clouds.

     

    “We have gathered you here not just to show you that we can, but to show you how it is done.†Aleanda was glad, but hadn't expected anything else. Lea saw Nyssa rising from her chair. She as younger than Phaedra. More of Aleanda's age. Though Aleanda was still younger than Nyssa. Nyssa held up several angreal to help the sisters out with the weave. Aleanda had seen it was a difficult weave, but she hadn't paid any attention to what elements were used so she took one of the Angreal. Kaylan Sedai was the first to speak. She requested to see the weave again. Aleanda knew she would get credit in the White Ajah for this. She was lucky to have been invited at this meeting. Leah would be happy when she would show her the weave. The whole Tower could be happy. There was only one things Aleanda'd like to know. How could they have found out about this? She didn't want to ask it right now, as Nyssa was about to teach them the weave.

  11. Ran walked between the coloured flowers in the gardens of the White Tower. He'd seen nice flowers and gardens from where he was from, but never he had seen a garden like this. Suddenly Ran saw an Accepted sitting on a bench. A pretty nice Accepted it was. Ran saw that she was holding a sketch in her hand. She'd sketched a ... peculiar form. Which should become the Tower.

     

    Before Ran could say anything at all the girl started to mutter. “It isn’t what you think! Not at all! I was just…just…The Tower’s quite exquisite isn’t it?†The Accepted started to turn red. Ran noticed, and smiled a little hoping it wouldn't look rude. He made an imposant bow and said "Goodafternoon Accepted, my name is Ran Arosho I hope you won't mind to take place next to you?" Before the Accepted could answer Ran already sat. "I guess that," Ran pointed at the sketch. "Will become the Tower." Now Ran openly smiled. "The Tower is beautiful. As are you, Accepted. Would you mind telling me your name?" Ran looked her in the eyes. The girl was pretty nice indeed. Ran had to be careful what he was going to say, but not everyone liked his behaviour. Though mostly he was able to keep out of trouble. He hoped he would this time as well.

    Tower Trainee.

  12. Ran had trained all day and wanted to sleep. He only needed to eat something before he would go to his room He wished for a good night of rest so he would be all energetic the next day. Hoping nobody who needed a trainee would see him Ran rushed toward the Mess Hall. But as we're not all as lucky, Ran did walk in someone who needed a Trainee to get something done.

     

    On a soft run Ran ran over the yards when he suddenly felt someone who grabed his shirt and called his name. It was his mentor. No!Ran thought, but didn't say. “Ran, go find Kaylan Sedai of the Green Ajah and personally hand her this package.†No, no, no! Ran's mood hadn't been all that good this day, but he hadn't thought it was even possible to become worse.

     

    Suddenly a Man came out of the door and asked what was going on. Ran remembered the man as being a Captain. Apperantly the man wasn't in a good mood either. “Please get it to her now, do not delay.†Lyv said, and Ran nodded. He knew he had to do it before he could go to eat something. It sounded important, so Ran walked off towards the Tower. Toward Kaylen Sedai of the Green Ajah.

     

    It was a pretty long walk to the Green Quarters in the Tower, luckily Ran knew where to go. Would he not have known it was for sure he had turned the wrong corner for a couple of times. He had been in the Green quarters for a couple of times with his mentor. But when Ran arrived he didn't really know what door to go into for Kaylan Sedai. Ran thought about what door to pick to knock on and ask for Kaylan Sedai, when a door opened and an Aes Sedai walked out. Ran fastly stepped towards her and said "Excuse me Aes Sedai, I'm looking for Kaylan Sedai, I need to deliver this." He pointed at the package he was wearing under his arm. "Could you point me the right direction?"

  13. OOC: I hope you don't mine me walking in :)

     

    Ran was training with a fellow Trainee. They were equally in strenght so Ran the spar was quite exhausting. The practise swords hit eachother time after time. Non of them got hit by the other yet, but Ran knew he was going to loose if he wouldn't strike first. It went quick and before Ran even realised what happened, his sword fell on the ground and his fingers hurt a little.

     

    "Congratulations." Ran panted to his opponent. "I was just paying too less attention." Ran looked at him, and was happy to see he was exhausted as well. When he looked around the yards he saw his Mentor talking to someone. It didn't look like an official Tower Guard to Tower Guard conversation, and if it would look like one Ran wouldn't care, so he gathered his practise sword, his shirt and walked to them.

     

    When arrived at the place the two were talking Ran nodded to Lyv. "Hello Mentor." He turned to the man who was with her. Aran, someone Ran knew because he had gotten some lessons from him. "Hello to you too Sir." Ran said with a nod. The nod was smaller than the one for Lyv, but he had to make differences. "I hope I'm not coming on a wrong time. If so, do send me away." Ran smiled on a way only he could do.

  14. OOC: Took me a couple of days to write it, a couple of weeks to start writing it. But I don't think it will take that long for you to read ;) Enjoy!

     

    IC:

    Aleanda sat and listened to Corin's speech. While she listened, and she listened carefully, she stared to nothing in particularly. She just stared to the other side of the gardens. Her eyes told nothing, neither did her face. She nodded here and there to let Corin and Lavinya know that she was still listening and once when Aleanda wanted to interrupt Corin, because she just entirely disagreed with him, he asked her to finish before she would speak. Aleanda was patient and quite impressed by Corin. Not because what he told was so amazingly good, because actually it was nonsense in Lea's eyes, but she was impressed by how he was speaking. The choices of his words and the sentences created by those words. Aleanda’s eyes tightened a little when Corin talked about glass breaking on an emotionless floor. A white emotionless floor. The tightening of her eyes was hardly noticeable but still Lea thought Lavinya had seen it. Aleanda was still young compared with the other sisters. She had to learn a lot still, and keeping such little things as the tightening of her eyes under control was still difficult for her. Even though these ruthless words Aleanda kept quiet until she was sure Corin had finished. A lot annoyed by the speech, a little annoyed by the flirts Corin made, Aleanda thought about how she would start.

     

    “Impressive Corin.†Aleanda looked at the rose Corin held in his hand. It moved away from Lavinya. Her cheek showed goose bumps. “I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself, and each other.†Aleanda said while her green eyes now looked into Corin’s eyes. “I don’t have any pressing issues at the moment but I thought you’d perhaps like some more time for yourselves. But as I’m welcome to stay, I think I’ll just do so for a little more.†A cold little brief smile appeared on Aleanda’s face. She would enjoy what she was about to say. She would enjoy to at least try, and possibly succeed in turning the Tower Guard down, and perhaps the Gray sister with him. It was foolish of her to support the Tower Guard in his argument, but as she requested she could get it. It wasn’t what Aleanda was used to do, but she couldn’t take it, that people talked about her Ajah like this. “I’m impressed by your speech. The sentences you produce are a clear sign of a player of the Game. A good player you are I have to say. You must have had a good teacher. Still I think you made some mistakes. The words you choose are a bit incorrect.†Aleanda folded her hands and let the pause a little too long so it became a little uncomfortable for her audience. “You’re again talking about a lack of emotion, and spending time in the void. As far as I know is what we do something different from what Tower Trainees do when they learn about the void. After you said these things, you started talking about my emotions, which I indeed showed to you a few minutes ago. I think that is quite illogical. First saying we don’t have emotions, and then saying we do.†This time it was for Corin to listen and not interrupt her. Neither wished Aleanda Lavinya to interrupt her so she kept talking. “I never thought you would understand, but I had expected a little more notion.â€

     

    Aleanda had to agree Corin wasn’t entirely wrong, it fell Aleanda hard to acknowledge this. Neither was he entirely right. When Lavinya spoke, she was partially right as well, Aleanda listened. She addressed the hardest part of the discussion. To control the emotion, or to not show it at all. Aleanda thought back of her time as Accepted. She had doubted amazingly about her Ajah. Brown and White are quite different, but the choice Aleanda had made was the most difficult one ever. Since her raising to Aes Sedai Aleanda had doubted a few times about the hiding the emotions. It was exactly what Lavinya addressed here. The Gray’s point was as solid as the walls of Tar Valon itself. Aleanda’s brain worked on full speed to find a hole to poke at. A hole which would make the wall come down. It came when Lavinya said that showing emotions would lead to interesting discoveries, while looking at Corin. It didn’t make her words be less true, but at least Aleanda could get herself from under responding on this properly. Discussing something she didn’t want to discuss. This was private, and would stay private. “Lavinya, I appreciate you discovered this man here, and I hope you’ll enjoy each other for a little more, but I have to say that this isn’t really proper behaviour; expected from an Aes Sedai. Especially not when you’re in company of another Sister. I’m not here to accompany your flirts and games with each other.†This time it was for Aleanda to raise her finger. She pointed at Corin, as she noticed he wanted to say something. “Now it is your time to stay polite Corin, I’d like to finish before you can speak again.†Aleanda had wondered ever since Corin had asked her to tell something about the White Ajah, why he had asked it. It was obvious that these two people liked each other than they’d want her to believe, so why weren’t they just honest. It wouldn’t be impolite to say that they’d rather be alone. Was it only to hear her about the Ajah? Or was it like a test for Corin himself? To see how well he was in the game? How good he was with the words? Aleanda’d like to know, but she knew it would be inappropriate to ask.

     

    Aleanda pointed at the stem which Corin had cut the flower from. “Perhaps I’m mistaken here Corin, but I don’t believe Flowers weep. You cut the flower from the stem and the moist of life for this flower is coming out of its veins. If I would cut your head of, your body won’t be weeping about the loss of your head. The blood that comes out is just coming out your veins because your heart pumps it out.†Aleanda realised she had said this without any emotion and that it would seem a lot crueller than she was wished to make it seem. “Of course I would never cut your head of, I like your eyes too much for that.†Aleanda had seen how Lavinya felt Corin with her finger, and was quite surprised by it, because she hadn’t thought she would do that in her company. But she was happy to be surprisingly as well. Aleanda was still angry at both of them. A Tower Guard should not argue with Aes Sedai like this. And a Sister shouldn’t so openly support a Tower Guard when they have a discussion. Lea hoped she had gotten them both silent now. She hoped they’ve seen her point and realised it wasn’t as illogical as they at first had thought. But she had low expectations. “I hope you both see now that what you said about us, Corin, about us being illogical while we’re the Ajah of logic, is not quite true. I know that it isn’t that easy to understand, it took me quite a while either. It isn’t all that easy, and I realise that, but you have to agree with me when I say that we’re not that illogical. As I’ve said so many times today, we’re not without emotion we’re hiding it as a protection. It isn’t always necessary, but it is useful most of the times. I hope I’ve shed more light on this topic now Corin. And if it is still a dark mystery for you, I think it will always be.â€

     

    Aleanda stood up and turned to the Aes Sedai and the Tower Guard. I thank you for the conversation, both of you. I enjoyed being out of the daily business for an afternoon, but right now I do have pressing matters that are calling for me. Perhaps you both might consider going back to your duties too. Those dark clouds don’t promise any good. If you have any other quick questions don’t hesitate to ask them now.†Aleanda wouldn’t walk away without leaving the chance for both to ask questions about what she just had said. “Other longer questions about the White Ajah will have to wait for the next time. You could make an appointment and I’d be more than delighted to tell you more about my Ajah.†Aleanda was calm again at the inside. Anger had fled, and admiration of the courage of the Tower Guard had come in. Still Aleanda disapproved what both had done, but she had to say that it took quite some courage.

  15. I remember that on the old site the AOL wasn't really active as well. Only 5/7 not really active members. So you might want to try and get some more activity over there. But I don't give you much hope if you will only wait for them to arrive, because I don't think many will come.

     

    Robin.

  16. Have you sent your bio to Freecastle[at]gmail[dot]com and included the word Freelanders in the subject line?

     

    If so I think it won't take much time anylonger for the Freelanders Staff to reapprove your bio.

     

    If you haven't I think it'd be best to sent your bio to this address.

  17. Aleanda sad behind her desk. The letter written by two of her Gray sisters in her hand. She wove the Novice away and opened the letter to read it. A silver spoon fell on her desk. The spoon showed scales on the flat round ending. "Gray Ajah." Lea told herself. Her eyes moved from the spoon to the letter and she read it. When Aleanda was finished reading she stared out of her window and pondered about the letter. Why would they have sent the letter to her, and not to one of the other white Sisters, or even Sitters. If it would be that important, it would be logic to have invited a sitter. "Perhaps it are my relations with them." she muttered. Aleanda pondered for a while, then decided she would find out answers when she attended the meeting.

     

    Aleanda strode towards the Gray quarters, it was almost four o'clock. She was anxious to know what this was about, to find the reason about the meeting. Aleanda had nothing planned that afternoon, but would she have had something else to do she'd have rescedualed it. She just wanted to attend the meeting for her relations with the Gray Ajah. Which never have been bad, but could always become better.

     

    Arrived at the Gray Ajah quarters Aleanda knocked at the right door and opened it. She walked in to see quite some people in the room already. Aleanda knew it was a little over four, still she'd expected to see more than only these people in the room. These people from whom two had sent her the invitation. "Thanks for the invitations sisters" she said with a nod in direction of Nyssa Dechain and Phaedra Eskarne. "Good afternoon to you sisters." Aleanda said to the other sisters who had arrived before her. She saw a Blue sister of her age, an elder Green sister and.. Aleanda almost couldn't keep her expressionless face in shape when she saw Muirenn Sedai. One of the most eldest people in the Tower was attending the same meeting as Aleanda was. She could barely believe it.

     

    Aleanda took place at the opposite of the Green and Red Sisters, next to the Blue which Aleanda knew as Estel. Aleanda remembered the time they were both Novice, and Accepted. Aleanda accepted the tea and sibbed it while being in conversation with the blue about nohting in particular. The calm, clear face of Aleanda didn't show emotion. Still inside, Aleanda was eager to start the meeting, but it was obvious they were still waiting for others to arrive.
